You might try the experimental pruning branch, which has been updated to 0.9.7.1 (I don't have the link for the instructions, maybe someone else knows it?)
The download link on Aeon.cash leads to the GitHub release page but I cannot seem to locate the pruning branch.
Where can I find the newly updated pruning branch referenced by Smooth?
Does it have install instructions available?
