Thanks, let's dive in, shall we? What issue were you experiencing with the Pi4? I'm asking because there is a common misunderstanding that the entire UTXO set needs to fit into RAM, but that is not the case. The UTXO set is mostly stopped on disk. You only need a couple gigs of RAM for Bitcoin Core to run decently, although more is certainly helpful. UTXO set growth means slower IBD and generally more disk reads during validation, but it's a graceful degradation, not a cliff.

A general synopsis is that with 8Gb Pi4, I cannot add some other apps on my Umbrel OS on top of Core + Lightning + Electrum and some other apps like Jam, Mempool, Nostr relay and Pi-hole. Thats my point, a slow degradation that has made me upgrade to mini-PC within 4 years. Rather than diving further in that aspect, what are core developers doing to resist or prevent further UTXO bloat?
