Day 1 with 9,61% progress, i've been running bitcoin core since yesterday, but decided to post it today (open the picture in the new window to see it properly).

Hi everyone, I've started this exciting challenge by setting up my own Bitcoin node today. I've installed Bitcoin Core on my Laptop and initiated the synchronization process with the blockchain. If there are any mistakes or improvements I could make on this journey I'd greatly appreciate your insights. My first day running my Bitcoin node. Thanks @NotATether
