Something is wrong&#xA;&gt; with your system&#xA;&#xA;Nothing wrong, it&#39;s all default install. I documented the platform&#xA;for anyone who wants to confirm it.&#xA;&#xA;&gt; A full sync here takes something like an hour.&#xA;&#xA;And what, similarly, is your platform?&#xA;It takes 5 seconds... on my Cray.&#xA;&#xA;&gt; I would guess that you are running the blockchain download&#xA;&gt; through the tor-proxy&#xA;&#xA;Use of Tor was stated. Tor is fast enough. I can copy the entire&#xA;3GiB of the .bitcoin dir in 7 days... off a slow hidden service.&#xA;And 0.5 days via exit.&#xA;&#xA;&gt; encrypting your disk (aes stuff) will not help you much either&#xA;&#xA;Encryption is a perfectly reasonable thing to expect users of&#xA;bitcoin to be interested in doing. In fact, those not encrypting&#xA;their disks should probably rethink that plan.&#xA;&#xA;&gt; encrypting a the storage of a public blockchain seems to me a bit odd ?&#xA;&#xA;Well, without detachdb, it&#39;s somehow tied to the wallet, whether&#xA;while processing or offline. And the wallet and debug.log are&#xA;not relocatable from the data. And encrypting everything is perfectly&#xA;reasonable anyways. As is storing your valuable data on filesystems&#xA;that verify the integrity of their data on disk, such as ZFS/BTRFS.&#xA;&#xA;These days, crypto, Tor, and ZFS are common and non-arguments.&#xA;&#xA;&gt; I get a full blockchain from scratch in 45 minutes on my laptop&#xA;&#xA;Again, timings with no CPU/OS/disk specs are useless infos.</html></oembed>
