Bitcoin core syncs very slowly when it reaches 15% progress while Bitcoind performs at a usual speed.
There is no problem and syncing becoming slower is completely normal. As you know, your node verifies the validity of each block it downloads and the transactions in it. Currently, your node is synced up to 2016 (according to the screenshot you posted) and prior to that date bitcoin wasn't so popular so blocks back then we're either empty or had few transactions on them therefore verifying their validity (syncing) doesn't take too long. I have a follow-up question to this, why did blocks during 2016 give me a slower sync while Bitcoin transactions during 2017 onwards were much higher due to the demand? I sync faster now after I finished syncing blocks in 2016. I'm already at 85% progress compared to when I posted this which is just 15% sync stuck for a long period. I'm curious what's with 2016 blocks that cause slow sync? |

many people believe that gambling is a place for them to get money quickly, even though it is not a place to make money like you said. because the possibility of people losing on a gambling platform is greater than their winnings, therefore gambling is actually done just for fun, not for anything serious that makes it a job that can make money every day.
There's partial truth to that statement because gambling offers a chance for a quick way to earn a profit. After all, you will just need to place a bet and hope for it to win which gives a quick profit if the result is in your favour. I mention it as partially true because you can make a quick profit or quick loss depending on the result. Although gambling games mostly have casino advantages, there are still some users who are successful in making a profit by gambling but as many already said, It's very hard to make a consistent profit in gambling. |

I'm always wondering how an addiction starts for everyone because I'm sure that we have different experiences with gambling that will contribute to an addiction. Frequently gambling is one of the most common reasons why a player gets addicted. So I'm thinking before you become involved in frequent gambling behaviour what is the sign that you notice that you are doing when you gamble?
Mine is I always check my wallet balance to check my current profit then place a small bet without any reason just to gamble and increase my profit. This makes me gamble frequently because of the greediness to earn more until I become hooked and worst is when I lose everything on a bad day.

Unlike the first 2 days, I encountered many issues about slow sync but now I think I'm progressing quickly. I hope to finish the sync process within 14 14-day period. I will encourage my fellow local board members to do this challenge. @NotAtether can I do a translated version of this thread?

Please let me know how to upload photographs in a new topic as I'm new here. I tried, but I was unable to grasp it. Please, I need your assistance.
There’s a lot of guide on how to upload image in the forum if you will use the search function method. Here’s one of the guide on how to let you upload image here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5297889.0. I use this specific topic because it’s the only tutorial that still has an image existing since most of the tutorials use imgur image hosting before. You can use talkimg.com too and just repeat the process of copy paste. Follow @lovesmayfamilis suggestion if you have a too large image or if you are uploading image for ANN thread purposes which is too huge then you should split it on several parts then upload it in right order. |

Sa tingin ko pera-pera pa din ang ating mga opisyales. Kasi kahit banned si Binance ay binigyan naman nila ng license ang iilang kompanya gaya ng Coins, Gcash at Paymaya. Ang mahal nga lang ng mga ito at malayo serbisyo nila sa mga global exchanges tulad ng Binance. Mahal siguro dahil ang dami nila binibigyan na opisyales.
Nakakagulat rin dahil pati kompanya na alanganin ay nagkaroon pa talaga ng lisensiya habang si Binance na noon pa gusto magkaroon ay hindi talaga binigyan ng chance.
Pag meron ba CBDC ay same pa din ang target sa pag generate ng php or madagdagan?
Unfair kasi talaga sa mga local exchange natin na may license tapos nagbabayad ng tax sa government natin while yung mga international exchange kagaya ng Binance ay ang pinaka nakikinabang sa pera ng PH users tapos no license at tax. Ayos din itong regulation para maging fair sa mga local business natin pero sana talaga mag step up naman itong mga local exchange natin para magprovide ng high liquidity sa orderbook dahil napaka baba ng volume sa mga exchange natin while sobrang taas ng price spread kya sobrang nakakatamad gamitin compared sa Binance at iba pang international exchange na sobrang taas ng volume at liquidity. Kung susuporta lang talaga ang lahat ng PH user sa sariling exchange ay kakayanin din natin na magkaroon ng matinong exchange na masasabi natin sariling atin talaga. Takot kasi mga banking natin na pumasok sa crypto exchange business kaya sobrang tagtuyot ng liquidity sa mga local crypto exchange natin dahil walang namumuhunan. |

