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.

Thanks for your continued support pokeytex.  Grin

Thank you for dealing with my noob questions!

Man what a difference maxorphanblocks=10000 makes! Damn near done syncing!
Hey there pokey i dont understand why it wouldn't work, but the fact i think is because if its an already synced/syncing wallet it will not work as the bootstrap.dat is more the less there to build transaction/block data from scratch Smiley
