Given that I have pruned the node type, if I turn off the computer, do I need to download 600 again? Should the computer always be on because it was a node? What happens if, for example, I don't run the program for about 5 days?
Does the program work automatically if there is an internet connection or do I have to enter the program so that the program is active and does its work?
There's are options that can "
kinda" set that behavior if you prefer it.
Go to your settings (
Settings->Options...) then tick "
Start Bitcoin Core on system login" under 'Main' tab. That will add Bitcoin Core to your start-up apps.
Then in the setting's 'Window' tab, tick "Minimize to the tray instead of" "Minimize on close"
