If storage becomes a problem, couldn't BCH just create a new blockchain that just exports all the current stats from the current one to a new one then the storage would be almost "reset".
You have to trust the "current state", if I want to join the network I can't verify it's correct. But if I have the whole chain I'm 100% every balance is correct
Let's say I join the network. I get a masterblock from miners saying I have no bch. I have to trust them I can't verify that fact. But if I have the whole blockchain I can verify
The whole network needs to accept that masterblock like a normal block ;O also the miner needs to complete the hash puzzle in order to create the masterblock in the first place.
How about the argument that since a genesis block is only one block, and there can be an unlimited number of masterblocks, it is easier to verify the genesis block?
My thought was that Shatoshi's keys were being kept for a signing/re-initialization of the blockchain when/if size became an issue. Who wouldn't trust those keys?
