>the way craig proposes to prune tx is flawed
It is literally described in the original whitepaper. You didn't read it, did you? Yet you speak like you are an expert. Pathetic

I'll try to put it in a different way:
All you need to validly mine blocks is the utxo set and the previous block hash. If you don't need spent TXs to mine a block, that means they can be deleted (prune = remove = delete).

You would benefit from reading section 7 in the whitepaper if you want to understand this. I have attached it with the picture and marked the specific part mentioning pruning, or "discarding" as is the word Craig used
