its been a while since i started syincing my btc full node.
according to many online forums and Jamson Loop tweets it should take a couple days for a full node to fully sync. with my cnfiguration its been two weeks
24/7 and i'm still 3 weeks behind.
3 weeks behind, you are almost done !
i put my Dbcache to 2000mb and my internet connection its over 15mb/s so why its so slow? what else can i do? i'm worried that the problem its my low speed hard disk that is a normal 1TB maxtor not an ssd. but i'm not sure of it!
It took about 3 weeks for me to sync the chain, I don't think you need a SSD.
i guess that i will have to move that "blockchain" folder in the /home/.bitcoin/bitcoin folder can you confirm?
There is no blockchain folder. There are "blocks" "chainstate" and "database". The folder is just "/home/.bitcoin".
1 turn off the node
2 migrate the pruned chain on the right folder of the new hardware
3 open the config file and set prune= my actual setup plus migrate the wallet.dat file
4 run bitcoind.
can you confirm my plan?
To which number of blocks did you set prune ? It mights take a long to copy, you should verify all the chain again, and since there is only 3 weeks left to sync you should just wait.
