Very slow performance on local machine #356

Closed trekianov closed 4 years ago

trekianov commented 4 years ago

The generation of the Bitcoin data library is increasingly slower: at block 400000 I am currently processing about 10000 blocks per day, which means that, being optimistic, I have still at least twenty days of computation to go. Is it possible to have a something like a snapshot of the Bitcoin data library recently generated so I could copy it and update locally? It would be a great help for people with limited computational resources. Using AMI: yes/no
BlockSci version: latest (0.5.0) Blockchain: Bitcoin Parser: Disk Total memory: 24GB

24GB is insufficient for Bitcoin, you'll need to use a stronger machine. We currently don't provide snapshots (see #2).
