No.
We need nodes.
To transmit transactions.
Lite wallet only and must only work on "lightweight" system ... like smartphone.
Yeah, but dont you understand no one that is a casual bitcoin user is going to be a node? nodes should be people that can run a computer 24/7 and have power of computing and so on and so fort, not the average bitcoin user. Bitcoin will fail if most people are encountered with downloading a 20gb and growing file if they download "the official client" which is what people always do.
cal of duty - 22gb
battlefield 3 - 20gb
world of warcraft - alot more
here is 3 examples of where people WOULD download 20 gigabytes purely for maybe 20 hours of game play and for less then $50 of value.
so if people have hundreds or thousands of dollars of value in bitcoin. then it makes sense to run the proper bitcoin-core.
i do laugh at people that complain about the blockchain size but are usually the same people that have atleast 2 games on their system that exceed bitcoins data size.. and would defend their reasoning for thinking its ok to install a game, but not ok to protect their wealth
Just LOL. These are SUPER FAMOUS GAME FRANCHISES, anything they release will be a SUCCESS. Bitcoin is some obscure as fuck MONEY THING for complete newbies. You are completely clueless when it comes to marketing. Bitcoin is NOT marketeable if you need a big fucking ass download to make it work. Again, only computer literate people will care about it. Normal people aren't going to be Bitcoin QT nodes, let alone in non 1st world countries, where no computer will be able to survive the wallet bloat. We need a better lightweight official wallet.
