[CHALLENGE] Run A Bitcoin Node: 14 Days To 14 Merits

[Essential10]

@NotATEther Finally I'm on day 33th and progressing to 99% synced complete. I was progressing well in the first 10 days of the bitcoin node challenge but suddenly from the 11th day my computer started working very slowly. Even then I didn't give up on this challenge, it took more than a month to reach the final stage of the bitcoin node.

Please do not quote this post when you type your status reports. It makes compiling this list slightly harder.

Congratulations to bcfr, juttsab@ and Essential10 for completing the challenge!

NotATether, My internet speed is so slow and device damaged. It will be difficult to complete on time so I want to start fresh after a few days. Awaiting your approval.

No issues.

Think I've completed the challenge. Or the task was to keep running fully synced node for 14 days?
@OP please confirm.

It is complete, since your node was running for 14 days. and has been synced.

Day 2

[Out of mind]

@NotATether I am very happy to participate in your contest and complete the challenge I took today. Finally I completed my bitcoin core 100% in 18 days and I succeeded in your challenge.

I'm not sure if I've done it correctly or what but simply following the procedure on the OP gives me the code below which I'm not sure is correct.

Running a node is fun for a non-coding skill background like me.

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.
