Bootstrapping is a temporary fix for a network performance problem that the
wallet has with the initial sync. This performance problem will be fixed in a
future version of the wallet, eliminating the need to use a bootstrap file.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTRUCTIONS

Place the bootstrap.dat file inside of your ECC datadir and restart your daemon

Your datadir is most likely in
Windows - C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\eccoin
Linux - ~/.eccoin

Once the bootstrap is loaded, the daemon will rename the bootstrap file to
bootstrap.dat.old and download any remaining blocks from the network.

In case the import is interrupted, you can rename bootstrap.dat.old back to
bootstrap.dat and restart the daemon. It will skip through the blocks that
have already been imported.

It is safe to delete bootstrap.dat.old

You can get assistance with the bootstrap on the ECC #bootstrap slack channel.

ADDITIONAL NOTES
This method of loading the blockchain eliminates the network overhead of the
daemon downloading the blockchain. The time to load the bootstrap.dat is
entirely dependent on your system's resources (CPU, disk, etc...) In testing,
I was able to load the entire bootstrap in less than 4 hours on my laptop with
an SSD drive.

There is a possible risk of downloading the raw blk00001.dat,blk000002.dat,...
files as a bootstrap. The risk is that someone could have maliciously altered
the blocks that would put you in an invalid fork of the blockchain. Loading the
bootstrap.dat file is a better method. The reason it's better is because each
block is verified as it's imported. It uses the same verification process as
downloading the blockchain over the network.
