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?

Let me replace someone, with someone that cares if bitcoin lives or dies.

Which we both know, I could care less what happens to bitcoin.

I was explaining the only real way to improve sync times is a new genesis block,
aside from actually spending money on better hardware or internet , which many of your node operators seem unwilling to do.
So ask them why they are the ones whining.

I understand that Doomad is a douchebag, that thinks his insults against anyone that offers an opinion,
not following the bitcore religious cult dogma makes any difference whatsoever.
