Title: Re: blockchain download Post by: xxxgoodgirls on March 26, 2015, 05:34:13 PM Thank you for your responses, how much does bootstrap.dat reduce the time?
Title: Re: blockchain download Post by: siameze on March 26, 2015, 05:35:39 PM Core wallet can take some time to download the entire blockchain initially. This is really dependent on bandwidth and the hardware you are running your wallet on, so a consistent average is difficult to predict.

It will more than likely be slower to use the bootstrap than the vanilla 0.10.0 I tried it on 0.10.0 beta 2 (I think 2 back at the end of 2014/early 2015) and it was quite fast (in comparison to pre 0.10.0) on a server that was pretty well connected with an SSD.

Title: Re: blockchain download Post by: rev0lt on March 27, 2015, 09:03:11 AM I have SSD and 1Gbit line and it took me 5 hours to download it... not sure why so slow.
Title: Re: blockchain download Post by: coinpr0n on March 27, 2015, 09:38:36 AM It could be a day if not more. It is a big download at this point. I would start it and check it tomorrow. Definitely more than a day (more like three or four) for me but that's because our internet speeds are a joke here. And not cheap either. Title: Re: blockchain download Post by: Hamuki on March 27, 2015, 09:43:05 AM Isnt there a lighter version for this to create nodes?
Because the blockchain is over 30 gigs now. Title: Re: blockchain download Post by: cr1776 on March 27, 2015, 09:55:31 AM Isnt there a lighter version for this to create nodes? Because the blockchain is over 30 gigs now. Not to create a full node. There are plenty of other wallets that don't need to download the entire block chain, but don't create a full node.
