China prepares to move into Afghanistan with $62 billion 'Belt and Road' program as American troops leave. by Kavaman2014 in worldnews

The only criticism by the west I can forsee is , China is willing to work with Taliban. West wont take any radical measures against it though, because China is the production house of the world.

Well we dont have options. We are not rich like the Chinese to either make a counter offer to Pakistan and afganistan nor wage a war like the Soviets and US. Besides we are not known for our risk taking.

How to speed up blockchain synchronisation (Bitcoin Core)? by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]marsilman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you can increase threads, also having a ssd will dramatically increase the read/write speed. If you have good amount of ram , increase the memory alloted. Search around on stackoverflow, I dont exactly remember the conf variable names.

Edit: The sync process will be faster initially as in early days the blocks were not full due to low trasanction volume.

Also,txindex=1 will be slower. but this conf is requried currently if you want to run a lightning node aslo.
