Now that I have 6months old child, I have been thinking how to make sure that all the sats I have badged will be preserved by the my next generations.

The best way is by teaching them in their mother tounge that is Bengali, 6th most natively spoken language. But there's no good book in Bengali except for basic blockchain BS. I have asked a prominent bitcoin book publisher for translation, but they didn't respond.

I believe I have to do it myself.

Recently I had to do IBD again but this time I had it done in 40 hours rather than usual time of 6 or more days without hardware upgrade with latest Core version in win64.

Fast Syncing Strategies (For Initial Block Download only) (as suggested by Gemini pro):

* Temporarily Disable Tor (if already being used): delete proxy, onion, torcontrol in your bitcoin.conf and settings.json so you can download the heavy blocks faster over your clear-net internet.
* Add Antivirus Exclusions: Tell your Antivirus to ignore your Bitcoin data folder so it doesn't scan every gigabyte you download.
* Max Out dbcache: Push dbcache in settings as high as your physical RAM safely allows (75% of your RAM capacity) so the node relies on RAM instead of the slow HDD.
* Use Assumevalid=000...fb5ee in bitcoin.conf (use latest hash according to your core version)

💽 The SSD "Hybrid Trick"
To bypass the physical limitations of your HDD's (if used) spinning disk during complex block validation:
* Cut the chainstate folder from your HDD.
* Paste it onto an SSD or fast flash drive.
* Use the Windows Command Prompt (as Administrator) to link them back together using: mklink /J "HDD_Path\chainstate" "SSD_Path\chainstate".

Now start the Node, keep running 24/7 without restarting. Once your node hits 100% sync, you can simply reverse your Tor proxy and other settings as you need.

Verify the hash of firmware update through pgp key is must.

I believe bip110ers will put The forbidden data they're warning about by themselves to prove a point.
