Blockchain Bootstrap SOIL 20170203 - for superfast syncing

Quote from: mb6075 on February 03, 2017, 03:53:12 AM

Node taking forever to sync and get error every 40k blocks or so that no peers are available, but continues from previous block immediately every time I restart the gsoil.exe. Will stick with it and continue restarting until synched but it will take a while at this rate. Any pointers appreciated. Thx

Yes, I made something that will help you (and everyone else starting now):

http://178.62.133.174/soil/SOIL-chaindata-20170203-block-1808086.zip

It is the whole chaindata until block 1,808,086. Just start gsoil once (so that the folders are created), then quit it again; copy the ZIP file contents into your .soil/chaindata folder (or %APPDATA%\Soil\chaindata\ on windows), and start gsoil again - and you will have 1.8 million blocks.

Three wishes:

please someone with a good upload connection, mirror that file to torrent / googledrive / https://mega.nz
- and perhaps get http://cryptochainer.com to host it ? I will host this huge file only for a short time, and only for a few downloads.
consider to give BTC 1M4EaZVprZEmtrS3G78fMFy8yGVgdUJMXv or [SOIL] 0x8da4fc05ca343e6a41646194e91931d9f413a40c - Thanks.
try out my trading tool AltFolio - and spread the word, e.g. tweet about it.

I like all the new activity here in this thread. Perhaps I should also buy some soil? PM me.
