I feel the issue that Synchronizing is more slower than old day, I run it 6hours+ but only 8 week Synchronizing, how to fixed it?

[NotATether]

I feel the issue that Synchronizing is more slower than old day, I run it 6hours+ but only 8 week Synchronizing, how to fixed it?

The more recent blocks from 2017 onwards have way more transactions in them than the beginning of the block chain, so it takes longer to download them and process.

When the node is (near) fully synced then the challenge shall be considered finished for you.

[LoyceV]

I feel the issue that Synchronizing is more slower than old day

You're still only at the beginning. Wait until you reach the Ordinal blocks.

I run it 6hours+

There's your problem, you should run it for 14 days, not 6 hours.

but only 8 week Synchronizing, how to fixed it?

Stop touching it until it's done

this day run time 6 hours+. not  6h in 14days.



still running but Synchronizing very slow 



Can you guide me? how to do faster with customized settings?

[LoyceV]

this day run time 6 hours+. not  6h in 14days.

What happened to the other 18 hours in this day? Your screenshot says it needs 38 more hours. You've been at it for 2 weeks. If you would just leave it alone, it would have been long done.

still running but Synchronizing very slow

No wonder with 501 MB dbcache. Make that 12288 if you have the RAM. Or get the RAM

how to do faster with customized settings?

I'm thinking this will help:

My process is start:

[Adiljutt156]

Can you guide me? how to do faster with customized settings?

According my knowledge and guide you can increase your RAM storage as much as high 8 GB to 16 GB for faster Synchronizing I also gave same problem almost 12 days passed and I have only 41% almost synced this process hope next 10 to 15 days I will completed this challenge
