Dogecoin Blockchain Download - As part of the first run of Dogecoin Core Portable, you'll be asked if you'd like to run a pruned node. This will use about 4.4GB of space on your device instead of the 52GB+ required when running a full node. You'll also be given the opportunity to download the current Dogecoin blockchain from blockchains.download, a service we run, allowing you to get started with Dogecoin even faster. The blockchain can also be downloaded for use with local Dogecoin installs.
