bootstrap really make it faster?
i downloaded zeit bootstrap and it still takes forever to sync. i open my computer for 8 hours a day and i usually get only 200 mb added to blk0001.dat file
Yes ,
Bootstrap.dat files are faster than just syncing.
Blockchain Snapshots are Faster than Bootstraps.
ZEIT has a 30 second block time , so that is ~ 2880 blocks every 24 hours.
Regular sync for ZEIT is ~ a week or two , (~3 year old block chain.)
Bootstrap is ~ 24 to 48 hours.
Snapshot is normally 1 to 8 hours depending on how long since the last snapshot was made.
Bootstraps & Snapshots for
1337 will be faster for 2 reasons, it is a much younger chain, and it's Block Speed is 1 minute, so only ~ 1440 blocks per day.
Any other questions about
ZEIT , PM me or post in the
ZEIT forum.
Keep this forum's focus for the 1337 coin.
FYI:
One Tip for any PoS coin, that has coins in the wallet.
Always have your wallet encrypted so it is not trying to stake while it is syncing, this will slow down your syncing with useless orphans.
