Thank you for the detailed answer. I'll get to it as soon as my BTC wallet finishes syncing. 8% to go, but man, this shit takes forever, even with the dbcache=6144 set to 6GB. It's only doing 0.5% per hour.
I forgot to ask... what CPU do you have? and are you storing the Bitcoin Core data on an HDD or SDD and is it internal or external?
