at first i saw that during sync there were thousands of orphan blocks. why? who broadcasts them still?
bump
anyone?
i'd really like to know why so much old and orphaned blocks are still distributed. i dont see any reason for this.
or did i just misread my log?
when you're downloading the entire blockchain, that includes orphaned blocks
there also used to be a bug where it'd spit out some godawful amount of orphan blocks when you were DLing from several different sources. i think that was fixed, not sure
