I know bitcoin core by default downloads the entire blockchain, but is there a stripped down version that isn't 60+gb big? I need to be able to create addresses and label each one for specific usage such as savings, spending 1, spending 2, etc.

1Note that you'll still have to download it completely, you just don't keep it completely after verifying. If you don't download and verify, you don't have full node security. – Murch – 2016-10-28T17:05:34.230
so i still need 100Gb of space initially to download it then I can delete it? – Patoshi パトシ – 2016-10-31T14:23:11.697
No, it'll prune already while you're synchronizing. Don't manually delete it, you'd have to synchronize from scratch again. Start with
-prune=<n>. – Murch – 2016-10-31T14:59:37.860is there a setting in the bitcoin core gui to just set this option without having to manually create a bitcoin.conf file? also i dont even know where it should go in a win10 / win7 computer. – Patoshi パトシ – 2016-10-31T15:42:47.303
