My computer was up all night to resync the Steem blockchain.
After 6 hours it was at block 4.600.000.
I then interrupted that and tried to restart it ...
I'm now back at block 0
Not good:
./steemd --resync
Better:
./steemd --replay
However, it would be much easier if I just downloaded the blockchain externally.
I still haven't figured out, why there is no database directory in my steemd folder.
Screenshot for explanation.
This was the problem 3 months ago and I made no progress.
There is no folder, no blockchain file and if I reboot Ubuntu the downloaded progress will be gone.
In fact, I got this far on the first try to compile this.
Oh yeah and btw the trick with the new version 0.16 is:
It has to be boost 16.
I gave up trying to run boost 16 with ubuntu 14.04.1 - With Ubuntu 16.04 it was very easy.
I'm resyncing again now, but this isn't fun.
