Hello community, does anyone know where I can download the blockchain?
Thank you.
If you'd prefer to use a blockchain bootstrap, instead of syncing up from scratch, you can use this link for the most current bootstrap. It is typically much faster to sync from scratch, however. https://downloads.getmonero.org/blockchain.rawfrom: https://getmonero.org/downloads/Instructions, if needed, here: https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/releasesUnder "Updating: Blockchain Conversion": It is highly recommended that you delete the contents of your Monero working directory and sync from scratch. This directory can be found in ~/.bitmonero on Linux and OS X, and on Windows in \Users\username\AppData\Roaming\bitmonero or \ProgramData\bitmonero. Syncing from scratch is EXTREMELY fast in this version, pretty much at bittorrent speeds, and will leave you with a fully verified blockchain. Alternatively: if you want to grab the bootstrap (NOTE: there is a new bootstrap format!) off the website then you can get it at https://downloads.getmonero.org/blockchain.raw - once downloaded you can import it with blockchain_import --input-file /path/to/your/download.raw. If you're particularly brave you can pass the --verify 0 flag to skip verification during import.If you REALLY want to convert your old blockchain: you can either use the blockchain_converter tool, or you can use blockchain_export to create a blockchain.raw, followed by blockchain_import to import it into the new LMDB format.

There are several unofficial ones, the newest being the chrome browser wallet. For the official one, depends on your definition of "near future"; I'd guess 3-9 months, which is near future for me, but probably infinity*eternity for most in crypto land.

Thank you for the quick response I'd never use any browser plugin. 3-9 is not so far away, still for the crypto land looks like ages. It does not matter for me (the GUI will never beat the terminal env ), it matters for the end users (I guess).

jwinterm probably doesn't want to hype his own project but lightWallet is one of the "unofficial" (whatever that means) ones that is worth checking out (not a browser plugin). It works either with a remote node (sort of a thin spv-ish wallet) or as a GUI for your own full node.

Correct, I don't want to hype my own project as it still is a bit buggy with TX history and calculating a balance from TX history, and i just haven't had a lot of time to put into it, but if you just want a GUI to display your balance, send TX, and see some network stats, then it should work OK.

Download blockchain.raw to your monero directory goto your monero directory, similar to how I do it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIRMM3F1jsEOnce in the folder, type blockchain_import.exe --input-file NameOfInputFile but put the input file name where NameOfInputFile is.

No problem, guess it's just habit at this point. Just fyi it was run using Python3. Apparently there are some differences with the zip function between 2 and 3, and I don't think the ascii function works in 2.

I am actually quite positively surprised by these statistics. You would expect that there are way more newbie and junior members (trying to earn a quick buck) compared to hero and legendary. But this Monero tread is like an upside down piramide. What could explain such a remarkable difference? Likely at first people join the forum for bitcoin, and then slowly realize that there is value in alternative technology as well? Or is it Monero specific because of it's complexity / really being different from bitcoin? I am not browsing any other threads in this section of the forum, so excuse my ignorance if the answer is obvious.

Perhaps a reason is that newer posters have had less time to post on this 2 year old thread. Yes there is not a linear correlation between the number of posts and the time since registered.
yet having; Number of posts by brand new members: 0 is not surprising.
