1 2016-11-25 17:45:18 <RainMan28> i am importing a private key and it has been about 15 minutes so far, the wiki indicates that it should around 2 minutes on a very slow computer, is the wiki just outdated or am I doing something wrong?
2 2016-11-25 17:46:05 <RainMan28> sorry on a fast pc it should take 2 minutes
3 2016-11-25 17:46:18 <RainMan28> I am on a fast server and its been about 15 minutes or so
4 2016-11-25 17:47:35 <RainMan28> is it faster to import and have rescan set to false and then shutdown bitcoind and have it reload? Iââ¬â¢m on 0.13.1 btw
5 2016-11-25 17:53:36 <sipa> RainMan28: the wiki is mostly years old
6 2016-11-25 17:54:05 <sipa> RainMan28: you'll need to rescan once, whether you do it at startup or when issuing the command
7 2016-11-25 17:54:27 <sipa> but you can rescan for multiple keys at once
8 2016-11-25 17:54:55 <sipa> with the importwallet command you can import multiple keys, and specify their birthdates, which makes rescanning faster
9 2016-11-25 17:57:11 <RainMan28> sipa: thats really interesting, I imported a single privatekey which had the coins on it, and its been actually about 45 mins so far
10 2016-11-25 18:00:28 <RainMan28> sipa: is there any way to gauge the progress of a rescan when doing it via the importprivkey command?
11 2016-11-25 18:01:41 <sipa> it's logged to debug.log
12 2016-11-25 18:01:57 <sipa> though the progress estimation is not very accurate
13 2016-11-25 18:02:40 <RainMan28> oh very good to know, thank you
14 2016-11-25 18:02:43 <RainMan28> it just finished sipa :)
15 2016-11-25 18:36:00 <snaka12> hi all, is "child pay for parent
16 2016-11-25 18:36:04 <snaka12> " worth trying/?
17 2016-11-25 18:36:23 <snaka12> if so, is it just a raw transaction with the inputs of the unconfirmed?
18 2016-11-25 20:55:54 <molz> snaka12, yes
