Bitcoin Core's User Interface

{:.not-displayed}

{% include bitcoin-core/download-bitcoin-core.html %}

Bitcoin Core has a built in wallet with graphical and command line/API modes. It can also simultaneously support multiple lightweight wallets with similar [security][bcc validation] and [privacy][bcc privacy] to its built-in wallet.

Warning: you only get the security and privacy benefits in supported lightweight wallets if they make a secure and private connection to your Bitcoin Core every time you use them. This usually requires special configuration.

Lightweight Wallets Using Bitcoin Core

Lightweight wallets usually connect to several random full nodes (like Bitcoin Core) to send and receive all of their data. In the process they [leak private data][bcc privacy data leaking] and make themselves more [vulnerable to attacks][bcc validation protection].

But it's also possible to connect certain lightweight wallets solely to your own Bitcoin Core full node, called a trusted peer. If you do this with a secure and private connection every time you use that lightweight wallet, you'll get most of the security and privacy benefits of a full node as well as [help protect decentralization][bcc validation decentralization].

Trusted Peer Support

The following wallets can securely connect to a trusted peer.

Armory


{% translate walletarmory choose-your-wallet %}

No configuration necessary: Armory uses a local Bitcoin Core full node by default.

GreenBits


GreenBits is a fast and easy to use wallet. Enjoy improved security with a minimal/zero trust approach, optional hardware wallets support, multisignature based 2FA and spending limits functionality.

Requires you setup a [Tor .onion address][bcc tor hs].

1. Open the GreenBits app

2. Go to the configuration screen

3. Choose to Enable SPV (default) and tap Only connect to a trusted peer.

4. Enter your .onion address in the trusted peer field.

5. Restart the app.

Note that GreenAddress will still be able to see your payments; however, you'll have enhanced security as well as privacy from random peers on the Bitcoin network.

mSigna


{% translate walletmsigna choose-your-wallet %}

No configuration necessary: just install Bitcoin Core on the same computer you plan to use mSigna, wait for Bitcoin Core to sync the block chain, and then start mSigna---it will automatically connect to your Bitcoin Core full node.