Good tutorial, pero this is good to note na tracked pa rin ng ISP ang browser's activity mo or mga accessed websites ike sa pag access ng Binance kahit mag change dns ka pa. So the consequences are still there na pwede kang makasuhan or jail time if ever na strikto ang SEC at authorities dito sa mga lalabag sa pag access ng blocked website. Ang pros lang ng changing ng dns ay kayang ma access ang site, while using vpn naman ay masked talaga ang browser activity ng ISP pero medjo tagilid sa pag access ng binance.
Kaya take care na lang sa mga susubok, i'm kucoin here btw.
Interesting disclaimer about this method. Yeah my basis ka about possible legal action if ever mag mapping ang SEC ng mga law breaker. Much better talaga kung lilipat nalang sa alternative exchange na hindi pa affected ng ban since madami pa naman option. Hindi ko na ginagawa itong trick na ito dahil baka makalimutan ko na nka setup while naglalaro sa casino ng mga games na may restrictions para sa akin since hindi kasi noticeable itong DNS change compared sa VPN na may active icon. Siguro dapat ilagat itong disclaimer para alam lahat ng gagamit ang potential danger ng pagpilit na gumamit ng ban apps. |

Online poker is full of thrash players doing a lot shit decision making because they are hiding from their computer. I’m not professional poker but I preferred playing on actual table compared online because you can guarantee that you play against real players and no thrash players that always doing all-in frequently just to bluff.
You will never experience a good poker game online unless you are in a table with players that you play before. Many online poker table has an issue of collusion which I really hate because it’s very hard to verify it online especially if the casino itself is the one who plant this players.

This is not even directly related to casinos, cause the plaza was offering a lot more services which were the main focus at the time, the casino was not fully operational at any point in time.
There are also too many legal cases and switch in ownership that I cannot find the moral of the story anymore or how it relates to the house not winning all the time.
- Jay -
As I understand the real intention of OP. He is questioning the saying "the house always wins" due to this Trump Plaza was previously a casino that shut down and took over so he is questioning if the house always wins then why the previous casino shut down and why did the new owner doesn't bother to save the casino instead it rebuilt for another purpose. House always win. There’s no way a house can lose on games that designed with house advantage plus human error distribution on players side. Casino can hit a severe bankruptcy if there’s no much player entering in the casino due to competition while their fixed expenses on running a casino is greater to their profit.
They are paying taxes and other fees too which is why operating a physical casino is very expensive and risky if there’s a lot of competitors in the area.
The rise of online casino might be another reason on why some physical casino decreases customers.
Yes, No doubt about this, Casinos always win against players but casinos real opponent in their business is their operational cost which is too costly while their income is decreasing due to few players. |

All affiliate programs work the same, in this case you have to sell a service or product through a unique link, then you will get a fixed amount of commission from there. when you get a new user to open an account at the casino site using your affiliate link and when that person deposits money into their account, you will be rewarded with cash, spins or free bets as per the site's affiliate rules. So if you want to enjoy rewards through a casino site's affiliate program, you must read the rules carefully for details about that site's affiliate program.
This is new to me that casino rewards freebet and freespin on affiliate rewards because it usually a percentage of the players total wager made in the casino. I’ve done an affiliate program before but it’s useless to just invite someone to play and deposit if he will not play frequently because the commission percentage is based on the total money players played in the casino. Some casino also decreases the affiliate percentage if you already gain a lot from your long term affiliate even though it’s not written on the ToS. This is the tricky part of the casino ToS they have the right to revise everything written on it without a notice. |

Hi community,
We always hear about a gambler who has been harassed, expelled, or banned from a casino for a number of justified or unjustified reasons. There are those who have been banned for violating the laws or internal regulations of the casino, or for suspicious actions that negatively affect the course of play, or chaos inside the casino, or for other unknown reasons.
Have you been in this situation before?
It's a pleasure to hear your story.
You will see a lot of this cases in the scam accusation board but obviously the reason is due to breach of the casino ToS. I doubt someone here experienced this because online casino usually very friendly if you are following the ToS. The harshest restrictions which the casino can impose to you is limiting your bet size or excluding you to the promotion if you don’t do anything wrong aside from taking advantage to their promotion to make you gain or you simply just keep winning. It’s very rare for online casino to harass someone without doing any negative things. I never been kick out on the casino but I experienced of not able to access my casino account due to impossible KYC they are trying to require me. You can read my previous case here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5464907.msg62763246#msg62763246 |

I'm not sure what happened to the forum yesterday but it loads so slowly that is the reason I can't submit my report. My sync progressed a lot since then.

