Jumbucks Announces Official Raspberry Pi and Linux builds; bootstrap.dat fileThe development team at Jumbucks are currently working on a larger project for the coin (and one that will benefit other Proof of Stake coins) so we wanted to provide something for the community along the lines of where we are going.
We were very excited when the new
Raspberry Pi 2 came out as this new model had 4 cores and bumped up the RAM to 1 GB. We instantly ordered some to test things out such as active staking for the past few weeks and were pleased with the results. Staking works great with Jumbucks on the Raspberry Pi 2!
Keeping the hacker spirit alive, we are announcing official Jumbucks builds for
Raspberry Pi and Linux.
These are available now at the
Jumbucks 1.7 Release page on Github.
The latest upload files are:

0a747ca4dc608a043adb31147a396e26 bootstrap.dat.xz
We have also added a bootstrap.dat file. bootstrap.dat allows a new Jumbucks 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 (minutes instead of hours). Simply having bootstrap.dat in Jumbucks' expected data directory will make your initial block sync much faster.
Regardless of your operating system use the following steps to make use of the bootstrap.dat file:
- Download bootstrap.dat.xz.
- Verify the integrity of bootstrap.dat.xz with the checksums.
- Decompress to obtain bootstrap.dat.
- Put it into the Jumbucks datadir. This is the same folder that contains wallet.dat and the blocks folder.
- Delete bootstrap.dat.old if you want to recover some storage space.
Extract bootstrap.datLinuxxz -d bootstrap.dat.xz
MacYou can obtain xz from Homebrew or MacPorts.
Windows7Zip is a free utility that can decompress .xz files. The latest version of WinRAR also supports .xz files.
Copy bootstrap.dat to data directoryCopy bootstrap.dat to your data directory. After Jumbucks has used bootstrap.dat, the file will be renamed to bootstrap.dat.old; at this point you can choose to delete it or keep it.
LinuxJumbucks' data directory is located in ~/.coinmarketscoin/ by default.
MacJumbucks' data directory should be located in ~/Library/Application Support/Coinmarketscoin/.
WindowsGo to Start>Run (or press WinKey+R) and run: explorer %APPDATA%\Coinmarketscoin
Jumbucks' data directory will open. "AppData" and "Application Data" are hidden by default in Windows.

Jumbucks is a Fair Launch cryptocurrency which launched without an IPO and with zero premine. Jumbucks currently runs as 100% Proof of Stake, and is currently traded on Bittrex, Cryptsy and will be available at launch on the upcoming AltMarket.com. Find out more information at
