Re: Bitcoin Core Shutting Computer Down

Bitcoin armory is pretty much the same as Bitcoin core. Any SPV wallet would be nearly as safe if installed on a online computer while taking less time to sync, if you are in a hurry, you can just import it on blockchain.info or any other SPV client.

Its not im in a hurry it just keeps crashing my computer, driving me mad!

import it?

did you try to download the blockchain torrent file from bitcoin.org?

https://bitcoin.org/bin/blockchain/bootstrap.dat.torrent

download it
then copy on your bitcoin install dir and open the wallet...
doing so, you can avoid to download all the blockchain from wallet...

hope this fix your issue!!!!
