backup wallet.dat, erase the blockchain and redownload bitcoin 13, run it using prune=50000 in bitcoin.conf I hope it is what you are looking for. |

Would that require me to re-download the whole blockchain (120+ Gbs)? I'm trying to avoid that. If that's the case, I'd just setup a new computer and import the wallet.dat. |

If that's the case, I'd just setup a new computer and import the wallet.dat. no, the solution i told you about will let you download the last 50k blocks instead of downloading the full blockchain, which is actually around 200GB. Go to bitcoin.conf and add : prune = x (where x is the number of last blocks you want to download)
This way, you won't have to think about blockchain size. I can only advise you to set an appropriate number of blocks, and avoid redeleting the blockchain after this because i don't know how the wallet will react if it finds a wallet with informations comming from old blocks not downloaded.

It syncs up now, but I don't think its on the correct chain or something. I can't transact from it. If there is risk here, I might be more inclined to just rebuild the wallet on a new computer - but I'd have to DL the whole chain again. Is Bitcoin 13 the client for Ubuntu? |

You can try to figure the date and adjust the number of blocks according to the first transaction issued. You could save a lot of DiscSpace. bitcoin 0.13.x is the latest bitcoin version, here is the download link provided by bitcointalk : https://bitcoin.org/en/downloadIf you want you can redownload the blockchain in a computer with more disk space, and then you can just send your wallet.dat to this new daemon/wallet, regardless if it is Mac, Win, Ubuntu, wallet.dat is an encrypted file, so it doesn't matter what OS is using it. |

Actually it is currently 111GB [/quote] Yes, my mistake sorry, i just checked it : 112G .bitcoin I said around 200gb because it asked me at a moment for 180gb, maybe it was including other blockchains, thanks for the corrections. |
