It dawned on me while reading Gustav's that most of the reason we can't prune an account chain is because of how we validate the voting weight of each account.
And while I agree we keep the prev of the last unreceived send and all blocks forward to guarantee integrity checks when the target account eventually publishes a receive block, I don't see why we cannot prune the rest of the account's history, delegating the responsibility of keeping the account's paper trails to wallets and block explorers.
This would minimize the ledger bloat problem but not eliminate it as we would still keep accounts with unreceived sends of very small amounts and account spamming would still exist.
Any downsides to pruning or other solutions for account spamming you guys can see?
