What is it called when you download bitcoin but you don't download the entire blockchain? I forgot what it's called and I can't find the answer on the web.
I think you may be looking for lightning node or lightning network.
How does a #blockchain work?

The Lightning Network is a second layer added to Bitcoin’s (BTC) blockchain that allows off-chain transactions, i.e. transactions between parties not on the blockchain network.cointelegraph.com
No thats not what I'm looking for. It's like downloading only 1gb of the blockchain instead of 8. Something like thatI think you may be looking for lightning node or lightning network.

2) What makes a Light Wallet light? There is no need for downloading the entire blockchain. Light Wallets connect to a server that contains a synchronized node. That’s why they enable users to get to work immediately.
Ok. I found what I was looking for. Pruning.Yup. Moved to off-topic as this hasn't got anything to do with Linux and has even less to do with Kali.
OP, please be mindful when posting. Look for the *most appropriate* sub-forum and post there. Thank you.
