Hi Crypto, I'm new and downloaded my wallet and now the bootstrap, so how exactly do I use it?
thanks,
Rick
Downloading XDE II Blockchain Bootstrap allows a new XDE II client (not synced) to rapidly import
the blockchain from a local file instead of slowly downloading it from peers on Internet.
You just need to follow the steps below:
1. Download XDE II Blockchain bootstrap.dat.xz from
http://chain.blockpioneers.info/bootstraps/xde2bootstrap.zip .
Website:
http://chain.blockpioneers.info/ > Blockchain Bootstraps > Double Eagle 2 Bootstrap
It’s ~42M in size compared to ~170M of the blockchain.
2. Extract it:
Linux: xz -d bootstrap.dat.xz
Mac: You can obtain xz from MacPorts or
http://macpkg.sourceforge.net/Windows: install 7Zip
3. Copy bootstrap.dat to XDE2Coin home directory:
Linux: ~/.xde2coin
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/XDE2Coin
Windows: %APPDATA%/Roaming/XDE2Coin OR %APPDATA%/Local/XDE2Coin OR %APPDATA%/XDE2Coin
4. Start wallet which will automatically import blockchain from bootstrap.dat
5. After import is finished, bootstrap.dat will be renamed to bootstrap.dat.old which can be deleted to save disk space.
Enjoy!
