Update documentation: clarify blockchain header sync requirement
Corrected previous misinformation: - LBRY SDK DOES require blockchain header sync (not full blocks) - First run: 5-10 minutes to download ~1.7M headers - Added troubleshooting entry for BlockHeightEvent messages - Users now understand what the sync process looks like - Provided commands to stop the daemon This addresses user concerns about the invasive blockchain sync and ensures users know what to expect on first run.

**Note:** The LBRY SDK is a light client - it connects to the network and downloads content **without** needing to sync the entire blockchain (unlike Bitcoin). It only downloads the content you request.
|
||||
**Important:** The LBRY SDK (lbrynet) requires syncing blockchain **headers** (not full blocks) to function. On first run:
|
||||
- Downloads ~1.7 million block headers (takes 5-10 minutes)
|
||||
- Uses minimal storage (headers only, not full blockchain)
|
||||
- Subsequent starts are instant
|
||||
- This is required to verify content claims on the network
|
||||
|
||||
This is lighter than Bitcoin's full blockchain sync, but still necessary for the downloader to work.
