br-m: Okay, good to know. I'm wondering if a feature could be added to create like a new torrent each month that is created from a checkpoint in the blockchain file? That way a new node just downloads the torrent plus the changes over the last month.

<preland> Ryushin: That….isn’t the worst idea

<preland> To make sure that the torrent is a correct history though, the hash of it would need to be carried and transmitted by the nodes that are already synced up

br-m: That is what I was thinking. It would be like an official torrent that only the pre-existing complete nodes would have. It would save a lot of wear and tear on storage devices.
