Thanks everyone. yes its a HDD not a SDD, and since its a laptop I believe it is very hard to add RAM? AM I wrong?
There are types of Laptops that have an integrated RAM, mostly those dual-boot laptops with ARM processors.
Since you didn't stated the processor's name (
just speed), it's hard to tell if your is expandable.
If you want, you can add this to your config file so your node will skip the script verification of the blocks until height707820 (
the tip as of now).
Config file is in bitcoin data directory (
location), if you don't have one, create it manually.
assumevalid=00000000000000000004f68a47d1f55e45da3115c4a5a7f9fe787ec8af1246f6
Take note that it wont significantly speed up syncing the last 8%, only a bit, and it defeats the purpose of a full node.
