I recently completed downloading the entire Bitcoin blockchain, but I’m facing a challenge with storage. My 1TB SSD is nearly full, with over 80% of the space used.
I understand that I can prune the blockchain through the bitcoin.conf file, but I have a couple of concerns:
-
Impact of Pruning: I’m planning to use Sparrow Wallet and connect it to a private Electrum server that I’ve set up on my Raspberry Pi. Will pruning the blockchain affect my ability to view my transactions?
-
Upgrading to a Larger SSD: If I decide to upgrade to a higher-capacity SSD, how can I transfer the already downloaded blockchain to the new SSD without having to start from scratch?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
