Hi I'm using rinkeby as test node for my mobile app. When I connect to node it need much time for sync mobile client with current head (especially on new accounts). Is there possibility not to download all blocks on mobile?
May be I'm doing wrong, but I can't do such thing as getting balance or making transactions without latest head.
UPD: I'm waiting while client.syncProgress returns not null variable. Then I request balance and get 0 value. But I have eth on the wallet.
You may try instructions from this site on how to run a light node:
A light node synchronizes the blockchain by downloading and verifying only the chain of headers from the genesis block to the current head, without executing any transactions or retrieving any associated state https://www.rinkeby.io/#geth
