1 2017-03-10 09:36:47 <palexander> Question: 1) Does a pruned node function as a full node in that it relays blocks? 2)Is a node with the full blockchain only useful for other peers to sync?
 2 2017-03-10 09:38:51 <conman> a pruned node relays new blocks
 3 2017-03-10 09:39:13 <conman> it will not advertise the ability to give old blocks though so nodes connecting to it won't ask for them
 4 2017-03-10 09:39:45 <palexander> thanks
 5 2017-03-10 09:42:37 <palexander> Another question: Do I still need to add --prune argument when launching bitcon QT always, or is prune just needed to be ran once?
 6 2017-03-10 11:38:30 <conman> put prune in the bitcoin.conf
 7 2017-03-10 11:38:35 <conman> for it to keep pruning
 8 2017-03-10 18:19:50 <Ge0rges> Hello
 9 2017-03-10 18:20:02 <Ge0rges> I'm exploring bitcoin mining algorithms.
10 2017-03-10 18:20:22 <Ge0rges> I was wondering if anyone has leveraged Apple's Metal to write Bitcoin mining software on iOS
11 2017-03-10 18:20:34 <Ge0rges> And if anyone could provide pointers as to how one would achieve that.
12 2017-03-10 18:22:30 <abpa> Bitcoin mining on iOS devices is unlikely to be effective in any configuration
13 2017-03-10 18:24:27 <Ge0rges> That's for sure, but i'm doing it more as an exploration/project than to actually mine anything
14 2017-03-10 20:33:32 <esno> hi, I want to write lua bindings for bitcoin. now I'm looking for a good documented c/c++ lib. is there any preferred?
15 2017-03-10 20:35:52 <arubi> esno, a library for what?  bitcoin core is in c++ is is probably the most extensive and flexible
16 2017-03-10 21:09:46 <esno> arubi: thx.
17 2017-03-10 22:07:39 <achow101> can someone point me to some resources about what happened with the malleated block?
