hi guys sorry noob here and this thread is massive! so my apologies for asking something which for sure must have been asked along the way already.
i just got the ecc wallet, it's been out of sync. osx. made a new address. bought some ecc on an exchange and want to dump it into the wallet tomorrow, but want to be careful and not lose anything to the void! am i doing something wrong re: syncing the wallet? i know with ETH i had to sync and wait like 10 hours for the chain to sync and download etc.
thanks in advance for your time.
feel free to message me so as to not clog this up with repeat answers.
Hey,
The fastest way to sync is to download the bootstrap here
https://www.cryptounited.io/downloads/ecc/ecc_bootstrap.zipThis bootstrap will contain the complete ECCoin folder, but is without wallet.dat
How to use:
1.) rename your ECCoin map to ECCoin2 - User->Library->Application Support ->ECCoin
2.)unpack ECCoin-bootstrap-12-06.17.zip and rename the unpacked map ECCoin
3.)Put the map in Application Support (Mac) or ApplicationData (Windows) User->Library->Application Support
4.)Copy your wallet.dat from ECCoin2 into ECCoin
5.) Start the wallet
6.) If necessary do a repairwallet in the console of the wallet.
