Title: Does your Bitcoin-Qt v0.8.2 takes 5 mins to verifying block database integrity? Post by: lewisg on June 03, 2013, 10:08:53 AM My Bitcoin-Qt takes 5 mins to verifying block database integrity.

However, if you find it annoying, you can do this dangerous tweak: "checklevel=1" in bitcoin.conf Title: Re: Does your Bitcoin-Qt v0.8.2 takes 5 mins to verifying block database integrity? Post by: Dabs on June 04, 2013, 01:36:47 AM Even faster, but possibly more dangerous tweak
Code: checkblocks=1 Someone tell me what the checklevels stand for? from 0 to 4? And does it affect the running bitcoin-qt client or only upon start up? Because if I had my client running yesterday, then I launch it for today, and it checks the previous blocks without downloading new blocks, what's the harm? New blocks will get verified and checked as they arrive, don't they? Or does this checklevel affect new blocks too? If it does, then that could be dangerous since new blocks might be fake. But if it doesn't, I save time. I know, that my blocks from yesterday are all good. More or less. Title: Re: Does your Bitcoin-Qt v0.8.2 takes 5 mins to verifying block database integrity?
