After looking into this more deeply (thanks to Luke Dashjr for pointing me
in the right direction) it is now clear to me that storage isn't the real
issue, but rather the "initial blockchain sync" time - in which storage
certainly has a significant role to play, at least currently.
At the moment, UTreeXO seems like a promising first step. Perhaps there is
a more efficient way to sync the chain without having to download

About price space in the UTXO set:<br>
<br>
I am highly concerned with that proposal.<br>
The reason is this could restrict users to do proper UTXO management and le=
ad to doxing and privacy issues. Now there are few costs associated to havi=

<br>
Sjors Provoost suggested that I email this mailing list as notice of my int=
ent<br>
to get a pull-req merged that would remove the arbitrary 80-byte, 1 output =
/<br>
tx, standardness restrictions on OP_Return outputs. His rationale was that<=
br>
removing these standardness restrictions could potentially open up addition=
al<br>
transaction pinning(1) vectors. Since this is a potential problem with any<=
br>
relaxation of standardness rules, I don't consider this to be an import=
ant<br>
concern. But consider this email your notice.<br>
<br>
At least some miners appear to be mining non-bitcoin-core-standard<br>
transactions. So with respect to the hash power of those miners these pinni=
ng<br>
vectors may in fact exist already.<br>
