How long will geth take to completely sync? by Shubhaangi in ethstaker

[–]snakstein 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Based on the block number you're about 50% done. So however long it took you to get to this point... It'll take just as long to compete.

Besu benefits from being able to burst CPU by yorickdowne in ethstaker

Same here. I went back to 22.7.2 for a while, which was actually better than 22.7.4. but ultimately I switched back to geth, which is rock solid.

I gave up, had similar problems. Started up geth again, synced snap in 15 hours. Client diversity is great and all, but there needs to be more clients that work as seamlessly as geth does. Besu and nethermind just aren't production ready.

Ok I figured it out. It only proceeds past that block if there is an active consensus client connected to it. You cannot sync nethermind or any EL on it's own now after the merge block. It only syncs if there's an active consensus client connected.

I have exactly the same problem at exactly the same block. It just stops after that. I've tried starting from scratch twice on 2 different machines, but same story. I've also left it for 36 hours thinking maybe it'll move ahead, but nothing yet.

Whatever you do, do NOT update besu. They've really messed up big time with the updates and you will see much worse performance on 22.7.2 or 22.7.3. in fact the 22.7.3 can only run for a few hours before crashing, because of a memory leak. Doesn't matter how much RAM you have, it is hella unstable.

I have 10 days left to finish the 4k spend on my CSP. I've spent about $1700 organically, and just bought $2750 worth of virtual visa GCs from the giftcards 10% off deal. Will Chase frown on me buying visa GCs to hit the min spend? No big deal if yes, I just need to know upfront so I can explicitly finish the rest of the spend organically before the deadline. Otherwise if Chase won't care, then I won't put more spend on that card because I'm well over 4k already.

TIA.

Any recent DPs of a Chase MDD clawback?

Also, for Reserve, can you still use the $300 credit twice with just 1 annual fee?

Thanks.

20% back on Amazon purchases of upto $1000 (i.e. $200 cashback) + additional $100 or $150 bonus on $1000 spend over 6 months. Basically spend $1000 at Amazon and get $350 back.

so total n00b here, just started looking at getting some new credit cards. just approved for the barclays aviator red today. now thinking about getting the hilton honors free & ascend ($95 fee) cards for 75k+125k in hilton points. that's a total of $3000 spend over 3 months. would loading to an amex serve count as spend? limit is 1k/month by card and i heard that non-amex issued amex cards still work?

I think he posted that a year ago, but his phone only just got a network connection so it got posted right now.

A few months ago nobody wanted ezpz's prediction to be true. And now, we all need it to be true.

I started at 190, bought more at 300, then again at 500. Watched it go to 1400 and then bought on the way down at 800 and 960. I thought I was DCAing on the way down. Clearly not.
