does anyone know the fastest way to sync on ubuntu 16.04. This is extremely frustrating.
Fiddled with this a long time ago. I use
bitmonerod --out-peers 1 --p2p-bind-ip 127.0.0.1 --db-sync-mode fast:async:1000
doesn't seem secure to connect only one peer, but it syncs really fast
EDIT: sorry, saw all the other replies. Will leave this here anyway.
