The NetworkStatusResponse
requires the genesis_block_identifier
. However, our nodes are able to prune history from time to time in a safe way. Since the nodes - per default - don’t keep all the history, nodes might not be able to access the genesis block.
So I’m wondering how we should populate the genesis_block_identifier
field?
We could populate it with the id of the oldest block that is available on the node, would this be fine? Nodes however might have a different pruning state, for example: node A might have pruned everything below block X, whereas node B might have pruned everything below block Y.
Many thanks for the help!
