Guys, where can I go to download the Blockchain, directly?
nowhere.
My wallet synchronization shows 1 peer and has been as such for the last 3 days, and I have over 3 years remaining.
the last time i downloaded the blockchain was two months ago.
19 hours with a 2 megabit connection (200 kilobytes per second).
the blockchain right now is 27 gigabytes.
I think developers should take care that we can download the full archive to run a full node. It's very inconvenient for months to download the entire Blockchain. I do not consider using the web version of the wallet as safe, especially since they do not provide a private key.
