Title: Speed up wallet Sync
Post by: bestbiz9 on November 27, 2017, 07:14:28 PM
I have found a 7 yrs old bitcoin core wallet backup file (wallet.dat),which I think I may have some bitcon in it  (cos I have made back of teh wallte when it has some 'left over btc' up when it had some btc @$11 and it was very insignificant amount of btc at that time )
I tried to restore the wallet,but it is now showing  6 yrs 7 months back blocked syncing..It may take atleast 3 to 4 days for the wallet to sync and update

Can anyone tell me the best solution to accelerate or restore the wallet (tried to recover on blokchian.info,but not worked)

You can always export the private keys. If you are using a Bitcoin Core GUI you can go to Help->Debug window->Console and type
Code:
dumpprivkey "1YourAddress"
You can import that key then into a light wallet like Electrum, so you won't need to sync.

If you want to continue using bitcoin core I think there used to a torrent which allowed you to download the blockchain faster. It was from a legit source like a developer I believe. But I'm not sure if this is still offered.
