Blackcat: maybe there is an option like, do not scan blocks <900021 or similair. Just in case the user knows exactly he did not get payments before block xy. But actually it could be a problem, once your first silent payment get pruned and you are to reinstall this application...

My two reasons I voted against.

Joe: you might want to read the book called: The Cryptopians by Laura Shin. It explains the Story of Ethereum, it s founders, the ban of miners and the DAO hack. You will understand why Ethereum is the mother of Shitcoins.

Announcing Frigate.

Frigate is an experimental Electrum server testing efficient Silent Payments scanning with ephemeral client keys.

Note that Frigate is currently a proof of concept for supporting Silent Payments on Electrum servers, and not a replacement for Electrs, Fulcrum etc.
