Title: Trimming the blockchain Post by: St.Bit on May 05, 2013, 10:43:31 PM The blockchain contains far more information than is required to operate a wallet. Nobody is interrested in transactions that happend years ago so that information is kinda useless to the average user. A trusted summary of all important/active balances after the n-th block seems sufficient to me to work with all new blocks after than n-th.
I doubt that this is a new idea, but otherwise I haven't stumbled uppon that yet ... Title: Re: Trimming the blockchain Post by: muyuu on May 05, 2013, 10:55:26 PM Multibit.
