what is the -bootstrap method? I just went into the directory where bitcoin-qt is but don't know what to do now.
FIRSTmake a text file called bitcoin.conf that has all the nodes (from the second post above)
save this bitcoin.conf file in the same directory the wallet is installed in
THENhold shift and right click in empty area of file explorer (where the bitcoin-qt.exe file is) and choose
'open command window here'this will open a command line (black dos window)
type in bitcoin-qt.exe -bootstrap
this will open the wallet
