Congratulations to oktana for completing the challenge! It took a longer for you, but it was worth it in the end.

Thank you! Yes, it was definitely a long run but it was worth it. At least I learnt to do the one thing I would say that I should have known from the onset. I don’t know if there are more fun things to do now that it’s fully downloaded and synced but I’ll check to see. Maybe looking up an address or a transaction? Let’s see.

How come your username shows beside Bitcoin core? I also saw other users having the same thing. I mean how did you guys do it? I didn't have my name written beside the Bitcoin core. Is there additional option/setting for this? Haven't noticed anything like that.

900GB free my HDD drive, 150GB SSD drive space is free now, storage is not the problem.
thanks.

It's recommend to use SSD for downloading and verifying the Bitcoin blockchain. Using HDD will be slower compared to SSD. Another thing, if you download the whole blockchain without pruning, it'll take up to +544 GB of storage, remember that. But if use pruning option. For example, lets imagine you have set it at 50GB, so after it downloads 50GB it will start to remove/erase/discard older blockchain data and add newer blockchain data. As the download progresses, maintaining 50GB, saving storage (If I'm correct).

I'm still seeing everything normally because, since I'm using the DEFAULT setting, hopefully there won't be any problems normally. SSD is selected for download and use, my internet package is a 35Mbps gaming package. also, the CPU is on BIOS best mode 3.90 GHz. but when "Run A Bitcoin Node" 14% CPU is used. Didn't realize any kind of problem till now.

That's similar to my setup. If you save the full blocks directory on HDD, your download gets much faster if you symlink your chainstate directory to your SSD.

You can just leave it on DEFAULT setting. Make sure you are running the node on mainnet. If you are limited by storage you can change the pruning settings. By default it's set at 2GB. If you have lot of storage you may increase it by 10,50,100GB, as you want. For me, I had only 70GB free storage, so I kept it default. Wink

Yes, just keep posting pictures of your node like this every day until two weeks pass.

If my node synced 100% before 14 days then it will be acceptable or not?

because I see many users node completed in less then 14 days that's why I ask this question

You have to run it for 14 days and must have 100% sync in order to complete this challenge. It doesn't matter if you can get 100% sync within 1 or 2 days. You have to run it for 14 days no matter what. This is the first condition. The second condition is 100% sync. It doesn't matter if it takes 20,30,40 days to sync. You must fulfill the minimum 99% sync (close to verifying the full blockchain).

I have a question with you @NotATether

Sir, I want to take part in your challenge, but I can't provide a screenshot of the progress from the first time or when I first started it, but I have proof, I posted it on my local forum by providing a screenshot of the progress of around 37.82% on January 19, 2024 at 07 :31:19.

Before posting it on my local thread with progress of 37.82% it took me 3 days, meaning I started progress starting on January 16 2024, and I completed 100% perfect progress on January 25 2024 at 05:07:06. That means in total it took me 9 days for everything to be perfect.

this is my local thread
disini

Please guide me, sir, what steps should I take to be able to take part in this challenge?

The challenge runes for 14 days, therefore when you enter this challenge your count will start from day 1.

Just like for the rest of the participants.
