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. 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. |

PS; I don't want to spam the challenge thread so I decided to create this thread for my personal question as my curiosity started to go deeper on the technical aspect of running a node. - I notice that blocks are being downloaded while my Bitcoin core wallet is syncing in the form of .dat file which is the same format as my wallet on Electrum. Can anyone explain to me in ELI5 what is this format and how block files differ from my wallet files while they have the same format?
- 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.
- Is it possible to skip certain blocks like blocks around 2009 to 2012 and directly download 2013 onwards when I want to start running a Node since I find it inefficient to download everything from the start while the pruning process removes previously downloaded blocks and continues the sync process using the onwards downloaded blocks without the need of the old block.
- Lastly, What I'm achieving in running a node? Am I helping the blockchain to become more decentralized?
I'm completely a noob but I want to explore this so please be gentle in answering my question. Please always use ELI5 format so that I can grasp your idea. |

What happens when you try to visit the exchange using a VPN service? Have they (Binance) also banned users from the Philippines yet? There's another country the Binance banned from using their platform. If I recall well, it's Nigeria. Apparently, the arrested two of their executives. Imagine!  How about other platforms like Kucoins, coinbase, Bybit. Are they still accessible? Philippines government is too lazy to file a case against Binance that’s why they are just using ISP to block the website which can be easily bypass by VPN. Also Binance still doesn’t ban PH users and I think they don’t have plan to do it until SEC will file a complaint against them or request to ban PH user. So far we can still access Binance even on regular IP without the use of VPN. All other exchange including Binance is still accessible for us. I think only some users is affected by this minor which are those who use Globe network for internet connection. Our SEC is not that scary compared to US Sev or EU regulator. What a ban joke here in PH. |

Welcome to the casino, You have very cool looking casino and has license to operate too which is a good sign that you are looking for a long term business.
I just notice that the url is “Bitz1.io” instead of Bitz.io that is stated on the ANN thread title and your signature. I’m not sure why you use a mirror link instead of the original URL because this will create confusion to user here because we are always cautious about mirror link.
I try to visit Bitz.io website but it automatically redirects to Bitz1.io. Is there any problem to the original URL?
We use a system of mirrors to ensure uninterrupted access to the website from search engines in any country, including those where the original domain is blocked by government authorities. If we don't implement redirection, there will be a situation where visitors, for example from CIS countries, won't be able to access the site and will receive an error. We would prefer to use our beautiful domain Bitz.io ourselves, and it was actually very painful to implement the redirection, but in this case, the site would lose a significant portion of organic traffic. Since our project specializes in simple and convenient gaming with cryptocurrency in familiar fiat currencies, we have to make concessions. Perhaps in the future, we will review our policy and only use Bitz.io. Please enlighten me because I'm confused about this since generally casinos will not allow customers who a residents of a restricted country. Your casino has a license which means you are obligated to don't accept customers from restricted counties. This is the current norm here of online casinos this is my first time seeing a casino that helps users who are from a restricted country to access your casino. Is there no repercussion here in the future in case a user submits KYC while they are from a restricted country? I'm very curious about your work around to the regulation. |

You don’t need to be suspicious because both them is potentially working for @Icopress to launch a contest of various casino that he managing. They are both professional and always securing the prize of every contest that they are launching. Just like what @paid2 suggested, Visit game and rounds section to see tons of successful contest and raffle that both this user hosted. I know that you have trust issue on this casino but the Bitcointalk team that managing their contest know is 100% trusted that will give the prize for all the winners. |

