You aren't syncing from scratch dumb ass, you CAN'T.

I don’t think most of the people running Ethereum nodes are informed enough to know what they signed up for. I don’t think they understand the fundamental incentive models, and I don’t think they fully realize where and why they break down with something as simple as not having a blocksize cap.

So what happens when that psychological tipping point is reached? Do people give up? How many nodes have to be lost for this to occur? The explorer websites aren’t even tracking this data anymore. Etherscan.io is no longer tracking full or fast sync directories, Etherchain.org says: Error: Not Found

Etherscan also isn’t letting you zoom out on the memory pool, the queue of transactions waiting to be included into blocks. The reason fees go up is because this queue builds up. You should be able to see this over time.

It seems like people are not reading the subtitle and misunderstanding something. This is not about archival nodes. This is about fully validating nodes. I don’t care if you prune the history or skip the line to catch-up with everyone else. This is about about staying in sync, after the fact. Light nodes aren’t nodes.

I don’t think they understand the fundamental incentive models, and I don’t think they fully realize where and why they break down with something as simple as not having a blocksize cap. Hopefully this article will succeed at teaching that.
