I hate to say it but BTC is doomed unless they change their business model.

I agree but Bitcoin core is the network of bitcoin. Wink
If you don't have bitcoin core ... bitcoin doesn't exist. Smiley

Pool's and mining station is the fondation of the bitcoin network.
They use a bitcoin core (or bitcoinj) completly installed.

At this time, you can retrieve more quickly "bootstrap" from torrent official link (need 24h to recreate the blockchain with 75% CPU usage) ... or from other P2P network in final stage (upgraded every 10 generated block in a list of downloads, no need CPU, index and chainstate include).

Dev. must implement this strategy to diffuse more quickly, the blockchain for new client of bitcoin core.
