Gavin or anyone else, still curious about this:
Checkpoint at block 250,000 to speed up initial block downloads
and make the progress indicator when downloading more accurate.
What does this mean? Does it contain or download a truncated version of the blockchain (well, the first 250K blocks) or...?
