Title: Wallet sync, more connection to nodes, faster sync?
Post by: puremage111 on May 02, 2017, 03:39:00 PM
Recently i started to download lots of windows wallet

Some with small blockchain sync finish fast, some slower, some take days

Lets say if i connect to 3 nodes, and 4 nodes

Does the sync speed makes different?

Thanks

More nodes is generally better but the bottleneck might not be coming from nodes but from your HDD's write speed or internet connection. Or it could just be poor sync optimization of the wallet.

But then again, 3-4 nodes are not much. I prefer to have 8-10.

Not really, but you should use a fast or light wallet instead of full chain for speed.
