This, however, reduces the node to SPV security of the past history. Particularly for a wallet client— as opposed to a miner or what have you— if you are willing to accept SPV security you could simply be an SPV client. (I like committed UTXO trees, and I believe I was the first person to suggest them— but I think it's good to not over-hype what they do!) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ See everything from the browser to the database with AppDynamics Get end-to-end visibility with application monitoring from AppDynamics Isolate bottlenecks and diagnose root cause in seconds.
