Title: Block chain too big for Live CD Post by: jibinkor on October 25, 2012, 07:11:24 PM Hello,
I created a secure offline wallet using a Ubuntu Live CD. When trying to verify that the funds I sent to it had been received and that I could send them back to my online wallet, I ran out of space (not enough RAM, I suppose) before the client had finished syncing the block chain. What's the best solution to this? Do I buy more RAM or can I store the block chain on the hard drive (or USB stick) instead of in the RAM without compromising security? Thanks in advance!

Cool! I've looked it up on Google, and it looks good. Thanks for the tip! |
