RE: DIY Eclipse Jump Starter Kit - Pure and Undiluted

One day to get up and running with a fullnode vs what did we use to have, like 4 days for a replay? BT and team did great work with the eclipse update. I was surprised when I was able to get a new witness up and running in about half an hour (excluding the time to grab the block_log which was the longest wait).

Sort:  

It's a shortcut, but still a huge win. Such shortcuts were possible before, by using state providers, Steemit used that extensively, I used that too, disadvantage was that state files from state providers were not portable so I couldn't share with others, unless they were using exactly same environment. Not to mention that shared_memory.bin these days is less than 20GB, few times less than before the Eclipse.

^ Two years ago bumped to 300GB for full node, 15 months ago to 64GB for exchange node.

Bee impressed. :-)
