### Pruning
166+
167+
You can use bwt with pruning, but:
168+
169+
1. You will have to provide a rescan date that is within the range of non-pruned blocks, or use `none` to disable rescanning entirely (see [here](#rescan-policy--wallet-birthday)).
170+
171+
2. Electrum needs to be run with `--skipmerklecheck` to tolerate missing SPV proofs for transactions in pruned blocks.

By default, bwt will query bitcoind for new blocks/transactions every 5 seconds.
