Cool, that makes sense. I guess it isn’t actually transferring anything from the pruned node anyway. Just replacing the storage location and adding data.
Same could be said then, I presume, if someone has a 1TB hard drive and the timechain eventually exceeds 1TB. They’ll need to get a new/larger external drive, restart the IBD there, and then point the node to the new data storage.
Thanks for helping me think this through. Studying Bitcoin means learning so much about so many diverse fields. Energy systems, economics, computer science, political philosophy, game theory, the list goes on 🫡
