Title: is the blockchain humongous?
Post by: merockstar on July 25, 2014, 11:27:30 pm
58154 BTSX blocks to be downloaded- it's been around for... a week?

my PTS client says the PTS blockchain is 67493 blocks... it's been live for months.

are BTSX block much much smaller?

nothing wrong. just seems like a lot for such a new currency, so I was wondering if the blocks were smaller, or if just THAT many people felt the need to try it out.

Why the block NO. 56240 of my client is unconsistency with yours?

There are more blocks per time. PTS blocks were every 10 minutes, BTSX blocks are every 10 seconds. So they are more and they are smaller.
Is that what you meant? :)

yes, that explains it. just seems like its taking the same amount of time to download all the blocks.

edit: just realized ive been uploading to dropbox. turned that off and it sped up significantly
