I have seen many of us struggling with Honey Blockchain errors and “Wallet out of sync” issues. I got my copy of the blockchain from honey-wallet-setup-guide-windows on coinguides, and a good Samaritan (hats off to you Gumcz) uploaded a compressed copy of the blockchain. But I’m wondering what it would take to formalize a compressed distribution on Github in the  (https://github.com/cryptofun/honey/releases) directory.

If a “formal” and (ideally) regularly updated blockchain file (honeychain.zip or honeychain.tar.gz) was available – everyone having an issue could download a copy and quickly sync their wallet.

Once a bootstrap file was available, we could then add a guide similar to the following:

How to Bootstrap the Honey Blockchain
This guide will help you install a recent version of the Honey blockchain. This will significantly speed up the task of getting the blockchain synced up so you can use your wallet.

Windows:
1) Make sure Honey.exe is not running
2) Open File Explorer and Type %APPDATA%\Honey and hit enter. Your file explorer window will open to your Honey Directory

Note: if the folder doesn't exist, just go to %APPDATA% instead and create the Honey folder

3) Delete the following if they exist:
•   Database folder
•   Txleveldb folder
•   blk0001.dat file

4) Download the zip file with the most recent date or largest block number here: https://github.com/cryptofun/honey/releases/blockchain
5) Extract the new downloaded file to the %APPDATA%\Honey folder
6) Start Honey.exe like you normally do
7) Let the wallet synchronize any recent transactions

Mac:
1) Make sure the Honey wallet is not running.
2) Open "Finder".
3) Use this shortcut "Command+Shift+G" to bring up 'Go to Folder': <honey data location>
4) Delete the following if they exist:
•   Database folder
•   Txleveldb folder
•   blk0001.dat file
5) Download the zip file with the most recent date or largest block number here: https://github.com/cryptofun/honey/releases/blockchain
6) Extract the new downloaded file to the ~/.Honey/ folder
7) Start the Honey wallet like you normally do.
8 ) Let the wallet synchronize any recent transactions

Linux:

 =  = = = = = = (found the above guide for another coin I mine and modified it for Honey - and it was a lifesaver for synchronizing a *huge* blockchain) = = =

If others see value in an effort such as this, and we can find out how to get a blockchain bootstrap to the Honey directory of Gituhub - I'll be happy help out!

We can collaborate to create a more formalized guide with screen captures and additional details if folks are interested.

Working together we can make Honey even sweeter for everyone!

 

Hi,

Here is an example to mine in coffeepool with EthDcrMiner64 miner,

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool  <ETHEPOOL> -ewal <ETHEREUM> -dpool  stratum+tcp://coffeepool.org:5766 -dwal <YOUR HONEY ADDRESS> -dpsw c=HONEY -dcoin blake2s

example:

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool  eth-us-west1.nanopool.org:9999 -ewal 0xe4507677a075148cd2678e607d9cbec675809549.rig2/coffeepoolmining@gmail.com -dpool  stratum+tcp://coffeepool.org:5766 -dwal HcbJBbg8C73XiFG554RhEbWSvdJdcHMwmc -dpsw c=HONEY -dcoin blake2s

I will be posting instructions in coffeepool site also:

any questions coffeepoolmining@gmail.com or in honey discord
