Starting around 1.5 to 2 years ago, blocks started getting fuller and fuller. This means that they are larger and contain more transactions. So downloading those blocks takes a little longer, and verifying them takes longer too as there is more data to verify. This slows down syncing.
Also confused as to why my block chain corrupts every three weeks, four days, six hours, seven minutes exactly regardless of what drive it's on or computer system it's on between three different platforms.
This is usually indicative of a hardware issue. The blockchain should not corrupt at all during the sync unless there is some underlying problem that is causing corruption. This can be related to hard drive issues, memory issues, or an Antivirus that is deleting part of the blockchain.
Thank you, that clears it up nicely, Is there anything local network wise about speeding it up other than giving my computer the entire "pipe" of my home network? I'll catch flak from the attachments, but I'm the technomage around here haha.
I originally assumed it was hardware as well, given the linearity of the corruption. My first step was to move the block chain from One SSD to another, then to externals, then from one machine to another, then to a server. I've even moved it between Linux, MacOS and Windows. in some cases with no AV.
Do you think it could be my triple layer encryption?
