Title: Bootstrap.dat on Ubuntu issue Post by: ZoladkowaGorzka on January 30, 2013, 01:23:14 PM I couldn't find any thread to help me out.
On virgin system(no bitcoin client installed) - ubuntu Downloaded client from bitcoin.org, downloaded bootstrap.dat from http://eu2.bitcoincharts.com/blockchain/ put it into .bitcoin directory even tried to run it Code: xxx@xxx:~/.bitcoin$ ./bootstrap.dat Bitcoin-Qt feature is: Quote * Import $DataDir/bootstrap.dat automatically, if it exists. I run the bitcoin-qt client and to my horror it started downloading all the blocks, which wasn't the outcome I wanted to achieve.Did I do sth wrong? What shall I do?
