Crypto Swap Exchange

Quote from: mocacinno on January 30, 2019, 05:29:31 AM

At this moment, your wallet is downloading each block, verifying if the block header's hash is under the target at that moment in time, verifying each transaction in the block, building a merkle tree, updating the UTXO set,... These things take a lot of CPU cycles, disk IO and memory...
Downloading the blockchain over torrent will only cut back on the download time, and since you download at 10 Mb/second, this is not the bottleneck.

Additionally, after you done download blockchain over blockchain, you still need to wait while downloaded blockchain is being verified which means waiting times of both method are similar. If you use HDD, you might need to wait up to few days to verify whole blockchain.

Are you looking to run a full node or just hold a few bitcoins and do some transactions here and there?
You dont need to go through downloading the entire blockchain, you can just use Electrum that doesn't require you to do that. Here is a quick comparison between the two and for the average user, Electrum should be just fine.

https://cryptorival.com/wallets/bitcoincore-vs-electrum/

My guess is that OP is trying to run a full node. If he was trying for a simple wallet then he could use any web wallet easily or any exchange wallet too once he would realize that it's taking too much time to sync the core.

These are my guess by the way.

Fact that he doesn't know why it's taking so long means probably the opposite. OP just wants to transact some btc and doesnt know that bitcore is a full node client.

OP maybe you should try a different wallet, most people would recommend electrum.org , but remember to be safe and not trust any weird messages coming from it. Some of those are not initiated by the software, but by the nodes.

I see there is a torrent file

in the torrent I have a speed of 10MB

download and update my can will help

Have you read Lauda's response? I agree with Lauda, the download speed is probably NOT the bottleneck, and download the blocks via torrent is not a good idear and no longer recommanded.

OP listen here. Don't download from the link provided, it's no longer recommended. Don't fall for fast/speed.

I installed Bitcoin Core 0.17.1 and left to synchronize

https://bitcoin.org/ru/download

three days have passed but the wallet has not been synchronized

synchronization has passed less than half and it is necessary to wait another three years

I think that this simply can not be and I'm doing something wrong

if anyone encountered this problem please help Huh

everything is very simple , most likely you have a weak internet

faced such a problem , her decision was quite simple

1 go to the site and download the blockchain database https://getbitcoinblockchain.com

2 then transfer the blocks folder to disk C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin if you changed the default path then throw in your way

3 run bitcoin core and wait a while

I hope I was useful to you

Successes and prosperity in the crypto space !!!

I shared my experience, which really helped me, two months have passed and everything is fine

Please stop sharing your experience. It is based on false knowledge. Excluding some absurd edge-cases, directly synching from the wallet is always faster and safer.

LOL I meant nodes synchronization/downloading blocks

Tsk tsk.

Do not do this. This is horrible advice and has not been recommended since 0.10/11.

You need to understand that you are downloading a file which is over 200GB.

I'm boldly gonna state that the download speed is not the bottleneck here (well, I'm hoping OP has at least 1MB/s).

You need to understand that you are downloading a file which is over 200GB. You need a high speed net with reasonable download speed. I hope you read this post: https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node

1) Wrong section.
2) Nothing unusual if your system is slow/network is slow.
3) The "three years" is the amount of blockchain age you still have to catch up with; it's not the estimated wait time until sync.
