@tusker what you are sugesting is that we can have a pruned blockchain (that already exist by the way), but in order to validate the transactions the miners nodes would have to have the full history (like we have already) is that it or I am missing anything ?
We would need a new proving mechanism to handle it, where the node with the full chain can generate a verifiable proof against some known constant that is able to be validated by the network without the network having the actual block. "Voodoo proof."
Otherwise we can just let node operators set their desired chain retention and you can click a button every 10 years to not lose your funds. Until a better solution is found,...while solving chain storage issues forever.
