ALMOST THERE

Let's hope I don't screw up for the third time

The last 15% always the slowest 😬

That's true! I suppose that more transactions inside a block make the sync process slower

I recommend using sparrow to work with your node once it is setup. Best wallet in my opinion.

🫂AYYE LETS GOO, it’ll gets exciting when it starts saying validating blocks from a few weeks ago

super excited 😃

How long did it take? mine is at 27% and I started 8 days ago!

More than two weeks rsrsrs

It gets way slower after ~25% for me.

One thing that helped a little bit was to reserve more memory for the node. But still takes a long time :/

I never thought it would take so long termpo 😆 What is your cache size?

forget the "termpo" 😆

3GB

I'm running on a Raspberry Pi that has 4GB in total. 3GB for the bitcoin node, and 1GB for the Pi-hole seems to work fine!

I might come to you when I start my build have any good places to buy the hardware

I'm not sure if raspberry pi is a good idea at the moment :/

They are really expensive for the past months!

I had mine for a long time, but if had to buy something, I think I'd look for an used PC/Notebook. It'll end up cheaper

#[4] told me Dell Optiplex was a good idea! Do you know if I change the cache size while the node is synchronizing is there a problem?

I did it more than once. Didn’t had any problems!

Thank you!
