I've a node that I'm trying to sync with: --syncomode "full" --gcmode "archive" in order to address this needing Get a balance of an address at a certain block Unfortunately things became soo slow that probably we never manage to have a synced node. What can we use to optimize? I'm thinking on a pool of geth working together as a trusted peers cluster, would this work? Can be this created?
