So the following deduction&#xA;&gt;&gt; is just based on common sense.&#xA;&gt;&gt; &#xA;&gt;&gt; a) It is possible to make unlimited number of 1-in-100-out txs&#xA;&gt;&gt; &#xA;&gt;&gt; b) The maximum number of 100-in-1-out txs is limited by the number of&#xA;&gt;&gt; previous 1-in-100-out txs&#xA;&gt;&gt; &#xA;&gt;&gt; c) Since bitcrust performs not good with 100-in-1-out txs, for anti-DoS&#xA;&gt;&gt; purpose you should limit the number of previous 1-in-100-out txs. &#xA;&gt;&gt; &#xA;&gt;&gt; d) Limit 1-in-100-out txs == Limit UTXO growth&#xA;&gt;&gt; &#xA;&gt;&gt; I’m not surprised that you find an model more efficient than Core. But I&#xA;&gt;&gt; don’t believe one could find a model that doesn’t become more efficient&#xA;&gt;&gt; with UTXO growth limitation.&#xA;&gt; &#xA;&gt; My efficiency claims are *only* with regards to order validation. If we&#xA;&gt; assume all transactions are already pre-synced and verified, bitcrust&#39;s&#xA;&gt; order validation is very fast, and (only slightly) negatively effected&#xA;&gt; by input-counts.&#xA;&#xA;pre-synced means already in mempool and verified? Then it sounds like we just need some mempool optimisation? The tx order in a block is not important, unless they are dependent&#xA;&#xA;&gt; &#xA;&gt;&gt; One more question: what is the absolute minimum disk and memory usage in&#xA;&gt;&gt; bitcrust, compared with the pruning mode in Core?&#xA;&gt; &#xA;&gt; As bitcrust doesn&#39;t support this yet, I cannot give accurate numbers,&#xA;&gt; but I&#39;ve provided some numbers estimates earlier in the thread.&#xA;&gt; &#xA;&gt; &#xA;&gt; Rereading my post and these comments, I may have stepped on some toes&#xA;&gt; with regards to SegWit&#39;s model. I like SegWit (though I may have a&#xA;&gt; slight preference for BIP140), and I understand the reasons for the&#xA;&gt; &#34;discount&#34;, so this was not my intention. I just think that the reversal&#xA;&gt; of costs during peak load order validation is a rather interesting&#xA;&gt; feature of using spend-tree  based validation. &#xA;&gt; &#xA;&gt; Tomas&#xA;&#xA;Please no conspiracy theory like stepping on someone’s toes. I believe it’s always nice to challenge the established model. However, as I’m trying to make some hardfork design, I intend to have a stricter UTXO growth limit. As you said &#34;protocol addressing the UTXO growth, might not be worth considering protocol improvements*, it sounds like UTXO growth limit wouldn’t be very helpful for your model, which I doubt.</html></oembed>
