- The initial database "forging" can take a long time. If you do not already have a
4752
copy of the desired blockchain data, txindexed, you will need to allow additional time for this as well.
4853
- Time to forge depends on the chain, block interval, transactions per block, and your hardware. This can range from a few hours, to more than a day for some coins, on some hardware.

- It's recommended to run as much of the affected filesystem in RAM (tmpfs), putting blockchain data and Encompass-Mercury
55+
leveldb data on tmpfs storage will greatly reduce the time to forge the database.
56+
- Recommendations for forging initial db do NOT apply to normal operation. In initial forging each transaction must be verified and written
57+
to the Encompass-Mercury db. This causes excessive disk activity.
58+
- Additional performance could be gained by running /var/lib/docker on tmpfs as well

- Image may not start encompass-mercury correctly on initial forge. Workaround:
