Hi, I saw mention of your headergolf project come through on the bitcoin-dev mailing list. I wonder if it might be helpful to establish an information-theoretic (perhaps more appropriately a work-theoretic) lower bound? https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/91967/can-we-measure-bitcoins-accumulated-work-in-terms-of-entropy-in-bits-directly

For block 602784, then I think that means it would be impossible to compress the header chain down below approximately 4.6 megabytes?
