I have a question.
I saw that everyone need to get blocks before starting to get coins.
Does it mean that these blocks are the same for everyone?
Is there a database with all of them?
So ... can I share this database with someone else to make him able to generate coins after few seconds?
I'm not sure if I have understood correctly how everything works
If I'm right ... can we share an always updated database of blocks somewhere on the official website?
I'll defer to others on whether having a central database is a good idea, but if you're creating multiple directories with the -datadir command line option, you can safely bootstrap that directory by copying "blkindex.dat" and "blk0001.dat" from an already established data directory into your new one.
