| May 3, 2020 at 14:03 | comment | added | pinhead | Yeah sounds like you get the concept. Please learn more about the trade offs involved with SPV before using it. I'm not aware of any useful PHP bitcoin library. | |
| May 3, 2020 at 14:02 | comment | added | Hamid Naghipour | @pinhead Great, Thank you very much. So there is no need to install bitcoin core when we want to have a SPV node, I was looking a way to change a config that change type of message from block to Header. you said there is not this config and bitcoin core doesn't support SPV node.Am I right? Do you know like this in php please? | |
| May 3, 2020 at 13:54 | comment | added | pinhead | Bcoin is an alternative implementation of the bitcoin protocol. It was written from scratch in nodejs and shares very little code in common with Bitcoin Core which is written in C++. Some open source libraries like the crypto library libsecp256k1 are included with license. But otherwise it is a complete rewrite including networking, wallet, and block validation. | |
| May 3, 2020 at 13:51 | comment | added | Hamid Naghipour | @pinhead The bcoin re write bitcoin in node application with SPV mode? or inside of Node app connect to P2p network with SPV mode? or like me install bitcoin core and only different config? Thank you about "pruning", disk space and bandwidth. | |
| May 3, 2020 at 13:48 | comment | added | pinhead | Bitcoin Core does not have an SPV mode. It can serve SPV clients but by design it is only a full node. If disk space is your only issue you can run it with pruning on. A pruned node deletes old blocks from disk but still maintains a complete UTXO set which is sufficient for full validation. | |
| May 3, 2020 at 13:46 | comment | added | Hamid Naghipour | @pinhead thank you, only can I ask a question? I have downloaded bitcoin source from here github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin and after all steps I can run bitcoin-cli. now it downloaded blocks 8222, but I don't want to download 300GB of blocks and only I want to download headers. this has any line config in bitcoin.conf or Is something completely separate from bitcoin core? | |
