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 ...

Search for pruning.
They're there, in their room.
Your mining rig is on fire, yet you're very calm.
