Hello,

Just landed in the cryptocoins universe. Still learning about that.

I have downloaded bitcoin-qt wallet, and I am waiting for it to synchronize. I am a bit worried because my available bandwidth is a rather limited.
I still need to synchronize the last 14 weeks, but I'm afraid that will take at least 24 hour.

Bitcoin transactions are exponentially growing these days, so I start worrying about the possibility of being unable to keep my wallet updated. Even If I shut off my computer for just a few days, I will have to wait many hours or even days to have it once again synchronized.

I prefer to keep my own wallet instead of using a web based one, but may be I will have to abandon this idea.

Do you know about current bandwidth requirements to keep a synchronized wallet? And, what will happen in one month? Is this sustainable?

Regards,

 José Antonio
