CH01::Lightweight clients: direct connection to P2P network not required
SPV verification doesn't require connecting to a full node over the P2P network. Many clients connect to specially designed tranasctions servers (e.g. an Electrum server) which provides them with transactions, SPV proofs, and headers--and provide relay for outgoing transactions. Update text to remove claims about direct P2P connection.

Lightweight client:: ((("lightweight

clients")))((("simplified-payment-verification (SPV)")))A lightweight
|
||||
client, also known as a simplified-payment-verification (SPV) client,
|
||||
connects to Bitcoin full nodes (mentioned previously) for access to the
|
||||
Bitcoin transaction information, but stores the user wallet locally and
|
||||
independently creates, validates, and transmits transactions.
|
||||
Lightweight clients interact directly with the Bitcoin network, without
|
||||
an intermediary.
|
||||
connects to a full node or other remote server for receiving and sending
|
||||
Bitcoin transaction information, but stores the user wallet locally,
|
||||
partially validates the transactions it receives, and independently
|
||||
creates outgoing transactions.
|

|

Third-party API client:: ((("third-party API clients")))A third-party
|
||||
API client is one that interacts with Bitcoin through a third-party
|
||||
system of application programming interfaces (APIs), rather than by
|
||||
connecting to the Bitcoin network directly. The wallet may be stored by
|
||||
the user or by third-party servers, but all transactions go through a

||||
third party.
|

the user or by third-party servers, but the client trusts the remote
|

server to provide it with accurate information and protect its privacy.
