This is for PatrickMacH (or anyone else who can help):
Hello, Patrick!
I tried to send this to you as a PM but the system tells me that you have blocked PM's from newbies. So, I'm posting it here.
I made a donation and downloaded the bootstrap.dat.az file from this forum thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1310261.msg55536769#msg55536769I unzipped the file using 7zip and put the resulting bootstrap.dat file in my ~/.bitcoin directory. However, when I run bitcoin-qt it appears it ignore the bootstrap.dat file and is syncing with the network from the beginning, saying it's going to take 2 days to process.
Any suggestions on how I can fix this?
Thanks!
Regards,
Chris
