The bitcoin daemon on the **online computer** requires a complete and
up-to-date blockchain for tracking addresses. Since its work is more CPU and
disk intensive, a more powerful computer is recommended here. You'll also
need plenty of free disk space for the rapidly growing blockchain (~100GB at

Two blockchain operations are especially resource-intensive: **synchronizing
the blockchain** and **importing existing addresses with balances**. If you
synchronize often (once a week, for example) and take care to import your
addresses **before** spending into them, then it's possible to use a
