It seems like optimising the NAT tunneling code would\n\u003e help. Starting by adding more diagnostic stuff to the GUI.

If you don't do that then spv with bundled Core can't help your\n\u003e security because the spv wallet would always be syncing from the p2p\n\u003e network for performance reasons.\n\u003e\nI agree that there is a fundamental incompatibility in usage between\nwallets and nodes. Wallets need to be online as little as possible, nodes\nneed to online as much as possible.\n\nHowever, a full node background process could also be running if the wallet\nis not open itself. Ffor example - by running as a system service.\n\nBitcoin Core's own wallet is also moving to SPV, so this means a general\nsolution is needed to get people to run a node when the wallet is not\nrunning.\n\nMaybe the node shouldn't be controlled from the wallet at all, it could be\na 'node control' user interface on its own (this is what -disablewallet\ndoes currently). In this case, there is no need for packaging it with a\nwallet The only drawback would be that initially, people wouldn't know why\nor when to install this, hence my suggestion to pack it with wallets...\n\nWladimir\n-------------- next part --------------\nAn HTML attachment was scrubbed...\nURL: \u003chttp://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/attachments/20140410/edc08ddf/attachment.html\u003e"}
