There is no good reason to prevent a blockchain download via other methods.&nbsp; In a future with the bitcoin network running close to it's capacity, downloading the entire blockchain over the P2P network will be harmful.&nbsp; <br/><br/>Even a chain that has already been pruned of it's merkle trees should be able to be verified from the start, otherwise what good is using a merkle tree at all?</div> text/html
