Historical data snapshot Feature about xdag

Hi,
Very interesting.
Do you think that this kind of node could be run as node on a simple PC or does it need also the actual hardware specification?
Thanks for your work

Snapshot can't work on a running node, for balance must be fixed in snapshot working process.
So a snapshot node would be developed. And it is a off-line node.
How to using blocks height to cut the storage into two parts: before snapshot part and after snapshot part?
New mining pool will load snapshot and after snapshot part of storage.

Yes, if a snapshot node is added, the newly added node only needs to synchronize the latest snapshot and the data after the snapshot.

It depends on the size of the snapshot and the index space required for data query. I think this means that an simple PC becomes a necessary job for a full node.
