If you see any error in the progress report like your name isn't listed correctly, and so on, please let me know so I can fix it.

Not a big deal, but I've noticed a mistake on my behalf, today should be my 13th day, but I've posted the 10th day twice, instead of 10th and 11th, thus, missing one day. I can go ahead and edit the previous posts or I can simply run the node for an extra day. I'm fine either way, waiting for your instructions.

what happenes after 100% sync?

Lol. You can finally use Bitcoin Core when that happens. New incoming payments will show up in a few seconds, and your wallet will show the correct balance.
Create a few backups of your wallet.dat before funding it.

I haven't imported or created or opened my wallet in Bitcoin core. BTW how exactly do i backup my wallet.dat? There is an option in the Bitcoin core (File > Backup wallet), did you meant this? And what happens if I don't backup wallet.dat? I'm new to this, that's why so many questions

.

DAY 13 progress:

Almost 80%, 1 year 20 weeks to go.

Don’t let the your screen sleep at all. Mine is all set to “never”, and no mater how idle my laptop is, it never sleeps until it is completely dead. When you’re doing then you can turn it back off to what you had.

Ok. Let me try this. I did not try this because I was afraid. What if my laptop screen starts having problems due to long screen time? I don't know how long this laptop screen should be ON. Also, the on-screen will consume more energy. That's why I thought why not run it with a screen of mode? But as I said, I find my laptop in sleep mode in the morning. But, I just changed my settings now. I hope it won't cause any problems.

My progress is not too bad compared to many of us. But it's nothing significant. My progress is 83.36% with 1 year and 1 week left.

For me, There is no way of electricity interruption. I have a power backup in my house. I use an IPS and I was home all night but I didn't notice any electricity interruption. Moreover, My Lenovo laptop has two batteries which gives me 5 to 6 hours of backup. The laptop was always plugged in and this is the setting I am using:

Do you see anything wrong in the screenshot?

Hey what happenes after 100% sync?

It will explode, brace for impact... just kidding!

The progress bar will disappear as your node will sit happily at the tip of the blockchain, waiting for broadcasts of new transactions and blocks. If it sees a new block, it will request it for download from its peers, validate it and if it's all good it will add this new block as new tip of the blockchain and silently be a part of the Bitcoin node network. There's a lot going on in the background when your node does its "thing" when fully synced, don't be disappointed that there won't be any fancy firework in the foreground. It's all good and important as it is. You joined the ~~Borg~~, na, Bitcoin hive...

Check other aspects related to Bitcoin Core, such as the available storage space, the internet data package you're using, or if your firewall is blocking Bitcoin Core from accessing the internet (?)

Avoid making changes from the pruning option to the full data blockchain download option, or vice versa. I noticed a warning that it would reset all downloaded blockchain data. See img below for detail...

Re-downloading?! Man that's horrifying! It took me 12 days to reach 72% sync. I know my bandwidth speed sucks.

It would devastate me. Anyway I'm not gonna change any setting now, let it be as it is.

I have said it before. The thing is that, I'm limited by my internet, that's what causing this as far as I understood.

Several hours ago it was 0.50% per hour and now it's 0.03% per hour, lol.

I don't know what happened but the progress per hour decreased. I'm doing other internet related stuff, and everything seems to be working fine but for some reasons the progress looks like it got stuck. Tried restarting the bitcoin core, doesn't help. I guess, I'll have to wait for it to fix everything on it's own.
