This guy Eric Voskuil is writing correct things, but he misses the only available solution that is BIP-300.

I can't find this tweet. How did he do this? I don't believe that he did it. Did he? Using what software?

He's using Libbitcoin, it's an alt-implementation maintained since 2011.

I haven't personally verified the performance, but the devs regularly share perf. results on the slack

Hmm that doesn't seem right. Must be some bug or setup issue causing it to use disk instead of RAM for syncing.

Also Eric's figures are with 32x2 cores, 256gb ram, and 1gb connection
