@beampaywallet x.com/vladcostea/sta…

@Vladcostea probably 24-48 hours depending on network conditions. internet speed matters way more than those cores though

syncing bitcoin core v30.2 on my new mac studio with 64 gigs of ram the internet speed is 923 mbps gave it 10 cpu cores how long do you think it’s gonna take?

@Merdog @bitstoys Nah

@bitstoys @Vladcostea Probably like 8 hours

After 4 hours, it synced nearly 86% Says it will finish in about 30 minutes

3 hours later, it’s at 61% (March 2023)

@ErikVoorhees @SenSanders Hi Erik, wen podcast?

@SenSanders Use promo code "BERNIE" for 20% off our Pro annual subscription venice.ai

I spoke to Anthropic’s AI agent Claude about AI collecting massive amounts of personal data and how that information is being used to violate our privacy rights. What an AI agent says about the dangers of AI is shocking and should wake us up.

@CoineliusX @BuffaloDylBTC Yes

@BuffaloDylBTC @Vladcostea Interesting, guess I’m wrong, last node I spun up (VM) gave it 4 cores and 16GB RAM on 500Mbps pipe and it still took a day and CPU was mot sweating much. Is there some tweaks in the config you can do to speed up IBD?

hit 50% after 2h 20m

@Joe_IO I can try that next

@Vladcostea The real question is how long would it take to sync the whole Monero chain

@Lfg0x1 @peterktodd i’m not good enough

@Vladcostea I know, it's also some of the most scrutinized and trusted open source software in the world. I'm a fan, just my feed is full of people comparing core to war criminals. That said, you ever talk with @peterktodd again? That was a banger episode.

2 hours later, it synced 44% currently, it’s using 26-27 gigs of ram (i gave it access to 50/64)

@TheBTCTherapist You also stole content without giving credit to the creators. Made money off of other people’s ideas and memes. So just be grateful it lasted for as long as it has.

*Read THIS before you read the next dumbass community note* When I posted my last post, it was a last resort. I truly had no idea and no prior knowledge of anything I was doing wrong. I spent an hour weeding through my posts thinking I made an insensitive meme. I deleted a ton of posts, I thought X went soft. Thank God that wasn't the case. After my first appeal was denied, I decided to post publicly as I figured someone could help since I didn't have a single clue on what went wrong. Almost immediately @nikitabier responds with a snarky response attempting to call me out. The problem is apparently me having 3 X accounts and I've been "cross promoting". This is where I have a problem.. If cross promoting is re-sharing posts to my old newsletter account, I guess I'm guilty. BUT- it seems important to mention, I already had other accounts when I first was monetized. Why would I have been approved for the program from the start if this was ever going to be an issue? Although he wanted to call out the accounts, notice how he didn't respond when I immediately added up the follower count. This is the last thing I thought would've been a problem. The accounts have been deactivated in an attempt to honestly appeal after Grok suggested that this was the best way to move forward. I created a number of accounts on X over the years when I had different ideas relating to Bitcoin. I created a charity Bitcoin account and a Bitcoin account for healthcare workers, both of those ultimately being unsuccessful. I had a newsletter account promoting our newsletter that was successful but eventually we decided to take a step back from them. I took 9 months off of my job with no pay to grow my X account from 10k followers to 100k followers in 2023. I saw the value in X before monetization was even an option. I handmade memes literally using the drawing tool to edit photos. If you don't believe me, look at my old posts on instagram. Almost immediately after posting content, it would get reshared with no credit to me. That was just the way it was. I busted my ass while the algorithm has changed nonstop. X has always been sharing media and adding your own spin. I don't even need to comment on "stealing content". How is resharing a post through the link X provides, stealing? If that's the case then, wow, I've been robbed for years straight. Quote sharing is an option for a reason. I'm not posting this for sympathy. I don't care if you like my posts are not, that's not the issue here. That's not what X is for. You don't get to demonetize someone because their content isn't your favorite. You're not that special, sorry. I might not be offering the most intellectual content with every post, I have always had a lighthearted spin on current events that opens conversation on my page. Isn't that what this app is for? Entertainment and information? Is there not a single person who works for @X with an ounce of integrity that can hear me out? I'm being punished to the highest degree for something I didn't even know was wrong until a few hours ago. If I knew I was doing something wrong, I wouldn't be surprised or upset. But I had no idea. Why does this app have the option to link multiple accounts and retweet from them if this isn't allowed? I also don't think any sane person would consider reposting tweets MONTHS ago to an account with 250-3,000 followers as engagement farming. How can I farm engagement on followers that overlap between accounts? I can't help but feel I am not being offered a solution because of the name of my account. If Bitcoin wasn't my niche I don't think we'd be here. Up until this point, I thought the platform was headed in the right direction. I'm all about progress and shifting this platform to become something better, but I don't agree with public mockery when I'm looking to solve this. And as I've said a million times, "THIS IS FUCKING BULLSHIT!!!" @premium @elonmusk @Support

@Lfg0x1 dude it’s just software wtf
