Installation
In order to get things running smoothly keep the Bitcoin Core application closed and follow these steps after having installed the application successfully on your computer system.
Download the latest bootstrap.dat.xz file and uncompress (7-Zip or XZ Utils) the included bootstrap.dat file into your Bitcoin Core application folder:
- Unix/Linux: ~/.bitcoin
- MAC OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/
- Windows: [User Directory]AppDataRoamingBitcoin (i.e. C:UsersMyUsernameAppDataRoamingBitcoin
Open your Bitcoin Core application and wait until it has “imported the blocks from disk…”. The remaining blocks until “now” will be synchronized via the peer to peer network afterward.
Hint: Current versions of Bitcoin Core require the startup option -loadblock=[path-to]bootstrap.dat to import an external serialized bootstrap. Drop a line in the comment section below, in case you need help.
Feedback on success is welcome 🙂
