Ethereum

I agree with Peter here, putting all the load on GETH to serve historical data is not optimal...becomes a classic 'free rider'/'tragedy of the commons' problem.

Happy to engage here rather than X.  Feels gross logging in to fka Twitter these days.

Peter is not wrong that arbitrary pruning is bad for the network, but he is wrong implying Besu as doing this by default.  This is an undocumented experimental feature.  Of course hyperbole gets engagement though.

Good to know...Thanks for the clarification!
