Something is wrong\n\u003e with your system\n\nNothing wrong, it's all default install. I documented the platform\nfor anyone who wants to confirm it.\n\n\u003e A full sync here takes something like an hour.\n\nAnd what, similarly, is your platform?\nIt takes 5 seconds... on my Cray.\n\n\u003e I would guess that you are running the blockchain download\n\u003e through the tor-proxy\n\nUse of Tor was stated. Tor is fast enough. I can copy the entire\n3GiB of the .bitcoin dir in 7 days... off a slow hidden service.\nAnd 0.5 days via exit.\n\n\u003e encrypting your disk (aes stuff) will not help you much either\n\nEncryption is a perfectly reasonable thing to expect users of\nbitcoin to be interested in doing. In fact, those not encrypting\ntheir disks should probably rethink that plan.\n\n\u003e encrypting a the storage of a public blockchain seems to me a bit odd ?\n\nWell, without detachdb, it's somehow tied to the wallet, whether\nwhile processing or offline. And the wallet and debug.log are\nnot relocatable from the data. And encrypting everything is perfectly\nreasonable anyways. As is storing your valuable data on filesystems\nthat verify the integrity of their data on disk, such as ZFS/BTRFS.\n\nThese days, crypto, Tor, and ZFS are common and non-arguments.\n\n\u003e I get a full blockchain from scratch in 45 minutes on my laptop\n\nAgain, timings with no CPU/OS/disk specs are useless infos."}
