RE: iguana status - debugging by rewriting
So if say you were to use this technique to update the bitcoin blockchain from scratch how long would it take? Apologies if it is a stupid question but I'm not a coder but I find this kind of stuff about how blockchains work quite fascinating.
blockchain size divided by bandwidth, plus half hour or so depending on how fast your computer is.
At 70 gigabytes, if you have a 100mbps connection, that's ~10MB/sec -> 70 * 100 = 7000 seconds, so about 2.5 hours
