Re: Set all 4 cores for initial blockchain catch-up in core

I understand for mining one can specify the number of cores (in this case to all) as

Code:

setgenerate true genproclimit -1

Can I instruct a freshly installed bitcoind to use all the cores to verify the signatures to speed up the initial set up of the core client?

It's a command-line/bitcoin.conf parameter called "par". See the builtin help.
