Hi NeuroticFish'!

Thank you for help and explanation of how prune works!

Seems like everything working good

...But: Its been exactly 20 days when I start to download whole blocjchain (its not downloading 24/7 but minimum 15 hours everyday and 24/7 during weekends) and Iam only on 44,44 % its goes very slow.

I think its beacuse of old hdd and small amount of ram (only 4 gb)?

Can I simply copy wallet.dat from old pc to my iMac with SSD and 12 gb of ram to make the process faster?

Or its not that easy?

Thanx in advance

Hi
The things that may have impact on the speed are the internet connection speed, the memory/RAM and the disk too. (Still it took longer than I thought.)

From what I know moving wallet.dat should work, as long as you are certain Bitcoin Core is stopped on both machines when you do this.
But please keep in mind that the whole process will start from 0 on the new device, although with the new machine specs it should end faster than the old.

This link could also be useful for where to find and where to put wallet.dat : https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Data_directory

Good luck!
