📝 Original message:Of course.
My proposal was just for the pruned nodes.
I.e. You would have a majority (maybe not even a majority required) of
nodes storing the whole blockchain and pruned nodes would store
"random" parts of the blockchain, according to the resources they
have, which would be organized as a DHT.
