over 50 hours to sync localy

[int03h]

no shit . 50 hours now .. this is beyond a fucking joke.

Easy there with the f-bombs you can download a recent block torrent into
your data dir and be up and running way faster. Try googling around about
that usually I have a machine on the LAN that is already synced so I don't
have this problem. There is also bitcoinj the lightweight wallet you can
check out it doesn't need a local copy of the blockchain.

This is well known, but swearing won't do anything except insult people and elicit responses like: If you think you can do better then do better.

[int03h]

no f bombs. it took over 72 hours to finish. with 4 ( FOUR ) local nodes all addnoded.

play the ball not the player. BTW addnode blows as does connect

it drops local connections like a whore that's lost her crack pipe. something is badly broken and needs to be fixed urgently.

[int03h]

btw .. I have for 5 months in a row hit my 300GB cap .. (dec was 550GB and Jan was 450GB ). All of my nodes are compiled -without-miniupnpc .. so .. needless to say I am done donating bandwidth to this enterprise since people behave like children the second someone says fuck.

From Wikipedia : The word's use is considered obscene in social contexts, but may be common in informal and familiar situations. It is unclear whether the word has always been considered vulgar, and if not, when it first came to be used to describe (often in an extremely angry, hostile or belligerent manner) unpleasant circumstances or people in an intentionally offensive way, such as in the term motherfucker, one of its more common usages in some parts of the English-speaking world. In the modern English-speaking world, the word fuck is often considered highly offensive. Most English-speaking countries censor it on television and radio. Andrea Millwood Hargrave's 2000 study of the attitudes of the British public found that fuck was considered the third most severe profanity and its derivative motherfucker second. Cunt was considered the most severe.[1] Fuck has become increasingly less vulgar and more publicly acceptable, an example of the "dysphemism treadmill", wherein vulgarities become inoffensive and commonplace.[2][3] Fuck was included for the first time as one of three vulgarities in the Canadian Press's Canadian Press Caps and Spelling guide in 2005 because of its increasing usage in the public forum. Journalists were advised to refrain from censoring the word but use it sparingly and only when its inclusion was essential to the story.[4]
The term remains a taboo word to many people in English-speaking countries.

@int03h Not the place for neither profanity nor a discussion on profanity. But I do agree that the download of blocks can be improved. It's an open source project - meaning anyone can contribute (like Wikipedia), so you're as responsible for fixing this as anyone else.

[int03h]

@rebroad Thanks for saying nothing in so many words. As you may well know .. the specification for the code is fairly tight and as such does not lend itself to "tinkering" . Feel free to pick a profanity from any of the above and apply it to yourself. Clue-less-opinionated-dick-head would have been my choice here. (if I was you )

[int03h]

ohhh .. and someone buy the man a clock... I am sure 5 days is not even a half legitimate troll attempt .. ( I'll take it .. but shows shockingly poor form. )

[rebroad]

@int03h specification for the code? Do you mean Satoshi's white paper? It hardly dictates how a peer is permitted to download blocks from other peers.

[int03h]

Your troll is weak.Specification in this realm is about as close to " it has sky " color is "something" so I am not really sure what you are asking me to defend. Except for the the ones posted a few lines up that concluded that both peer sync and node discovery etc blow big monkey balls.

Can you take this elsewhere?
You can be profane as you wish if you solve actual issues.
(but not too much in the code, we don't want this to become the linux kernel http://www.vidarholen.net/contents/wordcount/ :-)
