It seems the sync process is tediously slow with it's verification. I do know of the bootstrap file, but I'm not sure how secure this is (How to synchronize the GUI wallet using the blockchain bootstrap seems to state that verification is disabled for this)? There isn't even a known hash given for the bootstrap file?
Is there a known state of the blockchain that is hashed / verified somewhere?
You are probably looking for bootstrap node
monerod --help
--bootstrap-daemon-address arg URL of a 'bootstrap' remote daemon that
the connected wallets can use while
this daemon is still not fully synced.
Use 'auto' to enable automatic public
nodes discovering and bootstrap daemon
switching
