<a​ljustiet:eientei.org> My blockchain synced with the speed of 3.47 blocks per second. It it slow?

<a​ljustiet:eientei.org> I would say that it took around 2-3 days

<a​ljustiet:eientei.org> Is there a way to speed up this process?

<n​oname-user0:matrix.org> faster ssd in your computer

<a​ljustiet:eientei.org> Well, it's samsung 990 pro 2 tb

<a​ljustiet:eientei.org> 3/4 of it is for linux. I have to resize it backwards to make it 1/20 but it seems that it's going to take much time too.

<a​ljustiet:eientei.org> But, it's in thinkpad t14s gen 3 amd laptop.

<a​ljustiet:eientei.org> But, it's in thinkpad t14s gen 3 amd laptop that means it's going to be hot in it.

<a​ljustiet:eientei.org> Does monerod download node from other nodes?

<a​ljustiet:eientei.org> Does `monerod` download node from other nodes?

<t​orir:matrix.org> `monerod` downloads the blockchain from other Monero nodes but the bottleneck is verifying all of the blocks. An SSD helps speed up the verification process.

<h​emalurgist:matrix.org> When is the next Monero meet? How can I be more of a part of this, my favorite asset? Is there a mining meet convention? Not a tech backround fyi but enthusiastic. Helpful links appreciated. Thank you for your time.

<a​ljustiet:eientei.org> Is there a way to buy monero with fiat?

<a​ljustiet:eientei.org> Right now, to buy monero, I have to find exchange in bestchange.com, buy LTC or DASH from there, and exchange it to XMR. There are too many layers here.

<h​bs:matrix.org> retoswap.com

<a​ljustiet:eientei.org> Why, isn't it on official website?

<h​bs:matrix.org> file a PR to add it

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> dont kraken and kucoin still sell xmr? And possibly providers in cake

<n​ighteous:matrix.org> afaik, trocador.app lets you buy XMR directly using FIAT

<n​ighteous:matrix.org> nvm it doesn't, my bad
