Title: a copy of the blockchain with a full transaction index to get started? Post by: freefurger on November 25, 2014, 03:12:54 AM I put txindex=1 in my bitcoin configuration file.
I was told the database needed to be reindexed, and then I was asked if I would like to continue. I typed "yes" and it has been reindexing for three days now. I don't know if this is ever going to stop. Is there a copy of the blockchain with a full transaction index available similar to bootstrap.dat? Would anyone be willing to create a torrent for this? This is really getting in the way of working on an idea I have :| Title: Re: a copy of the blockchain with a full transaction index to get started?

Unfortunately I haven't heard of anyone providing the index file(s) but if you do find that please let update this topic (as I might be interested in this also for testing purposes). I guess it would also be nicer if bitcoin-qt could show some progress when re-indexing (so at least you'd have an idea how long until it will complete).

I don't know if this is ever going to stop. What hardware is this? if a reindex is taking more than a few hours your disk may be failing. Just getting the files from someone else is not going to address whatever the underlying performance problem is here.Title: Re: a copy of the blockchain with a full transaction index to get started?
