First draft of the prune command asked in here, right now the command is pretty poor:

  • No options available
  • Prune if there is at least one bitcoin attestation, deleting all others attestations in the timestamp
  • No verification of the attestations before the prune.

The branch is not meant to be merged as it is but as a starting point to add the new feature.

Hi @StefanoFedeli really useful, thank you.
It looks quite good, I'll add some feedbacks on the code.

Could you explicit the used strategy to choose which attestations to remove?

* @param {DetachedTimestampFile[]} detaches - The array of detached file to stamp; input/output parameter.
* @param {Object} options - The option arguments. Not used yet
*/
prune (detaches, options = {}) {

I suggest to update the prune prototype in order to take one DetachedTimestampFile at time, instead an array of file (following the PR's code you are just handle 1 file at time).

const test = require('tape')
const Calendar = require('../src/calendar.js')
const Utils = require('../src/utils.js')
const { URL } = require('url')

Maybe it is auto merging stuff that add URL here and in the src/calendar.js file

getAttestations() returns a Set of every attestations walking the timestamp tree until the leaf. I think in this case, you need to check only the current attestations as: timestamp.attestations

let prunable = false
let maxHead = 0

if (detaches.timestamp.getAttestations().length <= 1) {

count only BitcoinBlockHeaderAttestation, because usually there is at least one PendingAttestation that shouldn't be counted

var iter = timestamp.ops.values()
let res = iter.next()
while (!res.done) {
this.discard_attestation(res.value)
