Subject: [Libbitcoin] Tips for syncing libbitcoin-server mainnet
Hey!

I'm currently setting up libbitcoin-server, but I found that it's very slow
to sync the blockchain on mainnet, I'm around the 230K block now, but it
looks like it's going to take many days to get up to date.

Do you have any recommendations on how to make it sync faster ? I have it
running on AWS, tried setting a machine with good memory, around 15G, but
still very slow, and it's not consuming it all anyway, same for CPU.
Maybe there are tweaks that can be done to the configuration to make it
faster.

We do have running, fully synced now, a testnet server, we're currently
setting the domain for it, and we'll share it later, because as far as we
know, none of the obelisk servers for testnet, listed on the wiki are
working or have the blockchain up to date.
