Orbitcoin Bootstrap.dat
bootstrap.datbootstrap.dat allows a new Orbitcoin 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 Orbitcoin'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.xzRegardless 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 Orbitcoin datadir. "%appdata%/orbitcoin" / "~/.orbitcoin"
(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.
Orbitcoin Data Folder Linux xz -d bootstrap.dat.xz
Orbitcoin's data directory is located in ~/.orbitcoin/ 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:
find / -name wallet.dat -print 2>/dev/null
MacYou can obtain xz from MacPorts or
http://macpkg.sourceforge.net/.
orbitcoin's data directory should be located in ~/Library/Application Support/orbitcoin/.
Windows7Zip 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:
explorer %APPDATA%\orbitcoin
orbitcoin's data directory will open. "AppData" and "Application Data" are hidden by default in
Windows.
Copy bootstrap.dat to data directoryCopy the bootstrap.dat to your data directory. Load the orbitcoin 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.