Is there a way to speed this up a little bit using the remaining unused RAM and CPU?
You should be able to increase your cache size and speed up the verification process. Set the dbcache in your bitcoin.conf file to 8 GB (since you have 16 GB memory, I believe half is good). How can I know if the "dbcache=8000" setup is already working? The Bitcoind windows process too much data quickly which makes it hard to read the initial summary when I open it. why this code doesn't have "#" in the beginning compared to other commands listed on my bitcoin.conf. Lastly, what's the difference between Bitcoin.conf file located on the file path in which I installed my Bitcoin core and Bitcoin.conf that I created on C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin path when I input the pruned command? Thanks for your guidance sir. |

There is no problem and syncing becoming slower is completely normal. As you know, your node verifies the validity of each block it downloads and the transactions in it. Currently, your node is synced up to 2016 (according to the screenshot you posted) and prior to that date bitcoin wasn't so popular so blocks back then we're either empty or had few transactions on them therefore verifying their validity (syncing) doesn't take too long. Gotcha. This makes sense a lot. Thank you, I'm just a little bit carried away by how fast it was synced on the first day it almost completed 15% so I thought that it would be inconsistent speed. So this means that the 2016 onwards block content is much heavier in file size due to the volume of transactions. Is there a way to speed this up a little bit using the remaining unused RAM and CPU? Follow-up question, What is the data shown by the Bitcoind window? Is it related to the syncing process on Bitcoin core because my Bitcoin core is progressing even though Bitcoind is closed? |

I appreciate all the replies and learnings to this uncharted territory for me. @NotATether I will use this thread to inquire about my problem with your running a node challenge. Bitcoin core syncs very slowly when it reaches 15% progress while Bitcoind performs at a usual speed. I'm not sure what is the problem because my RAM and CPU usage were still the same when I started this challenge including the storage on the hard disk since I used the prune command that you suggested on the challenge thread. the screenshot below is my current stats   it doesn't have any good progress even though I left it overnight running. |

We are not being realistic if we think that Tyson could beat Jake Paul. He may even be gas out after 3 rounds as Jake Paul is in full condition in the fight and him being young will have better stamina that Mike. I see that everyone has love for Mike Tyson and we never forget that he is a legend, but that over a decade already, a lot has change, Jake now is the new face of exhibition fights and he'll surely dominate the old Mike, (no disrespect).
Sharing Tyson recent video showcasing that he still got the move to boxing https://twitter.com/MikeTyson/status/1768828254428033058?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etwee. I understand that you guys are just considering the age of Tyson that's why he might gas out early which I agree but anything can happened on boxing that means Tyson can end the match quickly if Jake will off-guard due to his confidence. I have my support for Jake but definitely, I'm underestimating Tyson since he is active on his regular workout and knows how to counter any opponent just like what he did when he coached Ngannou who almost defeated Gypsy King who is the top in his division. I'm still not removing the possibility of an upset match because I believe that Tyson can still unleash a deadly punch that can stop young Jake. |

Currently at 15% progress of synchronizing with network. I also restart my previous progress after 2 hours of my submission due to my mistake in exploring the files. I will use this time to report my progress from now on since my Day 1 submission date is a dawn time in my country that i can't maintain for 14 days.

- If I have the record of all the block files, why is the syncing process still manually reading all my current blocks which is the same speed as when I downloaded them manually? I did an experiment about this in which I saved all my downloaded blocks and uninstalled my Bitcoin core then I manually put the block file in the directory folder when I reinstalled the new app.
I'm not fully understand your question, but you need to copy whole folder (which also contain other stuff such as "chainstate" folder) rather than only block files. I back up that too including all the files on the file directory for Bitcoin core. I manually pasted all the files that I previously downloaded to the new file directory of Bitcoin Core after I reinstalled the apps. Still, the synchronization of "headers(not sure of the exact word)" is so slow that it almost didn't progress anymore so I just forgot my previous progress and started fresh again. |
