I have quite a bit of experience with friends not being able to keep theirs powered without faults, so I like to harp on rpi’s because of that. Glad it’s not afflicting you. Wondering what the difference is though.

I’d be interested to know block validation time vs traditional CPUs too. I’m sure it’s still keeping up fine & maybe needs an extra 200% time to complete, but if that took over 45 seconds I’d be surprised.

Do you know how to look that up? Making a mental note to circle back to that later.

My biggest limiting factor when syncing was storage speed. I started with a USB drive that was really slow (hadn't thought that through at the time), and took almost a month to sync. Then decided to go to a M.2, and I payed attention to speeds advertised. I was able to do a full sync including my electrum sync in about 2 days.

After that, I guess as long as it can validate a block in less than 10 minutes, we're good!

Lol ya that’ll hurt. Flash drives and sd cards are gonna rek so many. Backup habits will be learned through pain with their failure rate too.

I was wondering which proposals will cause validation time to get nutty. So far from what I’ve seen it’s nbd. Just wondering tho.
