Just to clarify, to what does the pruning command prune to? Will it basically start syncing from the time you start it up, 500 blocks back, 5 blocks back? Or until all confirmed txs have 1 condo or something?

Here you go.

Near the beginning is the part where pruning is discussed.

It's super easy to prune a bitcoind. Just add
Code:
prune
to the bitcoin.conf file.

I've been looking for a nice tutorial on how to get bitcoind configured for VPS consumtotiuon, something like a Digitalocean-type or something more dedicated like Google Apps / OpenShift.

Tutorial for pruning bitcoind to be optimized for a small VPS consumption and maybe the development of a checkout either on PHP, NodeJS or Python/Django/Flask.

Regards.
