I have made the following two files to help speed up syncing of the blockchain for people that need to sync from scratch with the stratis-qt or stratisd wallets. The files work on both Windows and Linux.
1.
Link to bootstrap.dat @ snapshot block 676877
2.
Link to blkfiles @ snapshot block 676877
Instructions:
Option1 - bootstrap.datThis option syncs the blockchain from the offline bootstrap.dat file and takes a few hours but much less time than syncing from the Internet.
1. Download the bootstrap.zip and place it inside your C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Stratis folder. On Linux put it inside your ~/.stratis folder.
2. Unzip the file so that the bootstrap.dat file is in this folder. If you do not know how to unzip on Linux you can install zip with the command "sudo apt-get install unzip"
3. Run your wallet with either stratis-qt or stratisd depending on the type of wallet you use or the operating system you use.
4. The wallet will start importing blocks from the offline bootstrap.dat instead of the Internet and will take a few hours to import the blockchain. Once imported the wallet renames the bootstrap.dat to bootstrap.dat.old and the file can be deleted if you need space. The wallet will be synced up to the snapshot block above.
5. If you are syncing from scratch on Linux using stratisd, you need to first create a stratis.conf file that you place in the same folder.
Option2 - blkfilesThis option is if you are in a hurry. The wallet is instantly synced up to date to the snapshot block above.
1. Download the blkfiles.zip and place it inside your C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Stratis folder. On Linux put it inside your ~/.stratis folder.
2. Unzip the file so that the blk0001.dat file and txleveldb folder are in this folder. If you do not know how to unzip on Linux you can install zip with the command "sudo apt-get install unzip"
3. Run your wallet with either stratis-qt or stratisd depending on the type of wallet you use or the operating system you use.
4. The wallet will be instantly synced to the above snapshot block. As soon as it starts to find peers it will continue syncing to the current block. You can then delete the blkfiles.zip file if you need space.
5. If you are syncing from scratch on Linux using stratisd, you need to first create a stratis.conf file that you place in the same folder.
