Is there a download source with a direct download link to the xst-bootstrap file? I am just trying to download it to a server via console ... Google Drive with wget does not work, and w3m does not show the downloadlink too. It's a pain in the ass to upload the 500MB-file to a server with a 100MBit connection using a DSL line with 500kBit upstream.
Bootstrap file with the instructions is in the OP:
Bootstrap: https://tinyurl.com/xst-bootstrap
The bootstrap.dat works for any version and is current as of block 1,091,000. The md5sum of the unpacked bootstrap.dat is 954ce14c3582c9a92a7d1020b211a4fc. The sha256sum for the unpacked bootstrap.dat file is 608c0192cfa6ab110489d3767cf55f042eee4b478d63a7edd64b13cba49c9755. You will need the 7zip utility to unpack the bootstrap archive. The list of hashes to block 1,091,000 is available at https://tinyurl.com/xst-hashlist.
StealthCoin Syncing Made Easy
1. Back up your wallet
2. Stop the old client
3. Go to the application data directory (Windows: "%appdata%/StealthCoin", OS X: "~/Library/Application Data/StealthCoin")
4. Remove blk0001.dat, database (directory), db.log, debug.log, and txleveldb (directory); or just remove everything but wallet.dat
5. Download the zipped bootstrap file from https://tinyurl.com/xst-bootstrap
6. Unpack the bootstrap file into the application data directory
7. Start the new client
8. For the new client your computer will pause momentarily at 71% to fill the key pool (you may not notice)
9. The progress will pause at 91% for as much as two hours (up to 4 hours for old computers!) to validate the bootstrap file. Do not interrupt this process!
10. The chain may take 5 to 10 minutes to sync after the bootstrap is complete
11. In some cases, the client may crash either right before bootstrap or right after. If so, just restart.
