After a very quick initial sync to 60% IBD on my node has slowed to a painful crawl. It’s been nearly a month and I’m only at 78%. less than 1% a day. Everytime I check it, it shows 0 connected peers, once in a very great while I’ll catch it showing 1-2. I’m thinking that is the issue but I don’t know how to increase peer connections. 2 days ago I tried manually adding a node… didn’t seem to work. I’m running umbrel on a raspberry pi5, 8gb ram, 2tb ssd for storage/OS Any recommendations on speeding it up? Connecting with more peers? #asknostr #bitcoin #node #help nostr:nprofile1qqsw5t3us9xs3gmclzjm37hvk2yy6pv9t96utjjttsj794hexc5x79qpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpzemhxw309a6k6cnjv4kzumr0vdskcw358q6rsx95ets

Being a Bitcoiner and embracing self-sovereignty is more than just mining, hodl-ing or running a node. The ethos also drives one to provide for oneself. This morning I did just that, harvesting a mature buck on my property. Proof of Work in action. #bitcoin #proofofwork #hunting #whitetail

Crispy autumn ride this evening. Gotta get outside and enjoy the leaves when you can!

A big pot of chili just hits on a whole different level on a windy, chilly and drizzly October day I believe this is a universal truth

I don’t often share the artwork I’m involved with here. But I’m very proud of this latest piece and all of the very long hours we poured into it. Entitled “Arras” this woven glass surface measures in at just over 10 ft x 4ft. The largest woven glass ever created. We have it exhibited at ArtPrize in the Gerald Ford Museum. Artprize is an annual international art competition located in Grand Rapids, MI If you’re in the area over the next 2 weeks, stop in and see it. I promise you’ll be impressed. I’d also appreciate if you gave it a vote if so inclined. #glassart #wovenglass #glassweaving #fineart #artprize https://blossom.primal.net/bb4b847c3456d06efb62f817f980220ef98093f8f10345cf2983bd08212274a0.mov
