Title: bitcoin core, 2 systems. Post by: soy on July 13, 2015, 09:11:16 PM I have Bitcoin Core on two systems. One is synchronized the other still a few weeks behind. I know I can copy the blockchain from one to a properly configured external drive then load the blockchain to the newer system using the command line switches. But, can I add the complete system as a peer to the incomplete system? It's only a few weeks behind but getting data slowly. It will probably be complete by tomorrow morning regardless but just wondering.

You can start up the incomplete one with the flagCode: -addnode=<your other system's ip> Title: Re: bitcoin core, 2 systems.

Isn't that a node function? Title: Re: bitcoin core, 2 systems. Post by: achow101 on July 13, 2015, 11:42:45 PM I have Bitcoin Core on two systems.

Post by: soy on July 16, 2015, 06:18:23 PM Both nodes on 192.168.1.0 and both have the other added, the one which is behind by only 50 blocks has 7 peers ping time n/a and the one node, my other system with a complete blockchain at 285ms. The node with the completed blockchain lists 9 connections, all showing a ping time. The nodes showing n/a in ping time aren't listed on the complete blockchain node. Perhaps I should add those nodes to the incomplete node.
