I wonder how easy is for a regular Joe to get the bitcoin core wallet and just sync with the blockchain on average machine?
I know there are wallets like Electrum and Armory and zillions of online wallets around the internet, but if someone find bitcoin download the software and start it up, how would his experience be?
about as easy as downloading Call of duty or battlefied or world of warcraft..
as they take about the sametime (many GB) to download fully.. then you have the fun of playing around and learning how to use it..
i think whole blockchain's size will be nearly 40 GB if i'm not wrong.
