Bitcoin Core Developer Proposes New Way to Reduce Blockchain Size

Bitcoin Core developer James O’Beirne has proposed a new way to run a Bitcoin pruned node, which would reduce the large file size of Bitcoin’s blockchain. This proposed update to the method by which full nodes prune is part of his larger assumeUTXO protocol project.
