Title: Local Wallet with Online Blockchain. Is it possible? Post by: Duff___Man on December 22, 2013, 05:46:50 PM Hi guys
Its just a thought I had, is it possible to have a local wallet with an online blockchain? The local wallet would have to connect to the blockchain to allow transfers to go through. User's wouldn't have to download a huge blockchain and could transfer funds through their local wallet. Title: Re: Local Wallet with Online Blockchain. Is it possible?

Yep - like PRab says - its exactly how electrum works. Much more user-friendly than having to download the huge blockchain. Title: Re: Local Wallet with Online Blockchain. Is it possible?

There is a client library with wallet related functions that connects to a remote server. This is not an end-user product though. Title: Re: Local Wallet with Online Blockchain. Is it possible?

I use electrum but I'm not qualified to answer that. They have a dedicated sub-forum if you want to ask the developers about the issue. Would be interested to know myself. |
