Is there a way to speed up the blockchain block validation? Even with my CPU and internal SSD being high end: some time before the halfway mark, everything starts slowing down, possibly even waiting a couple months at this rate. There has to be a way right? Like validating all the blocks through another means, and then having Omni Core recognizing that it’s all validated?
Maybe I need to free up more space. It shouldn’t be maxing the cpu. Not sure really. It keeps doing the “not responding” every so often thing, which never happens for the first quarter of block verifying stuff, only the final 3 quarters. I think a week or two might be what I can hope for, which might be the case really, based on what I am seeing in terms of the “4 years and xx number of weeks” counting down and at least making some kind of progress—thankfully compared to the months that I feel like it could otherwise exponentially increase if there is just a continued decrease in speed. I think it has to do with the blockchain transactions becoming much larger as the verification heads toward the present day, obviously with how many people are doing BTC transactions compared to the past.
