I know bitcoin core by default downloads the entire blockchain, but is there a stripped down version that isn't 60+gb big? I need to be able to create addresses and label each one for specific usage such as savings, spending 1, spending 2, etc.

    Note that you'll still have to download it completely, you just don't keep it completely after verifying. If you don't download and verify, you don't have full node security.

  • No, it'll prune already while you're synchronizing. Don't manually delete it, you'd have to synchronize from scratch again. Start with -prune=<n>.
