Bitcoin pruning problem: update and resolution

With regard to Bitcoin Core V27.1.0, the last update caused pruning, the blockchain data optimization process for significant breakup. This problem applies to users who have enabled pruning in their wallets.

problem

To illustrate this problem, let’s get to what is happening when you turn on the cutting with a 6 GB limit. Here’s what is happening:

• Bitcoin Core downloads and processes a wallet.

• The process generates about 14 GB of data.

• Pruning allows you to optimize this data by deleting unnecessary blocks.

However, instead of pruning the entire block headline, it seems that pruning got stuck to about 6 GB, leaving a significant number of unnecessary data.

Consequences

This problem can lead to several problems:

* Resource consumption : Your computer can use more resources (processor and memory) than necessary, potentially slowing the system.

* Spatial storage conditions : If you do not cut the entire block header, you will remain with an unnecessary place to store in the portfolio catalog.

Resolution

To solve this problem, follow the following steps:

• Update to Bitcoin Core V27.1.0 or newer : Make sure you are running the Bitcoin Core version that supports pruning. If you use an older version, consider immediately updating.

• Disable pruning : to completely bypass the trimming process:

* Stop the wallet (e.g. “Bitcoin-Qt Stop).

* Manually remove the ". Bbitcoin/, including all subkredents.

• Hand the block header :

To manually prune the block headline, you need to download and process the blockchain data separately. You can do it by:

* Downloading copies of the latest Bitcoin block header (with [ (

* Creating a new portfolio in this catalog.

* Editing the “Bitcoin.conf” file to turn on the trimming and determine the location of the block header.

Example:

`Bash

Important attention : manual pruning of the block header can be susceptible to errors because it requires manual intervention. If you are not sure about the process or errors, consider seeking the help of an expert for Bitcoin or the Internet community.

By following these steps and updating the compatible version of Bitcoin Core, you should be able to solve the pruning problem and enjoy more efficient experience in the wallet.
