I decided to run a full node recently, as I want to import keys to a new wallet.
However, the program wont open while running a full node.
Started synching yesterday at morning, it synched up to 2018.
Closed the program, turned off the computer, went to sleep.
Waked up today, turned on the computer, opened the program.
Four hours have passed, software is stuck on “verifying blocks, press Q to close” initial screen.
I killed the process as it was only at 20% of “verifying”, so I noticed it won’t open for the entire day.
While pruned, it takes longer to synch, but program opens in a matter of seconds.
Why this is happening? I remember it took 30 minutes to open a full node in 2020, and that’s why I switched to pruned.
But four hours?
How do I avoid the initial “verification”?
I’m using a EVO 870 SSD, and my processor is a i5 8400, with 32gb of RAM.