This topic is dedicated only for NBA All Star discussion. All other matters that don’t concern All Star Game should be discussed on general NBA thread that you can found here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1220979.0(Credits to Clutchpoints FB Page) There’s an ongoing discussion about the possible revision again of the NBA All Star format after the disappointing previous NBA All Star results. We all know that the lack of defense on the All Star Game is due to players playing safe to potential injuries since this is just an exhibition game. NBA organizer is speculating about the potential format of American Players vs International player that might bring back again the old spark of real All Star Game since they are representing now the pride of their country. The only problem they are facing now is how to choose the team since the majority of the big men and dominant player on NBA is from international team. But it's also a logistical nightmare for one simple reason: how would you pick the players? It seems simple on the surface. Build the best-possible 12-man rosters you could among American-born players and internationally-born players. This is a lot simpler on-paper than it is in reality for a variety of reasons. Roster makeup is the most readily noticeable. The overwhelming majority of All-Stars born outside of the United States are big men. There are 15 active players born outside of the United States that have made an All-Star Game. Here's how they break down:
Two of them, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Kyrie Irving, are traditionally guard-sized. Irving, however, has played for Team USA in the Olympics, so it is not clear which team he'd actually play for in this scenario.
Three of them, Luka Doncic, Andrew Wiggins and Ben Simmons, are high-usage perimeter players.
The remaining 10 are all most easily described as big men: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Joel Embiid, Rudy Gobert, Al Horford, Nikola Jokic, Lauri Markkanen, Kristaps Porzingis, Domantas Sabonis, Pascal Siakam and Nikola Vucevic.
Obviously, more great international players are coming. The majority of them, headlined by Victor Wembanyama, tend to be big men. These are not all traditional big men, of course. This group represents some of the most versatile players in basketball, and there would be a fun novelty in seeing how these giant lineups interact. If it goes poorly, though, the event would not be sustainable.

The thing is, a crypto currency wallet address is a complex address, meaning, as you notice, the address is like a randomised number and letter, so it's hard to memorise the actual address. That's why it is also prone to sending to the wrong address, as sometimes there's a missing letter or what. That's why it's better to have your wallet address copied and pasted so that when you are doing another transaction, you will just paste your wallet address to avoid this kind of accident, because no matter how you do in the support or customer support, if you provide the wrong address, they can't do anything about it.
You don’t need to memorize your wallet address because you will need to check and verify it on your casino deposit address to make sure that you are still depositing to the right address. Doing manual copy always makes you safe in every transaction. Also it’s useless to memorize your casino wallet address if there’s a chance that it will change just like what the subject of this thread. The OP literally warning us to check manually the wallet address on the casino before we made any deposit. |

This is a nice interview and I hope that you will manage to interview a casino owner that has an ANN thread here in the forum. I want to suggest too if possible to add video interviews aside from the key notes to guarantee that the content you provide is genuinely from the casino owner. If you have this video then I hope you will put it on the top part of the text interview. We have also an AMA thread here in the forum https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5482508.msg63538590#msg63538590 that is hosted by @SirJohnVonSlotty that has a proven working experience on casino operations that is more credible than text interviews without any source that will prove authenticity of the content. |

This is really good for a 35£ monthly subscription if this is really legit tipster with good track record. The problem on this kind of service here is trust because it usually runaway after a couple of months especially if there’s no significant result on your tipster.
If you can offer free tipster for selected forum user that will try you service or ask an escrow to hold the payment until the subscription expires will help you gain trust to your service.
Question: does any of your subscribers encounter an issue of bet limitation after winning too often on some sportsbook?

1. Learning on YouTube and other PDF resources online
2. Attending conferences and watching trading podcast
3. Find a mentor, whether offline or online. You may not be close to this person but always study his trade
4. Practice always and maintain consistency
This suggestion is good but not always applicable for everyone because some people doesn’t have time to attend seminars, doesn’t know what PDD and Youtube guide to watch and doesn’t have mentor to find that will help him for free. The benefits of paid courses was it’s tailored to skip the long premise on trading and focus on lecture that is already tested working by them. You are paying because the lecturer already spent a lot of money and experience just to develop the strategy which you can only get through experience. I’m not encouraging online courses but it’s not bad either to avail one as long as the content is insightful. |

