Oh ok. Good to know then. But didn't it take forever to sync your node?

Yeah, it will take time. I started my sync 13 days ago. I'm at 83.99 % now syncing transactions from 1 year ago. Exponentially gets slower the higher percentage I reach. Soon there... 😅

That's what I thought. Well there's no rush anyway, not for me at least! :) Thanks man!

No problem. Happy to share the data!
SSDs seem to break more randomly so I wanted HDDs as I run Nextcloud on my Umbrel. I think it's worth the slow sync. :)
