Long chain bro

Can you just copy the datadir from an existing synced node? Would be a lot faster. Hours instead of days.

Could be worse. My node is an old celeron laptop with hdd. I'm at 35% synced after two weeks 🙁

more drives for more power!

Siiigffhhhh… I like it. Sounds just right. Will be using it in the future, as an add on.

Uffa, puffa, ciuffa, buffa siiiiigfhhh

If is just a LN node, why not just use neutrino from one of your other node?

- no need to sync

- private

- faster

- less space needed

- just install LND

4TB mSATA drives are going for just over $200 now. You can get away with 2TB even. If you install them locally, ordering them, waiting for ground shipping and starting the sync over would be faster than your current setup.

Have you tried whispering to it?

That 8 days seems a short estimate. Why HDD?
