15:20:50 <m-relay> <n​inoni:matrix.org> It shows and I am log in . I just do not know why do not ask where on which disc to download the node ?
15:23:44 <m-relay> <n​inoni:matrix.org> I have a partition of the disc to designeted for that which I have been preapering long time to make a space . 
15:23:45 <m-relay> <n​inoni:matrix.org> However after I have chosen advance and restore wallet and I am log in I do not have a glue what the app is doing now. It does not ask me where to download the 250GB node ?
15:26:23 <m-relay> <t​obtoht:monero.social> Settings -> Node -> Blockchain location

15:44:52 <m-relay> <n​inoni:matrix.org> Thank you . Yes it is possible to change location over there .Unfortunately I have some problem with access to the partition of the disc. It will take me a while to find out why I can not access it . I think it is encrypted .
15:44:53 <m-relay> <n​inoni:matrix.org> So what the app is doing now and how much space I need for it ? :
15:46:16 <m-relay> <t​obtoht:monero.social> It appears to be synchronizing to the location you selected
15:49:40 <m-relay> <n​inoni:matrix.org> https://matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/v1/download/matrix.org/AXweKsRjftMsHfRmogPKTQFW
15:51:45 <m-relay> <n​inoni:matrix.org> https://matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/v1/download/matrix.org/JdicLVkVpONoBOlqemwoYYBa
15:52:14 <m-relay> <n​inoni:matrix.org> Yes but I do not think it is a location I want because I got this massage :
15:55:56 <m-relay> <t​obtoht:monero.social> how much space does the blockchain location actually have available? `df -h /path/to/ldmb/folder`
15:59:54 <m-relay> <n​inoni:matrix.org> https://matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/v1/download/matrix.org/HUQzawZpmllvNfXuiPACZpAy
16:00:05 <m-relay> <n​inoni:matrix.org> Thank you for asking : you know I have prepared 500GB partition for that but maybe it is encrypted by my friend who help me with computer installations . I say that because of this massage above and also when I have chosen the disc I have seen a lock on the disc :
16:12:08 <m-relay> <n​inoni:matrix.org> How much space it needs for the advance mode ? It says above in this warning it requires 55GB for a block chain .Is it right ? 
16:12:09 <m-relay> <n​inoni:matrix.org> Actually I have been thinking I need 250GB for a node so now I am confused what actually now I am downloading ?
16:13:38 <m-relay> <t​obtoht:monero.social> the warning hasn't been updated in a while
16:13:47 <m-relay> <n​inoni:matrix.org> and if the application do synchronizing then I guess there is enough space in the destination location on my computer , right ?
16:13:55 <m-relay> <t​obtoht:monero.social> i'm not sure if GUI prunes the blockchain by default, but either way it's higher than 55G
16:14:46 <m-relay> <t​obtoht:monero.social> if it's progressing then everything should be in order. if in doubt, try restarting the GUI and check if starts where it left off.
16:15:10 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> It does
16:15:17 <moneromooo> I think the pruned one is something like 90 GB.
16:15:19 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Around 95gb
16:18:52 <m-relay> <n​inoni:matrix.org> It must be right then that it is about 90GB as I think someone here or I red somewhere mentioned 80GB.
16:19:32 <moneromooo> Ah, inflation...
16:21:09 <m-relay> <n​inoni:matrix.org> So after the advance mode is chosen it will download a prune version ? I have been thinking to download the full version as it is suggested here :  https://www.getmonero.org/resources/moneropedia/pruning.html
16:27:50 <moneromooo> To get a pruned version for sure, you can stop monerod (stopping the GUI ought to either stop it or ask you about it), then run monerod once with --prune-blockchain (IIRC), then exit monerod. Then you can run the GUI again, your chain will be pruned and stay that way.
16:28:16 <moneromooo> If you put your chain in the non standard place, you will have to use --data-dir with monerod to match, of course.
16:29:13 <moneromooo> It is much better to prune from the get go rather than once the chain is fullu downloaded, because I never optimized the "prune a fully up to date chain" case.
16:29:37 <moneromooo> (it does work, it is just very slow)
17:05:22 <m-relay> <n​inoni:matrix.org> Is it not better to have full version 250GB of block chain downloaded instead of pruned one ?
17:16:45 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Depends on your use case
17:17:41 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Its not necessary for day-to-day users. You still provide 1/8th of the blockchain to peers, so its not centralizing like btc prunes.(more like a torrent)
17:22:36 <m-relay> <n​inoni:matrix.org> For now I will be an occasional user . This is my step by step approach to know more about Monero and how to use it and slowly to purchase hopefully as much as I can with it and replace any electronic visa card transactions .
17:22:37 <m-relay> <n​inoni:matrix.org> So according to what you say in my case it is enough to have prune version . I see.  I will go for it then .
17:27:01 <ofrnxmr> yes, a pruned node is good🙏
18:34:25 <m-relay> <n​inoni:matrix.org> Thank you for confirmation .
