Title: How to do faster reindex? Post by: kevindurant on August 25, 2015, 02:58:41 PM https://i.imgur.com/kB8kl9b.jpg
When I try to reindex Bitcoin Core it takes at least 3 days. How can I reduce this time? Title: Re: How to do faster reindex?

Lots of RAM and solid-state drive instead of magnetic platters. Title: Re: How to do faster reindex?

Is it only me or anybody else having same problem? Title: Re: How to do faster reindex?

Is it only me or anybody else having same problem? I haven't re-indexed in many months, but I'm surprised to hear that it takes 3 days if you have SSD and 4GB RAM Title: Re: How to do faster reindex?

Is it only me or anybody else having same problem? hi kevindurant. if you want really speed up the blockchain reindex you need a raid0 setup with ssd. i think this is the bottle neck... this upgrade come before RAM and CPU...

Hi, my setup is raid0 SSD already. I think it's about my old-ass CPU (core 2 duo). Yesterday night electricity went off again so I had to reindex it again. Still 2 years 14 weeks left after 2 hours of reindexing. That's very disturbing. Title: Re: How to do faster reindex?

This way, the next time a re-index is triggered, you can just recover your backup instead. Title: Re: How to do faster reindex? Post by: kevindurant on August 28, 2015, 04:30:58 PM I also have Bitcoin Core in my laptop. From what I understand if I copy blockchain data from my laptop to my pc I don't need reindexing. Am I right?
Thanks for your help DannyHamilton. Title: Re: How to do faster reindex? Post by: AmDD on August 28, 2015, 04:35:42 PM I also have Bitcoin Core in my laptop.

Yes, you should be able to simply copy it from another machine. |
