Where can I buy a SafeCoin Nano Ledger?

You can, in example, buy your SafeCoin branded Ledger in our SafeShop. 

What is the difference between a pruned and a full-history validator?

Running a full-history node on the network helps increase the decentralization of SafeCoin. A full-history node records and maintains a full copy of the SafeCoin ledger.

Besides, there are some differences in the hardware requirements, with the pruned one being less demanding in terms of ssd capacity.
