So for the blockchain boost file...

I'd like to finish a tutorial video on it to accompany the next update on the client. I'm guessing it will have a new peer.dat file for better synchronicity.

So I need to ask again, after a noob installs the client and wants to use the blockchain boost file to speed up the sync process...
What would the instructions be?
Will it be as easy as the user unzipping the bootstrap file (being the bitbaydata folder) and replacing the whole folder with the old bitbaydata folder in their existing BitBay directory?

Not sure how frequently have we been updating it? If it's a bootstrap they need to load it in a special way. If it's just exact copy of blockchain files the only need to paste it in the bitbaydata directory

Is it possible to have a copy of the blockchain files held at mega or some filehosting place until we can afford our own dedicated server? or is the file just too huge?

Well there was cryptochainer.com, but the owner is MIA. Such a shame why people put forth an effort to create something for crypto and then just vanish with no explanation.

But yeah I agree, as demand grows for it, I'm sure we'll get something set up to provide the quickest solution.

I've requested these guys add it:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1378653.msg14024451#msg14024451

They offer both Blockchain Snapshot and Bootstrap service.

Nice work

I notice an altcoin bloodbath today as BTC starts to rise. Bay seems to be holding it's own though.

Always glad to help out.
