Quick question tho: I dont know if its bugged or... I've not been getting any sats since a week (not even the daily 1sat/min). I withdrew a couple of days ago and since then I cant earn anymore. Can anyone look into this?

Ah i see, thanks!

yep, i think that's the "biggest" problem here.

True, forgot about the file formats. I m guessing, trying to format every file from a EXT4 to a NTFS would take me as long/ if not longer than just downloading/ validating the blockchain on to a new SSD.

But hold on why should I point to my windows node when the new node is ready synced? is this for backup reasons?

I m new to linux so bare with me.. so you are saying if I copy the bitcoin data folder from the hard drive of my windows node to my RPI OS would that ease the process?

This is fire.

atleast there is a "p" in between and not a "n" lol

Yes, I m getting there too :)

The only thing that matters in the future.

Well I use a extender but yes its connected through ethernet. Wifi would only get me about 100MB/s

Hope I can get some more out of that, will look into it.

Ofc will do. I get that about the politicians but the people here really are more in power. If the whole EU would start with it then the swiss would be in pressure.

I m guessing the main thing to upgrade here would be the CPU because the SSD is a brand new one. I m running it on a i5 6500 but you are right the bigger the blockchain/blocksize gets the longer it would take you to validate all of it.

Okey, good if thats normal.. but does that even make a big difference? It would still have to validate the blocks right?

I m going to keep it running as it is for now, it will be done eventually... I was just a little worried about the heat the SSD is generating plus the "freezes" on some blocks.

Thanks for the responds.

yea, true I m aware of the increase in blocksize the further I m into the download/validation. For now I cool some aluminum piece and basically sandwich the SSD with it so the heat can at least be conducted by it but I might add a fan aswell, thanks for the idea.

I m running it on Win10 but I want to move it to linux later on (since i m not that familiar with it rn), this is kind of a test run.

IMO Its not that deep here in Switzerland + most of the Swiss people are not supporting CBDC's anyway, alot are for privacy and still want to keep cash.

Dont think this will be a threat, Social Media spreading fear as usual. (fyi, yes I am swiss)
