Goldcoin Bootstrap.dat



   bootstrap.dat

bootstrap.dat allows a new Goldcoin client (not synced) to rapidly import the initial blocks from a
local file instead of slowly downloading blocks from random peers. This significantly reduces the
time it takes to get a client synced with the current blockchain.

Simply having bootstrap.dat in Goldcoin's expected data directory will make your initial block sync
much faster. The import process can be even faster if you use the -dbcache=1000 command line
parameter which uses an additional 1GB of RAM for the database index cache.

   Extracting the bootstrap.dat.xz

Regardless of your operating system, use the following steps to make use of the bootstrap.dat file:

1.   Download bootstrap.dat.xz from mirrors or torrent.
2.   Decompress the bootstrap.dat.
3.   Put it into the Goldcoin datadir. "%appdata%/goldcoin" / "~/.goldcoin"
         (This is the same folder that contains wallet.dat and the blocks folder.)
4.   Delete bootstrap.dat.old if you want to recover some storage space.

    Goldcoin Data Folder

    Linux
Goldcoin's data directory is located in ~/.goldcoin/ by default. You can run ls -a to see
directories that start with a period. You can also search for the directory with the following
command:

   Mac
You can obtain xz from MacPorts or http://macpkg.sourceforge.net/.
Goldcoin's data directory should be located in ~/Library/Application Support/goldcoin/.

   Windows
7Zip is a free utility that can decompress .xz files, so does the latest version of WinRAR.

Click on Start then Run (or press WinKey+R) and type:
Goldcoin's data directory will open. "AppData" and "Application Data" are hidden by default in
Windows.

   Copy bootstrap.dat to data directory

Copy the bootstrap.dat to your data directory. Load the Goldcoin client and wait for it to load the
blocks. After loading is complete, the bootstrap.dat will be renamed to bootstrap.dat.old at which
point you can choose to delete it.

Great to see this coin alive.

Thank you!

April 9, 2014: The Windows 0.7.1.7 client has been updated to fix the OpenSSL Heartbleed bug.

That's indeed quite funny.

And props for the article it's real nice.

I think I'll invest a bit in this coin as well, hopefully it will be worth something in some months

Thanks. I wrote that article!  

This coin has quite an interesting past with lots of colorful characters that have come and gone. At one point, before the current team was in place, Goldcoin was probably one of the most drama-filled coins on bitcointalk.

Someone even once wrote an article suggesting that Satoshi was the original developer. lol

http://gldcoin.webs.com/apps/blog/show/26735735-is-the-creator-of-gldcoin-really-satoshi

Yes! that's the article I was talking about.

really impressive, this coin might be a very big surprise in the future with such a dev.

A pitty that it's quite silent here on Bitcointalk about this coin ( or maybe an opportunity to mine it easy for the moment :p )

Locked away behind a sophisticated firewall, a series of routers and switches, and a maze of multi-colored network cables, is a soft-spoken software developer on a mission. The goal, to take his growing cryptocurrency securely to the industry’s cutting edge – once again.

What if a wallet could be written in Java that would run on any platform? What if this wallet was open-source, modular, and supported plugins for other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Dogecoin? Well, according to Goldcoin (GLD) lead developer, Amir Eslampanah, who invented the coin’s 51% defense system, his latest creation to be released soon, will do exactly that:


This should be viewed as more welcome news by Goldcoin investors, and comes on the heels of the recent IRS ruling that saw the GLD price rise more than 50% during the past week.

This is a real nice coin, perfect name. DEV seems to be real talented as well, I saw him working on a new wallet system that would be awsome!

Goldcoin has just been added to the following exchange: https://bittrex.com/
