This is rather impressive performance for such low end hardware. The RAM impact is unfortunate though…I wonder what the plot would look like going over generations of hardware/ram combinations. I’m pretty sure my bitbodes b1 running at 2.5 watts had 1 GB RAM (https://github.com/FinalHashLLC/bitnodes-hardware) and I’m pretty sure that won’t cut the mustard today, so to speak.

Wow, every year I see faster sync time it's like moore's law but with blocks
Could not be less relevant to anything said here. Nothing i said made any claim at all about whether you should run a pruned versus a full node. The data above is exactly the same no matter what you choose. So if you feel that strongly about pruned nodes, don't run one. Nobody anywhere in any way said you should run one or the other so i don't know what you're wigging out about.
Im sure you are right Guy. I just read pruned and assumed/spazzed. I still dont think core values plebs, full nodes, and keeping this protocol robust on long enough time horizon. Anyway big fan of yours and appreciate all the valuable content you put out.
