This does require changes to the P2P protocol, as currently there is no way for a node to signal that they store only part of the block chain. Also, clients will have to be modified to take this into account. Right now they are under the assumption that every full node can send them every (previous) block. What would this involve? Do you know of any previous work towards this? Wladimir --001a11c2d30c06d38904f6ae42af Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
