I downloaded the torrent with the entire blockchain and tried to open bootstrap.dat.
With its 17GB it is obviously too large for most text editors, so I programmed a VB.NET app to do this.
Assuming encoding ISO-8859-1, I get this rather confusing line: ""ù¾´Ù ;£íýz{²zÇ,>gvaÈÈŠQ2:Ÿ¸ªK^J)«_Iÿÿ ¬+| ÿÿÿÿMÿÿ EThe Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banksÿÿÿÿ ò* CAgŠý°þUH'gñ¦q0·\Ö¨(à9 ¦ybàêaÞ¶Iö¼?Lï8ÄóUåÁÞ\8M÷ºWŠLp+kñ_¬ ù¾´Ù× oâŒ""
Assuming UTF8 does not make much more sense either: "���� ;���z{�z�,>gv�a�È�Q2:���K^J)�_I�� �+| ����M�� EThe Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks���� �* CAg����UH'g�q0�\֨(�9 �yb��aI��?L�8��U���\8M���W�Lp+k�_� ����� o�"
Will it work if I change the encoding on this VB.NET code? System.Text.Encoding.UTF8
