Hi,
I consider running Clamcoin service providing daily blockchain snapshots because its the quickest way to get new wallet synchronized. I had to recently re-synchronize my node and it was slow and painful process. So I can imagine that it could be helpful for a Clam newcomer to get the wallet ready in shorter time.
PROS
+ Wallet is synchronized immediately after downloading/unzipping snapshot
CONS
- You have to trust that the snapshot is providing correct blockchain
So my question is
- Do you guys think its generally good idea?
- Is it actually running somewhere already and I just missed its existence?
- Are there any drawbacks I haven't considered?
Thanks
Guys, can I get some feedback? Do you think its a good idea?
Dooglus provide a updated bootstrap from time to time. I think that many people trust him and his service.
Maybe it is a good idea to talk to him.
