85 days to sync blocks, can I speed this up... - Bitcoin-Core node on Raspberry Pi 4 Docker container
I have built a docker container on a Raspberry Pi 4 to run a Bitcoin-Core node. It has been syncing for two days. I sent some logs to AI and asked for an estimation on time to completion. 85 days was the response. I have optimised the config: # Performance Optimisations dbcache=1024 # Use 1GB of RAM for block validation cache par=2 # Use 2 threads for script verification blocksonly=1 # Focus on blocks, skip transaction relaying maxconnections=12 # Connect to 12 peers for faster block downloads maxmempool=50 # Limit mempool to 50MB to save memory I have put some copper heatsinks on the Raspberry Pi with a PoE HAT and fan on top. CPU temps are sitting in the 50 degree celsius, so I believe it doing it's best... I'm considering putting the container on another machine with a bigger CPU to sync the blocks then migrate back to the Raspberry Pi. Are there any other ideas I could speed this up? submitted by /u/bonesf [link] [comments]
