Another way to make it go a little bit faster is to go to your "tools" section here in Peakd, run a "node benchmark" analysis, and then when you find which node is the fastest, then you apply it to your hivechain wallet as well (under the "preferences" section, it will ask you which RPC node you'd prefer to run). Good to know about the DNS preferences though too, I'll have to do that as well; every extra bit of speed means a ton lately, seeing as the big Splinterlands boom has definitely caused a strain on servers/etc (understandably so - kind of hard to prepare for a sudden boom, lol)

that might work for peakd, but logging in directly into splinterlands.com with your posting key, without using keychain, actually achieves the fastest result. great tip tho, I'll try that! I do use keychain on a few of the splinterlands accounts
@apshamilton
well
no changes
Yeah that can obviously happen that you might already be running on the fastest RPC node...I only changed mine once to a node that was only a little bit quicker, and I tried running another benchmark to see if any of the others were faster like a week later, but ended up getting the same result as you- the api.hive.blog node was/is the fastest one that I can run on...I just know that one or two people had mentioned that little trick back when splinterlands was like really slow & laggy a week or two ago. & because I do use hive keychain extension on my splinterlands account though, so it did have some effect at first..albeit very minimal. Always worth a shot though..🤷♂
Sorry I couldn't help out more!
actually, changing RPC nodes is useful very often, because the api.hive.blog node does get laggy sometimes. but I usually pick a random one from the list so knowing what is the 2nd / 3rd best RPC are is very good
Oh nice, that's definitely good to know for future reference then. I wasn't 100% sure what else that's useful for aside from splinterlands tbh.
