When a traveler is lost, it’s those around him that help him out in pointing the right way." That’s why I’m reaching out to those more experienced in this area.
I have been using the Bitcoin core, version 29.0 on my HP laptop (with an SSD internal storage) for some while now, but I keep experiencing this two problems which is:
1) The synchronization process is very very slow.
2) And just within 30 minutes of syncing tit, it will consume roughly about 12GB of my mobile data without even syncing much
My question now is: Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong that I am not aware of? or is it because I am running a prunned Synchronization?
Some persons suggested that I should revert to an earlier version (v28.1 or v25), with the assumption that those versions sync better and use less data. I am not even sure how accurate that advice is. I would however appreciate any advice on this. Should I downgrade, change some settings, or is v29.0 simply more data intensive?
