Hi everyone,

Just a quick heads-up: I’m hosting AssumeUTXO files and Bitcoin blockchain snapshots on this website, inspired by the “prunednode.today” project from stepansnigirev/Specter:

If you’re interested, please double-check the technical details. I’ve included results from gettxoutsetinfo and AssumeUTXO parameters from chainparams:

Hope this is useful for someone!

Cheers, jaonoctus
