8 cores.
16 gigs ram.
sync runs for day's and then crashes around 450g downloaded. Of course a libbitcoin crash means FUCK YOU you have to start over...no chance to remove bad db blocks etc..just start over. I've tried for 3 weeks to make this work. As far as I can tell this is a broken project. Using OSX binaries. I'm done.
NOTE: I'm not actually looking for help as I've wasted more than enough time with this project.
I'm going back to bitcoin core.
