There is only one thing that massively improves initial sync time.
And that is starting a new Genesis Block by switching to a new chain.
Anyone need to see this , look at diamond coin , they changed code bases every 2 or 3 years and start with a new chain each time.
So their chain is never more than 2 years old, and initial sync fairly fast.
Was this their intention doubtful, but a side effect of switching code bases and chains.
And if that's what people want, they should definitely use that coin. But it's not what I signed up for, so I won't be doing that.
So someone would need to take a proper accounting of bitcoin address and amounts and create a new chain starting with a new genesis block
It's always "
someone" with you. Why can't you be grateful for what you have, instead of constantly asking other people to do more for you? If you want it to happen, how about
you do it? But again, don't just expect people to join in. They'll either join of their own volition, or they won't.
Here's what you don't seem to grasp. People discovered Bitcoin, they liked the idea, so they started using it. Then you come along thinking you can change the idea to something many of those users would deem absolutely abysmal
AND you want someone else to make these terrible changes for you! What planet are you even from if you think that's gonna fly?
