Is there a way to increase syncing speed?
My masternode is on a Vultr vps.
The syncing of the masternode can't keep up with the increment of the blockchain, so it is getting more and more behind.
I have 512mb memory and 2GB swap.
How can I speed this up?

1) Use bootstrap or install parsed blockchain
2) I forgot about forks since I use 1GB ram + 2GB swap

I still don't get it: atm the load average of the vps is between 0.00 and 0.10, so it is idle.
Memory in use is 66%.
Disk activity is zero for minutes.
Syncing is still not finished and is to slow to catch up to the current block.
Another strange thing is that "./8bitd getinfo" takes a very long time to respond

So because it is almost not using resources I would say it has something to do with connections. The number 0f connections is 8, but it seems like it takes to long for the information to come in.
Is there something i can change in the 8bit.conf to speed that up?

The code for this coin is ancient. It gobbled up 4gb of ram on my vps before. From what I can tell, it's using really old bitcoin core code in there, and you need to tune some params. Try adding these to the conf:

maxconnections=20
dbcache=64
mempool=64

Still, mine is using nearly 1gb of ram.
