stop downloading the blockchain?

Post by aristoteles »

Hi, I'm trying to renew a domain from an alternate computer but it is downloading the blockchain and I can not go to renew because it freezes. How could I avoid when downloading the blockchain to renew? I'm on Windows, thank you!

I don't think it's possible to renew a domain from the GUI without possessing the blockchain. I guess you could try to generate an unsigned transaction on a computer that has the blockchain, and sign it on a computer that doesn't have the blockchain but does have the private key. This would be difficult though, and would probably make you lose your name if you mess it up.
