Could anyone send me a copy of blockchain or tell me where I may be able to find one. I feel that this may save power from my internet and laptop as verification of blocks can be done offline. I already have online accounts with coinbase but am thinking of getting a bitcoin wallet that is more secure.

You will still be need to be online to download the blockchain. And then be online when you start it for it to go through the validation progress. It shouldn't take much power however, if 100w is a lot of money for you, i don't think crypto will work out for you anyways.

If you're just trying to do some transaction then get back offline, get a SPV wallet. Here;

from the thread: "IMPORTANT NOTE: As of Bitcoin Core version 0.10.0 or later, this torrent is slower than a direct download using the bitcoin P2P protocol & client. This torrent is now only maintained for research and development purposes as a secondary option. Please use Bitcoin Core directly to download the blockchain."

i recommend use a light-wallet which dont sync full blockchain (if you don't need full blockchain). light wallets (electrum & co) still are very secure and NOT CENTRALISED like blockchain.info or coinbase..

hee-ho.

blocks verification can't be done offline (cmiiw). I think you may have misunderstood something.

to answer your question. use bitcoin core and let it sync or google bitcoin bootstrap.dat torrent. though I don't know if there's still an up to date version of those.
