Yes, it's MUCH faster. Put bootstrap.dat in your bitcoin-qt data directory.

new OS on a new box here, been...oh I don't know...year and a half since I have to set bitcoin QT up from scratch

obviously this has to be a tired topic so forgive me, what are the strategies that have been proposed to deal with this?  Couple years ago it was inconvenient, now it is ridiculous, couple years from now it will be untenable.

mass adoption indeed, lol


now imagine that the number of transactions are multiplied by number of CoinColors or Mastercoins, etc?

it's just simply impossible to host these extra transactions on top of normative bitcoin.
