The M4 MacBook Pro is not the fastest machine I have, but it's the only one that can sync the blockchain in a few* hours hours without loud fans.
Syncing from the assume utxo snapshot at height 840,000 to the tip took only half an hour. Looking forward to that process becoming more user friendly over time, because it really improves the onboarding experience of a full node. It took me longer to download the torrent from my own slow seed :-)
* = 6.5 hours while doing other stuff, with very large -dbcache
Whatβs the current blockchain size in GB?
And yes, I can look this up, but I want human interaction :)
Please Login to reply.
The blocks take up 652 GB for me. Plus 12 GB for the chainstate (UTXO set).
Damn, it has grown a lot since I last ran a full node (~400GB att)
