What Feather calls restore height

Feather documentation describes restore height as the blockheight where a wallet starts scanning for transactions. It reduces time and data compared with scanning everything.

Choosing a restore date

If you know when the wallet first received XMR, choose a date before that. If you only know when a hardware wallet or seed was created, add a conservative buffer.
