that's not running kaspa, it just a peeking node/relay.
so you're trusting a handful of full real nodes for the entire history of the chain, since your pruned node doesn't replay anything.
it just accepts a UTXO snapshot. if those archival nodes lie, you can't detect it if you weren't listening during that time.
and if the ~317 node operators wanted to change the rules, what stops them? you just had a hard fork last month that the whole community "smoothly" complied with, and the installer you linked auto-updates itself. that's not a decentralized consensus, that's a dev team with a release schedule.
also curious what the bandwidth looks like at 100 bps, since you're already throttled to 9 peers just to make 10 bps manageable on normal hardware.
it sounds like another high-throughput-first crypto project, but with the illusion of node running.
