I’m going to be a bit absent for a few days. I’ve got a computer that is intensely ‘busied out’ downloading 80+ GB of Bitcoin blockchain and processing it. It’s on it’s fourth day, and looks to be approaching halfway point. This is a drawback of starting up a new bitcoin wallet & processing node. All the prior history needs to be downloaded and processed. I’ve also slowed things down by installing it all on a removable thumb drive with a relatively slow access speed. It would be faster on a high speed hard drive. But for six grand I’ll wait…
For those who look at weather, tropical storm DARBY has impacted the Big Island and is now swirling NW up the island chain spewing water and wind in Honolulu, where I am now. No word on how the ranch house fared, but the neighbors have not called to tell me it’s demolished… so I’m optimistic. It should handle the water OK… not a flood zone.
So if you don’t hear from me for a week or more…. I’m treading water, waiting on Bitcoin blockchains.
