verify this is required in v26 (doesn't appear to be required in v25, which the docs are currently targeting)
thanks for suggesion @bitnet-io

a suggestion of building the binaries

use the "STRIP" command to make tiny binaries for stacks-node

STRIP(1)                                                                                    GNU Development Tools                                                                                   STRIP(1)

when you build binaries you strip the binary to make it smaller and reduced in size

my binaries are only 35-40MB instead of 300MB

strip target/release/stacks-node

results in like 40mb binary

you can do strip target/release/blockstack-cli target/release/clarity-cli

or try to strip everything in the folder even if its not a binary it will strip out the binaries to make it easier

strip target/release/*

see "like magic" tiny binaries....

but you guys know this already you are the professionals and i am just a peasant bothering you guys with simple ideas to make things better

more useful interesting advice

make .torrent files for the archive files located here (so the files *never go offline ever in case of disaster)

you are more than welcome to strip any binaries you have.
that's entirely out of the scope of this repo, and there's already an open issue to address this. strip simply isn't sufficient for our needs at the moment.
