Hi! looking forward to this interesting project, I am on step 6, is there any way i can speed up this process? possibly download the blockchain on torrent and be able to sync faster? currently says estimated time left 6weeks.
Would love to get started faster.
Thank You

Hi I see..
Unfortunately this is how Bitcoin works (I'm not responsible for that) and only way to bypass the 250GB download is to get the files from another Bitcoin user.
The files you need is index folder chainstate folder and blk.dat rev.dat. Don't copy everything and especially don't copy other person's wallet.dat as yours. (They will see keys inside that wallet and when you deposit there they will steal your BTC).

Another option is to get commits.db from another user you trust. That file has like 30MB but fake file could mean you would see haircombs in your wallet that aren't actually real.

Hope that helps.

Speed up a lot! less then 10hours to go, and gets faster.

Where does the satoshi go when attempting to claim? is this satoshi going to forever be locked/lost? (interesting if this decreasing circulating btc)
Is this coin stored in tx data on the first layer? so its not a side chain or 2nd layer, its a coin that lives on first layer btc chain in the tx data.
By running this edited qt client, is this also essentially running a full node for btc?

Looking forward to faucets to help distribute this.
