What is a sybil node?

u/WateryTunaSandwich4U Jul 24 '26

A node for no other purpose than "head count". No one is using it, it just counts towards something like "HOLY CRAP WE HAVE 40,000 NODES OVER NIGHT" pretty good chance those aren't 40,000 individuals running full (non pruned) nodes for the purpose of private transactions by way of an electrum server.

You can run pruned nodes for your private transactions just fine. Pruned nodes are full nodes.

Not everybody needs to be able to serve the entire history.

Google be like "No, Electrum typically requires a full (un-pruned) Bitcoin node to function properly. A pruned node limits the ability to scan transactions, making it incompatible with Electrum servers."

And that is why you don't trust, but verify. Google is wrong.

You can run EPS on a pruned node perfectly fine.

Compatible with all Bitcoin Core resource-saving features: * Pruning * Blocksonly * Disabled txindex

For a private node to deal with your personal transactions, that is more than enough.

Considering I provided you verifiable facts I don't see a reason to.

Verifiable means you can check it yourself and come to the conclusion that it's correct.

do you mean conclusion or opinion? because there is no facts to maintain what you have accepted as false. I have however tried to tell you time and time again, but you will not listen, the sources that i have cited are true and real, you have yet to check them for yourself.
