We have a Transfercoin bootstrap for wallets. Great community, hypermist, member in our IRC channel made this for us. Download it from the link below and try it out.

How to use it.

1. Download and install the Windows Transfercoin wallet software, run it and then close it.

2.Copy the bootstrap.dat file in the folder \Users\YOUR_WINDOWS_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Transfercoin

3. Run the Transfercoin wallet software to import most of the blockchain locally and then to download only the rest and synchronize the client.

Give us your feedback. Be sure to thank hypermist in IRC with some tips or twitter. @HypermistX

Edit. Corrected file path name.

Edit: Directions from here: http://cryptomining-blog.com/tag/bootstrap-dat/. Not sure if there is anything different that needs to be done. Let me know if so.  Grin

Having a hard time syncing a new wallet.  I tried the bootstrap and instructions and it did nothing.  I have been syncing over 10 hours and am still at 16 weeks behind.  I have 30 connections but the blocks are coming in so slow.  Is there a technique I should try?

edit: Just added maxorphanblocks=10000 - Will see if that helps.

edit2: ok much faster syncing - you may want to add maxorphanblocks=10000 to the OP transfer.conf?

Sure we can add that to the OP. It will also be coded into the wallets with the next release of wallets. Those will be out February 1st - 3rd.  Also Infernoman was testing sync times lastnight with new code. The tests looked good from his end, he is just finalizing some adjustments.

Edit: Hypermist said fresh wallets syncing amazingly fast, on his test machine just now. Getting 9.3k blocks in less than 2mins. Not sure why your experience would be different. but I just wanted to followup. As long as your syncing, that is what matters the most to me.  Grin

Thanks for your continued support pokeytex.  Grin
