Fast sync would do basic validation such as are the blocks actually connected to each other

| Jan 11, 2017 at 15:42 | comment | added | hhh | @MikkoOhtamaa in fast you get the latests state, transaction and receipt tries. But you "lose" old history due to the fact that your node did not perform the validations (i.e. running those transactions to have that information available). For example, you will know your account A has E ether, but if it was due to an old tx, you won't know why you have those ethers. | |

| Jan 11, 2017 at 9:45 | comment | added | Mikko Ohtamaa | This is little bit related question - I hope your expertise can clear my misunderstand here. I want to build a map of transactions between Ethereum accounts to build a wallet. Does "fast" leave something information out or is the resulting chain data the same as with full sync? | |
