What do you mean how to generate it ? It's like windows as far as I know . you simply download the Bootstrap.dat from a torrent and place it on Bitcoin Directory once you run your Bitcoin Core client , It start importing from Disk and split that file into other files (blocks) . ~ Madness Title: Re: How do I generate a bootstrap.dat file on Linux?

But now we no longer need it. With version 0.10, we now have headers-first download, so it no longer matters. It's now about as fast to download using the bitcoin client as it is via bittorrent. |
