Start9 question:

The syncing of bitcoin core seemed to run pretty fast up until around 75%. Now it’s extremely slow. Like 3 % in 24h slow. Sometimes it even times out and tries to reconnect.

Logs are not containing any problems. They only show new blocks one after another. But at a very slow pace.

Setup:

- intel core2duo p8700

- 8gb of ddr3 ram 1333mhz

- 2tb ssd

The blocks it seems to struggle with are from 2023. I wonder if that might have to do with ordinals being introduced and bigger blocks?

Oh boy, thought i was blessed with high sync speed πŸ˜… but now it might take weeks

Patience 🏞️

great that you start a node. for me is also took more than 2 weeks to sync the first time...

Strange, mine synced in just under 24 hours. I was shocked.

Do you run startOS? Is there a way to pause the syncing, perform a restart of the machine and resume syncing from where you left?

StartOS on server pure, my pi/umbrel took days. Im not sure about stopping and resuming sync.
