This saves 2/3 of disk space (down to 31GB as of Jan 2021). This is preferable over <code>monerod --prune-blockchain</code> which only logically releases space inside the file while the file remains large. The <code>monero-blockchain-prune</code> creates a shrinked copy of the blockchain file.

Note, Monero daemon automatically generates TLS certificate on each restart. Manual generation with this tool is only useful if you want to pin TLS certificate fingerprint in your monero wallet.
