I'm running a docker image with a bitcoin node (version v0.16.3.0-g49e34e288) and it's taking more than week to synchronize, having only synchronized 54% of the blockchain. I'm running it with the "prune=550" and "disablewallet" options. I there any way to speed up the synchronization process?

Thank you

The pruning works after full node synchronized only !!!! You can set it prune=550 only after that you have full node. Full node, then type prune=550 in conf file, then shutdown, then restart. Hi.

    That is completely incorrect. You do not need to be fully synced before you can prune. Pruning is done on the fly and can be enabled on first start. – Ava Chow Oct 07 '18 at 01:52
