I wonder what will happen when the blockchain is terabytes long...
The Devs are trying to compressing it into <=20 GB . I think if they are doing it, they will have to remove many blocks. I think it will be done soon! ~~MZ~~

I really don't know what to do . I like Bitcoin core .. but that blockchain size downloading takes for ever ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) so should I go with blockchain.info or take Multibit ? what's the safest ? thanks

In theory. I use blockchain.info because last I looked Multibit required a Java install which is not available for my secure platform and which I don't even feel comfortable installing on my non-secure Windows machine. To much bloat, opacity, and weirdness with that framework for my tastes. I'm not a frequent Bitcoin user and hope that if blockchain.info's JS infrastructure is compromised, someone would note it in code before I got screwed. I don't think I've done a transaction since the selling opportunity early in the year, though, and have not kept up on things lately.

It is web wallet, so it might get hacked any time. IMO it is better to use Mutlibit HD which is a little better than Multibit. Remember, it is in Beta stage, so if you want a stable one, you can use Multibit. If you can't install Java, you can use Electrum. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) is there a way to make bitcoin blocks minimum?
Now there is no option to make it. If you can't download whole blocks, then use other wallets like Multibit, Electrum or any web wallet(not recommended) such as Blockchain.info, Coinbase, Hive etc... ~~MZ~~

If blockchain.info got hacked or shut down without warning one should still not lose their bitcoins as long as they've followed the fairly simple procedures to keep a hold of their private keys. Nor can the attacker necessarily get the user's bitcoins because (in theory) blockchain.info themselves do NOT have the private key. What an attacker, or a corrupt management, could do would be to start sending out a bogus javascript which would steal one's password and thus make it so that blockchain info could access the private keys. As I said earlier, I would hope that this form of failure would effect relatively few people before it was detected. The most legitimate problem with blockchain.info is, in my opinion, that the javascript interpreter which is normally part of the user's browser could be exploited. Or other exploits of the host platform could present problems. Naturally this could impact things besides web-wallets of course though. It is worth note that historically most 'web wallets' did NOT follow the model pioneered by blockchain.info. And of course as we know an amazing number of such 'services' ended up stealing the user's Bitcoins. Surprise, surprise. I would not consider a web wallet that did not meet or exceed blockchain.info's standards.

Some of the online wallet service are shared wallet which means you do not control the private key. You can request blockchain.info to send you a copy of your wallet and you could also export the private key. On blockchain.info, the person controlling the private key is only you, they have no access of the private key. You can enable two factor authentication for a better security however.

Thanks for this Mike. Even though I have been using the BitCoin-QT client for a few months now, I was always wondering how long it would take to download and why all of the blocks were useful.

How many can i write on this setting ?
-maxorphanblocks=<n>
Because, my new Bitcoin 0.9.3 is stuck on 751 orphan blocks ... (1 years and 10 week to wait ... since 24h ... and i have restart bitcoin core many time to avoid orphan download).
I understand, now, why people don't use the "nodes" feature of bitcoin core ... if orphan are not erased from bitcoin blockchain.
it's a new pollution for noobs ... ? Generate orphan block to kill nodes job ... ?

OK Understand ... decrease MAXCONNEXION to 3 ... and blockchain flow correctly. if you don't do this ... you always have ORPHAN block (more than 751 in memory) ... and synchro. don't work (i wait since 2 days with a freshly 0.9.3 installed). please, correct this ! ![Embarrassed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/embarrassed.gif) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fimagizer.imageshack.us%2Fa%2Fimg913%2F346%2Fd4S8Z4.jpg&t=665&c=mLjSBB_ngxfVGw)
