Bitcoin Blockchain Download [bootstrap.dat]

Hint
This is a private hosted download. To scope the hosting costs the download page requires a donation of whatever amount is suitable for you.

FWIW, using bootstrap.dat generally is slower than just letting Bitcoin Core sync (and optionally increase dbcache value), https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.12323219.

Bitcoin Blockchain Download [bootstrap.dat]

About

Code:

--- block info ---
block date:     Sat, 24. Aug 2024 21:30:32
block number:   #858300
file name:      bootstrap.dat.xz
file size:      394 GB [403,091 MB]
file format:    compressed xz (containing bootstrap.dat)
uncompressed:   504 GB [515,290 MB]

--- signatures ---
SHA256(bootstrap.dat)= 5789394172eeec3e60250ef03567707b640c6e9677202e3cd1496087bf18ae59
SHA256(bootstrap.dat.xz)= 77267bc4f68a2719e2fbfb7cf67c4d0b0ecda0a5953b509c46e01f7fb837892b

--- client ---
Indexed with Bitcoin Core v0.17.2 on Linux (5.4.0 x64) platform, for maximum import compatibility.

What's new
The compression format has been updated to xz which allows the decompression of the bootstrap.dat file while downloading it. If you are an expert you can use system pipes to inject the highly compressed serialized Bitcoin blockchain bootstrap.dat to the Bitcoin Core initial blockchain loadup process.

Importing bootstrap.dat further allows deploying containers with Docker or Kubernetes more fasten and secure using fewer resources because you do not have to fully sync each running instance.

Setup
Move the decompressed bootstrap.dat into your Bitcoin Core application folder and (re)start your Bitcoin Core client:

Unix/Linux: ~/.bitcoin
MAC OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/
Windows: [User Directory]AppDataRoamingBitcoin (i.e. C:UsersMyUsernameAppDataRoamingBitcoin

Hint: Latest versions of Bitcoin Core require the startup option

Code:

-loadblock=bootstrap.dat

to import an external serialized bootstrap of the blockchain.

If you like to know how it works, you can check more details on the download page.
Beware that after decompressing the XY file, you need additional ~650 GB to import the bootstrap file!

FWIW, I just removed a nearly year old post with a .bitcoin directory download that would have stolen all your bitcoins.

Case in point as to why these "download the blockchain" links are a disaster. God knows how many people got robbed due to it.

i dont know about this, can anybode tell me what is this? if i download it, can i access blockchain offline? and what happens next? i don't under stand with it. what is the benefit im downloading that file?

It is used by of Bitcoin Core wallet for faster network synchronizing. If you download the blocks using Bitcoin Core itself, it'll take you days if not week to fully sync the wallet. With this, it'll only takes a day or less to download depending on your internet speed. You also need to consider your computer specs before downloading this massive-size blockchain.

Unless you have a very fast connection downloading the blockchain and importing it will take longer than just letting it process as normal, because if you download in advance you cannot process and download at the same time. This has been true since version 0.10 or so.

I've created a website dedicated to distributing various blockchains, BTC being being one of the first. I've rented a few cheapo servers to seed the torrents and I've been able to max standard cable internet connections with it.

https://blockdata.space/

A slight difference here is that each chain has a software version (currently 0.16.3 at the time of writing) so that there is no extract or import step.

Instead of mandatory payments for password-protected files, like in the examples above, better simply download one for free here: getbitcoinblockchain . com

Fresh blockchain + daily update torrents. Just unpack the contents from the first, bigger blockchain-directory to .bitcoin and then merge it with the updates from the second torrent.

I'm running my node on a raspberry pi 3 Cool

But you should send a tip to the website maintainer.

Your welcome Cool

Hi,

I downloaded the BC from getbitcoin[Suspicious link removed] for my raspi node. First of all thank you so much for this.
The issue I had is that I had to reindex the whole stuff because the blockchain loading was not straightforward and the process is taking very long. Did I miss something or is this a mandatoryry step?

Thanks again

file format:    compressed xz (containing bootstrap.dat)

Indexed with Bitcoin Core v0.15.1 on Linux (4.4.0 x64) platform.

What's new
The compression format has been updated to xz which allows the decompression of the bootstrap.dat file while downloading it. If you are an expert you can use system pipes to inject the highly compressed serialized Bitcoin blockchain bootstrap.dat to the Bitcoin Core initial blockchain loadup process.

Setup
Move the decompressed bootstrap.dat into your Bitcoin-Core application folder and (re)start your Bitcoin-Qt client:

Unix/Linux: ~/.bitcoin
MAC OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/
Windows: [User Directory]AppDataRoamingBitcoin (i.e. C:UsersMyUsernameAppDataRoamingBitcoin

Beware that after decompressing the XY file, you need additional ~140 GB to import the bootstrap file!

Import performance tuning (optional)
Instead of moving the bootstrap.dat file into your Bitcoin-Core application folder you can use the command line option:

Code:

-loadblock=[path_to_your_bootstrap.dat_file]

For best import performance load the bootstrap.dat file from a second drive to optimize i/o load during import. Using an external USB3 drive is fine for that task.

To further speed up the import consider increasing the DB-cache of Bitcoin-Core, i. e. 6 GB using the command line option:

Code:

-dbcache=6144
