Thank you, @woodstockmerkle and @CoinGame!
I started the compiling again.
Of course after having applied
git fetch origin
git fetch origin download_optimizations_r2
git reset --hard origin/2.1.1-RC
git merge origin/download_optimizations_r2
edit:
You fixed it!
I could compile nud successfully and started it with a fresh datadir only containing nu.conf.
I was impressed by the startup speed.
Seconds after I started nud, it was already syncing blocks.
I have developed the habit to tail -f the debug.log to see when nud is starting to get responsive for RPC.
So I started nud and tail right after that just to see that the first few hundred block had already been already processed!
I made a cronjob to log the block height each hour.
I’ll keep you updated.
So far it looks great!
