Sometimes bitcoin core is stopped automatically!  

Bitcoin Core doesn't do that. Your OS might kill it though, when it's out of memory.

waiting for 8hr passed only 2%  

I don't know the actual caused.

If you see any error in the progress report like your name isn't listed correctly, and so on, please let me know so I can fix it.

There might be a few errors as this was compiled on my phone.

@Negotiation, you must include some kind of screenshot or output with your progress. Percentages by themselves are not enough.

My bitcoin core experience has been great,

Your wallet is empty, you've never used it to receive or send funds. How is that a great experience for a wallet?

Day-6
Synchronizing with network

[Elissa~sH]

I couldn't update it because of my load-shedding here for a long time. Today, after solving the problem of load shedding, I turned on the PC and saw a 99.97% download. After waiting for a while, Bitcoin Core is fully downloaded on my PC. Complete 100%

I am very happy that I was able to finish this challenge. At first, I thought I wouldn't be able to finish it, but I finished very well, so it feels good today.

A special thanks to those who have helped me in various ways on this journey. After downloading Bitcoin Core, I didn't know how to enter the wallet name. Later, the DYING_S0UL brother asked how to create a wallet name, and the kuriboh brother showed me how to write the name beautifully. I wrote the name. Thank you, kuriboh brother, for explaining so beautifully. Thank you also, NotATether, for opening it up for me as a newbie and for everyone.

As far as I remember (I rarely use the GUI, my Core runs as daemon in the background all the time) if you hover the mouse over the bottom right-most check mark or spinning arrows icon the block number your Bitcoin Core is at will be displayed in a small popup. Should be possible to capture this with a screenshot as others have done that here already. Anyway, congrats to syncing to the blockchain tip.

My bitcoin core experience progress has been great,

Your wallet is empty, you've never used it to receive or send funds. How is that a great experience for a wallet?

Sorry, I made a typo.  My progress presentation was going well,
I was supposed to write progress but mistakenly wrote experience.
