Thanks. I'm using 32GB as well. I did all of the steps but I'm stuck at "Started witness node on a chain with 13xxxx blocks"
Is this normal or am I doing something wrong? I can see steemd is trying to open connections to other nodes when I take a look in the Resources Monitor, and it strangely seems to download a few blocks only altough it doesn't tell when it downloads them. I have opened the port in the router as well.
Thanks for your help.
It does take several hours to several days, depending on what plugins you have enabled, how fast your SSD is etc.
Mine is a Crucial M4 128GB SSD. I only have the Witness plugin enabled as it takes a lot of RAM with the other plugins activated (more than the 32GB I currently have in the system). Well, thanks for letting me know that it will take a few hours or days. Will monitor it to see how it goes.
