thanks for helping me taking a step back, I'm new to bitcoin from a technological perspective


I want to protect my transactions (tx), so I've heard that one of the best habit is to use its own server to protect its address and accounts from public information


Yes, my goal is to use pruning blockchain but I guess I still have to download the full blockchain at least once before the pruned node keep only the last ones.. (like 2 go)


I didn't know about light wallet such as Electrum, I will do some research to know if it can do the job I want

EDIT :

I've just read the Electrum documentation : "The client subscribes to its own addresses (nit: sha256 hashes of scriptPubKeys) so that it would be notified of new transactions touching them. It also synchronizes the existing history of its addresses. This means the client sacrifices some privacy to the server, as the server can now reasonably guess that all these addresses belong to the same entity."  also later  : "Further, all of the connected servers will see the client’s IP address (which might be that of a proxy/VPN/Tor, if used)"

--> so it won't fit with my need for privacy

My idea is to have : pruned node + sparrow

that's my plan, but I guess I need to download the 720 Go first before to rune the pruned node option
