[gentoo-user] OT bitcoind alternative

[Coert]

Hello all,

Sorry for the off-topicness,

I run bitcoind on a rather large VM with my original bitcoin qt wallet.
It is working well, but bitcoin core is very resource hungry.
I am looking for an alternative that I can run without a gui on the VM,
that will also be able to read my wallet.dat
Tried btcd, but it is not compiling,

I basically just need RPC access for payments and balance checking, I do
not need to have the whole blockchain.
That was costing me too much bandwidth anyway.

Do you have any recommendations?

Kind regards,
Coert
