Hi @NotATether! I have a question with you
In three days progress, it will proceed only 8% almost and I login my device almost 10 to 12 hours for fas completing this progress but I think it will not completed in 14 days according to current percentage how can I speed up this progress any suggestion?

Day 3:

I've downloaded Bitcoin Core. Sorry I didn't screenshot the progress. Can I start today? And are there any mistakes I need to fix in this challenge?

From my own experience what makes this process faster:

• Good internet connection
• Storage type being used i.e SSD>HDD
• Decent amount of ram, and anything above 8gb ram should work well
• Run it in pruned mode
• Run it 24/7 to make up for any lost time

Day 3:

You don't need to use your phone camera for this task mate...

could you try using a screenshot software for a cleaner and clearer picture and capture the full window of the Bitcoin node, btw snipping tool is free on Windows..good luck

I can’t guarantee that this will help but give a try and give a feedback if it does. From what I’m seeing, your progress increase per hour is low (which was the same case for me). Try restarting Bitcoin core. If that doesn’t make any difference to the progress increase per hour, then restart your internet. It was mostly between these two for me. It could also be your CPU… check your CPU usage? Check if there’s another app dragging the CPU with Bitcoin core.

Day 6:

• Run it 24/7 to make up for any lost time

I think I am facing some problems because when I minimize it so then it stops working. when I checked the taskbar then saw the running...
