However we'll go with SCP for this one. LoyceV I'm PMing you the credentials soon.
I actually prefer rsync, because scp changes the original file date, which is undesirable.

Ugh ... that leaves me with no other choice than use touch.



(Actually I'd prefer to do that .. can't do rsync straight to that appliance and I would rather avoid setting up a buffer VM just for rsync)

No need for me to upload that one.

Spot on. Cheesy

It would be great to have a mirror with decent bandwidth. If I don't have to upload 665 GB again when my host fails, it's already worth it.

How do you download this dump ?
I'm asking, since yeah the data needs to be updated every once in a while.

Are you downloading every update at 100kB/s ?
If yes, we'd "only" save some time if you upload it to my end.

Giving you the ability to blink my hardware's light emitting diodes might be pointless.

How is the data processed ? Running on Bitcoin Core ?
If only I had the skills for that! I use this:

Blockchair Database Dumps has a staggering amount of data, easily accessible (at 10 100 kB/s) with daily updates. All data in this topic comes from Blockchair.

Ha. Makes sense. Smiley
Some time ago I started coding a script to get something similar to the all addresses balance dump.
Unfortunately the initial processing of the blockchain was too resource expensive. The process never completed.

However ... This got me thinking..
If the "input outputs transaction" dump is something like a csv file, just compiling the "missing" data with Bitcoin Core and append it to the dump could do the trick.

(f*ck vi Tongue "<esc> :wq!" wtf)
What's wrong with vi? I literally use it every day Cheesy



The people who showed me the path to emacs warned me about vi users.
Everytime you use the dd p shortcut, the init entity turns off the numlock on boomer's keyboard so they can no longer login to their windows session.
You monster !  Angry
