Title: Initializing bitcoin engine taking 2 days, is that normal? Post by: someonesomeone on July 01, 2016, 12:00:10 PM Hi all,
I am setting up Armory on a VPS and it says that it will take 2 days just initialize the bitcoin engine... Is that normal? Is there a way to speed this up? I have armory version 0.93.3. I installed bitcoin core but I didn't run it because the Armory tutorial says that you should run Armory and let it set everything up... So is this normal or should this go faster? Thanks Title: Re: Initializing bitcoin engine taking 2 days, is that normal?

Title: Re: Initializing bitcoin engine taking 2 days, is that normal? Post by: mocacinno on July 01, 2016, 12:09:21 PM I suppose it's because armory needs to sync the blockchain... Altough Carlton Banks has a good point: if you're doing a fresh install, why not use the latest version?
https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinBeginners/comments/365wjm/how_long_should_it_take_to_sync_up_armory/ A year ago, some people reported syncing durations of a couple of days to a full week. Since then, the blockchain has grown significantly, and the new version of bitcoin core is supposedly only a little bit faster. In the end it's a combination of your internet speed, processor power, disk speed and memory... It can take hours to days... Impossible to predict Title: Re: Initializing bitcoin engine taking 2 days, is that normal? Post by: someonesomeone on July 01, 2016, 12:16:27 PM Thanks!

Impossible to predict I downloaded the latest version from the Bitcoin Armory website... So there are more version after that one? What is the difference between the new version and the one I am installing now? Thanks!
