NOSTR gets a little boring because everyone is always just agreeing with each other.
GFYs the lot of you. Fight me, bitch. I spit on your mum's private key!
Did I happen to mention, LET'S FUCKING GO!!
Or run a second node
Some people asking why not just copy the data across from your node.
Well, what if you can't stop your node? For example if you run a lightning node, and/or use your node for a store?
You really need a spare node doing nothing at all for copying.
Only if you have a node you can stop
Here's a mind-blowing gem of a little #bitcoin "hack" for node runners...
To massively speed up the time of initial block download, if you already have validated the blockchain, say if you're going to sync up a second node, then there really is no need to re-validate every bloody transaction on the Bitcoin blockchain.
You can take your other node, because you trust it, get the most recent block, copy its hash, and tell your new node that this block is valid, no need to check every tx that comes before it.
This way, your new node will download all the blocks, it will still check that all the hashes match up, but it doesn't need to check if the transactions are not double spends or other things like that (because your node has already done that, and hashed the most recent block).
Method...
1. Stop your new node from syncing for the minute.
2. Get the hash of the latest block from your node; in terminal type:
bitcoin-cli getblockchain info, and you'll see a string for "best hash".
3. Open bitcoin.conf file for the new node and add the line ...
assumevalid=00000000000000000003aab3294 (etc)
That's the hash after the equals sign.
Then restart Bitcoin Core and enjoy the benefits.
Full disclosure - I haven't taken any measurements about how much faster this is, I'm trying it for the first time now.
More possibilities...
If you're setting up a node for someone, obviously they're trusting you, so you could given them the hash from your node; but it's only useful if they want to save time.

My TA (Testicular Analysis) suggests another move up.
Get you #Bitcoinβ―off exchanges, and get your government tokens out of banks!

Will make a guide. Bookmark, homepage, and subscribe (free) to my website, you'll get notifications. I will then spam the fcku out of your email with ads for penis enlargement meds.
A long ass thread about #bitcoin key derivation - sorry, it's a Twitter link.
Hot tip: Don't be dumb
Dumb Fuckers are gonna dumb fucker.
Focus on the signal.
Happy morning with #cornstr
As you can see my kitty still doesn't understand what we are talking about π π½
