Yes.

Just download the blocks and index from another node you have. Would be way way faster.

Not everyone has multiple nodes.

I know pubkey does 😂

Haven’t been there in a few months.

I’m helping to set this up for someone else and don’t have a simple way to do that so we’re just going to let it run.

🫂 patience is inherent in Bitcoin.

It’s a ritual that needs to be experienced by every first-time node runner.

Ya know, I think I agree with this.

NVMe on the PCIe bus.

Recorded in a tile bathroom? How fancy!

Imagine the smell.

I remember there used to be a torrent download

Two days and just about done here 🤙

Is that on an Umbrel Home or DIY?

It’s an Umbrel. Unfortunately been too busy to build our own and have really wanted one for a few years. Super stoked with it and how easy the setups been and stoked to now be part of the network 🙏
