This wallet offers sampling security for your Bitcoins. Apart from being a member of the decentralized community as a full node, you also benefit from the swaraj on offer. The only downside is the time taken particularly to download the copy of the blockchain and the interface. Something needs to be done about it as it can be obstructive for newbies eager to join and distribute the network further. Safe that, you chose what you want to pay and third parties are dispelled.

Bitcoin Core version 0.18.0 is now available!
This is a new major version release, including new features, various bug fixes and performance improvements, as well as updated translations.
Newly encrypted wallets will no longer require restarting the software. Instead such wallets will be completely unloaded and reloaded to achieve the same effect.
A sub-project of Bitcoin Core now provides Hardware Wallet Interaction (HWI) scripts that allow command-line users to use several popular hardware key management devices with Bitcoin Core.
This release changes the Random Number Generator (RNG) used from OpenSSL to Bitcoin Core’s own implementation, although entropy gathered by Bitcoin Core is fed out to OpenSSL and then read back in when the program needs strong randomness.
