I see you’re experiencing some issues with Bitcoin Core’s pruning behavior!

To help you resolve this issue, I’ll provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to increase the -prune flag to achieve the desired prune size of approximately 550 MB.

Pruning Configuration:

Before we dive into the solution, let’s review the basic configuration for Bitcoin Core:

prunemin=1500

This setting will prune your blockchain data to about 1.5 GB per minute (1500 MB).

To increase this value and achieve a more suitable prune size of around 550 MB, you can try the following:

Step-by-Step Solution:

• Open the Bitcoin Core configuration file: Navigate to ~/.bitcoincore/config (on Linux/Mac) or %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\btcconfig (on Windows). Create a new file named .btcconfig with the text editor of your choice.

• Edit the pruning configuration: Update the following lines in the file:

prunemin=550

This setting should increase the prune size to approximately 550 MB.

• Save and close the file: Save the changes and close the file.

• Restart Bitcoin Core: Launch Bitcoin Core again, either from the command line (e.g., ./bitcoin-core on Linux/Mac) or by restarting your Qt application (in Qt 5.x).

Alternative Solution:

If you are using a recent version of Qt (e.g., Qt 5.12), you can also use the prune option with the -q flag to achieve similar results:

./bitcoin-core -q prune=550

This should increase the prune size without requiring manual configuration.

Testing:

Once you’ve made these changes, restart Bitcoin Core and test the pruning behavior. You can monitor the prune progress using tools like bitcoin-cli prunemin or by manually checking the blockchain data to see if it’s being downloaded at the desired rate.

If you continue to experience issues with pruning, please provide more details about your system, configuration, and environment. I’ll be happy to help further!
