Heya guys, new to this coin. Downloaded the wallet and added all nodes mentioned here. I have a connection between 1-4. But yet still the sync is suuuuuuuuper slow, why is that?
I have unlimited inet speed which downloads gb movies in minutes....soooo its not my connection. any ideas?:/

Anyone aware of a bootstrap for dtc? If not I will make one available
https://github.com/dtc20017/Datacoin-Bootstrap
How comes sync is so slow? Is it because the nodes have horrible inet atm or the tech is really slowing it down that much?
For newcomers like me its really a big minus point on this project:/
Will still stay but just wanna give my 2 sats
Hello All,
Thanks to dtc2017 for providing a linear bootstrap.dat for Datacoin.
I am importing it on a fresh node now and will compare the hash of its tip with that on another node to offer a secondary confirmation of it being the honest chain.
As far as syncing with the blockchain organically, yes it is very slow on Windows, much faster on macOS and quite fast on Linux, relatively speaking.
That being said, Datacoin will only ever take longer to do an initial sync when the promise of 500GiB/year of growth is expressed.
To address the various needs of users around the globe, it would make sense for us to publish a DNS address record of regional nodes.
For example a ns.hkg.example.org, ns.europe.example.org or even ns.north-america.example.org.
Another way to speed up the initial sync organically would be to identify "fast nodes" and then during your initial sync, include a connect=fastnode.example.com into your datacoin.conf.
The net effect of such a directive would imply your Datacoin node would only be connecting ever to fastnode.example.com when syncing. After the sync, removing the connect= line would then join you with the rest of the peer network.
