Title: Is there a way to disable a Bitcoin blockchain validation? Post by: Bitcoin_Talk on May 15, 2018, 09:34:18 PM I installed Bitcoin Full Node on Raspberry pi 3b+. Blockchain sync is dead slow because of less CPU. I Guess blockchain validation is time/CPU consuming thing. Is there a way to disable the validation and just download the chain? I understand the consequences. If my peers send wrong data, I will end up using wrong data. But I don't have an alternative. RPC calls are dead slow right now. I just need data to write some code.

But it is not updated since 2014. There is a thread where a guy post latest block chain download link but use it at your own risk as it is not official https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1310261.0 Goto last pages for latest version..

Maybe you should not run a full node, but a lightweight wallet. A lightweight wallet does not download the full blockchain and is not time/gpu consuming. You can try Electrum, many people use it here. Title: Re: Is there a way to disable a Bitcoin blockchain validation?

A Bitcoin node is tricky and there is not much support for maintaining one
