I remember initially waiting for the “db” file to “build” at around 300,000…and that seemed like a pretty big number and a long wait. I wonder how long it would take me to build the current file size. I think about a week…
Maybe share your story if someone wins the 8,000,000th block, or something very close – from those of you on the forum.
Best regards to those still in the project!
And to those outside, too 
EDIT:
I won another one - but it’s still a long way from 8M - 7,998***
