#btc #crypto is there a torrent of the blockchain with a signature, that can be imported?

If not, why TF not?

You can set a block hash to be assumed valid (assumevalid in conf file). It will not verify blocks before that point. This speeds up download significantly. So find a block that you deem valid and add it to the config file.

It avoids costly verification of every transaction in the block. I do this when I start a new node. I find a valid block I've verified on an existing node and run it from there. You may want to find a slightly older block (a day or two?).
