1  Bitcoin / Wallet software / How do I manage my Bitcoins locally without downloading the entire blockchain? on: May 26, 2019, 10:20:20 AM
Hello everyone,

I have been using Bitcoin casually for many years. Back when I started, it was pretty common to use Bitcoin Core and download the entire blockchain to your computer when sending/receiving coins. However, after a long break from using Bitcoin (I don't really have much anymore) I have found that the blockchain is enormous now and it is not feasible to have a local copy on my machine. If I try to launch Bitcoin Core, it will take several weeks on my internet connection to even tell me what my wallet is worth. https://testmyspeed.onl/

I am 100% against any sort of online wallet, I want it to be local. If my hard drive crashes, I am happy to accept the loss.

Given this, what is the modern way of managing Bitcoins locally? Akinator https://xender.vip/

Thank you!
