Nuh on Nostr: Rootstock is almost guaranteed to have super light clients before Bitcoin, and maybe ...
Rootstock is almost guaranteed to have super light clients before Bitcoin, and maybe even we see a situation where the most secure way to verify Bitcoin payments is to use Rootstock light clients because they might include Utreexo commitments attested to by 80% of the hash power! Maybe you can even safely prune Bitcoin history if enough of the economic power started to follow that scheme, and every node you want to trade with no longer demands an initial block download and is happy to just check headers + proof of work + Utreexo, and doesn't hold data availability of old blocks against you.
