RE: Steem blockchain downloading unbelievably slowly

in #steem-help7 years ago

What plugins are you trying to run, or better yet, what were you trying to build this node for?

I ask because the plugins you enable have a drastic impact on initial sync time.

Sort:  

I was running into trouble even with only the witness plugin. My steemd is for playing with a few projects of mine; I think the account history plugin will ultimately be an important part of it.

Downloading the blockchain that gtg provides was a huge help.

Nice, yeah it's a huge time-saver just being able to replay instead of resync.

The account history plugin is a huge, time-consuming memory hog :)

Hey Jesta, can you just disable the account history plugin? I'm currently trying to setup a witness server and downloading the blockchain right now, was wondering what significance does the account history play in the scheme of things?

I believe the account history plugin is used for get_account_history, so if you're not planning on using that API call, go ahead and disable it.

Edit - Oh, you said a witness server? Yeah you don't need any plugins.

enable-plugin = witness

is all you need!

Thanks :)

good point ;)