I do not know, I would think that it is too soon to sell when they have not really given the chance to the SHFL token to show its true worth, besides now that the upward trajectory of bitcoin has slowed down and we went through a correction, this seems more like the time to fill your wallets with this token instead, as once bitcoin regains its lost momentum and it begins to go up again, I would think a token like SHFL will also begin to go up in value.
This is the typical reflex of those traders in Ethereum that just want to quick profit right after buying low on the presale. I’ve been doing this method too when I’m buying newly minted token on Ethereum that has a strong community and liquidity. These sellers will buy back again once the price already reach the support level. The price of SHFL token is already stagnant on the 0.2$ to 0.3$ which is a great sign that sell off is already over or weakening. I think it’s best to start purchasing now slowly for those who want to have a piece of this token at this low price. |

It is normal to see many people become addicted to gambling because they often play slot games. That's because slot games offer big prizes that gamblers can get so they keep coming back to play slot games. Pragmatic Play is a slot provider with a bonus purchase feature that can give you a max win. But not everyone succeeds in getting the max win prize because the level of difficulty is unknown and only lucky people can get it.
This legit especially on the Pragmatic provider because all their games are the most popular to play by streamers who often have huge number of viewers. They often showcase huge that makes playing slot games specifically from pragmatic play is always so addictive for all the gamblers that always watching streams from gambler influencers. Gambling is already popular in my country including the mainstream. I’m always watching them playing pragmatic play slot games. Good thing that I can’t play pragmatic games on casino here due to restrictions that’s why I can resist my temptation to play often slot games. |

Talaga, may mga nabasa naman din kasi na pwede naman daw siya talaga, iniisip ko lang kabayan kung pano siya magkakaroon ng laman? sa pamamagitan din ba yan na kung magkano laman ng crypto mo sa crypto exchange, ganun ba yun? Though, hindi rin masasabi na maliit na halaga yung 400$ lang ang minimum dahil malaking amount din ito sa totoo lang.
Sa app mismo ay may separate wallet na dedicated sa card balance mo. Bali kailangan mo mag topup ng balance doon gamit yung crypto holdings mo. Hindi ko lang maalala pero parang CRO token ang need na ilagay sa card balance then yung value ay magiging in SGD currency na pwede mo na ispend online. Ginagamit ko dati ito sa mga online subscription since may rebate kasi sa card kapag nag spend ka. Yun nga lang ay medyo mababa yung exchange rate nila ng mga currency kaya dapat sa Kucoin kna mismo bumili ng CRO bago mo ideposit sa crypto.com wallet app mo para medyo makatipid ka sa fees. Natawa naman ako nasisira sa pants mo dahil nga steel ito. Edi dapat pala nakalagay siya sa wallet natin na hindi natin dapat nilalagay sa ating mga bulsa sa pants natin. Saka kung nababahala ka kabayan, subukan mo mismo sa banko yung sa loob mismo ng banko, para malaman mo talaga, itanung mo sa mga staff nila dun mismo para at least kung hindi man lumabas o kainin sa ATM ay pwede nila itong mailabas agad.
Ahahaha. I mean nasisira yung leather wallet ko kapag naiipit sa pants. Sobrang tigas kasi nung card kaya nasisira yung leather kapag naiipit since hindi flexible kagaya ng mga plastic cards. |

It's definitely rough when a friend hits you up for cash because they blew it all gambling. I've had my own moments of going too far with gambling but luckily
This rough but I commend the courage of OP friend on telling the truth about his gambling problem before he ask financial assistance since he can just lied that he was financially short due to something else instead of telling the truth about gambling since it will be very hard for him to get help if he show sign of addiction which he really have. I've never been completely broke. When I realized I was risking too much, I stopped and kept what I had for important stuff. It's all about knowing when to pull back and take care of yourself. If you ever find yourself in that spot, it's okay to say no to that last bet and prioritize what's really important. And reaching out for support or advice can make a big difference too The typical problem of gambler is knowing when to pullback that’s why there’s a lot of addiction cases since it’s very hard to do that in reality for people that frequently gamble. Probably you are just gambling occasionally which is why you can manage to control yourself before you become addicted but this not the case to the others. |
