I would assume, though, that the result would be similar timings.
However, by having a merkle tree hash of all UTXOs they become downloadable in a trusted manner from any other client - something that enables bootstrap in minutes, so the old numbers becomes less relevant in this setting. > > On Wed, Jul 17, 2013 at 4:58 PM, Wendell <w...@grabhive.com> wrote: > "The libcoin/bitcoind client downloads the entire block chain 3.5 times > faster than the bitcoin/bitcoind client.
