it is a pain in the ass that you need to download a total of 3gb to have the bitcoin core though you have a turtle internet what a shame maybe developers out there could manage to have a bit internal of the memory to support many person to download such a thing! we can minimize the GB but not affecting the system and performance and others!
The problem lies to your turtle net, why not just change your provider so you can experience the usefulness of bitcoin core? This is what I think before I'm trying to download the whole network but it's all worth it when it's done. And if you are also looking at the size, be like this man.I just purchased a new external HDD to run a Bitcoin Core node on my MacBook Air. It's syncing right now and I have never felt so much part of the revolution/evolution
