Would it be a overkill to mention that the REST block call (/rest/block/<blockhash>.<json|bin|hex>) also could return a http 404 if a pruned block was requested? (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/e9af4e65b5afaa870f6cdcf2f7c2ee56c703bffa/src/rest.cpp#L200)

LGTM. ACK. Didn't check the spelling / english.

Would it be worth it to include anything about switching wallets with pruning enabled? It is my understanding that if the blockfiles get pruned past where the wallet last updated that you will need to redownload the entire blockchain.

If you run with pruning enabled, you cannot have any wallet at all, currently.

My bad. I thought #6057 had been merged.

@PRabahy That's a common misconception, so it is good that it's even mentioned in this text that pruning currently doesn't interoperate with the wallet.

#6057 needs a lot of testing, but no matter what, it's too late for 0.11.
