With reading from a non-BDB file should not the system cache take care of the random reads (at least at initial blockchain download and given enough RAM). In theory, probably. But for Huntercoin, it makes an order of magnitude difference to move the blockchain directory to a RAM disk before syncing...

He said - the "fatal flaw " (not fatal or it would be dead) was not fixed by the namecoin dev team and the kraken team had to fix it. This is incorrect, Mikhail fixed the bug within minutes after i told him (a few hours after the flaw was made public).. Of course it was fine tuned (and checked) to f...

maybe he's misinformed

I apologise if this is not relevant.. but something about incoming transfer of names in the qt is ringing some bells.. Hmm there should not have been any incoming transfers on that wallet... some ever pending ones, though. i mean it need to check for them to put them in the gui? - am probably wrong...

With my stock control testing wallet ("ACME") downloading of the blockchain was so horribly slow I could not believe it. The wallet once had a couple hundred names/transactions so in it. With the wallet renamed downloading is way faster and the GUI is not sluggish any more. I wonder whether the GUI...

There must be some explanation to exactly what is happening, yet i've not seen any posts/research explaining exactly what the problem is.. The best explanation I could find is this one for the Bitcoin client before 0.8.x: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=101545.msg1111732#msg1111732 Also not...

There are quite a few things you can do: Start with parameter -printtoconsole (works for namecoind. I'm not sure if this parameter exists in Namecoin-Qt.) This alone reduces the synch time substantially. A lot of time is wasted accessing the db files and the debug log file simultaneously. You proba...

does anyone have a solution to the insane disk access (and locking) with blockchain sync? (i know it has been discussed several times, but seems we never got anywhere with it) I can add a small 1k Huntercoin bounty (not much value atm) if anyone can sort this with namecoin. I'm attempting to get lib...

I think you should be able to do that just fine. But maybe you have to wait for at least one confirmation of name_firstupdate in case you don't do that. There's no other waiting time involved, though, as far as I know. BTW, I think we should enable name_firstupdate to a specified address. This shou...
