This could be pretty\nmuch transparent to the user - it would sync in the background, the wallet\ncould show statistics about the node, but is not dependent on it.\n\nIn exchange the user would get increased (full node level) security, as the\nSPV wallet would have a local trusted node.\n\nDoes this sound like a good idea?\n\nIs there any way that Bitcoin Core can help to accomedate this 'embedded'\nusage? Specific Interfaces, special builds - maybe add a walletless\nbitcoind build to gitian - bindings, dlls, etc?\n\nWladimir\n-------------- next part --------------\nAn HTML attachment was scrubbed...\nURL: \u003chttp://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/attachments/20140409/6673abbe/attachment.html\u003e"}
