Is this for real bootstrap is 2.4 GB ? That is so large I think .
It's 2,565,076,446 bytes and contains 2,027,900 blocks. That's an average of just 1,265 bytes per block which isn't very much. Boss I am already at 352172 block and it says " 3 years and 11 weeks behind " What bootstrap I need to do ? To make sync fast . Please help Boss .

any solution why wallet not imported full bootstrap?
Did the bootstrap.dat file get renamed to bootstrap.dat.old? That's what happens when the client has finished importing blocks from it. Basically, dooglus is trying to determine if the wallet thinks it imported the full bootstrap. I had this problem before. Tried to sync several times. It turns out the torrent download I had was corrupt. After forcing utorrent to recheck, it repaired the file by redownloading the bad part. It ran smooth after that. I suggest you checksum the bootstrap file (as it would have saved me a couple of days of hassle).

Seems, from the post, that the file is now up to: Sat May 12 01:37:52 UTC 2018 In any case, you're almost done.

zazarb, Are you still running your little exchange service and buying CLAMS for fiat?
I have 1350 CLAMS that I need to sell for fiat if at all possible. (wire or check)

With such sync speed I need yet months to be done zazarb, Are you still running your little exchange service and buying CLAMS for fiat?

Sorry, I did it only via pp, but at moment out off stock even with this option.

With such sync speed I need yet months to be done So, it's taking you a week in syncing from the bootstrap file which was only 2 weeks ago? Yes, you definately have a problem. BUT... you said you see the file is the same size. This doesn't mean anything if the file is corrupt. A corrupt file is a corrupt file no matter how big/small the file is. Did you check the checksum / the current file is: To verify that you have the right file: $ sha256sum bootstrap.dat 713b93b7458e88500f1e32557f0bc58b9f05a6b13e1de31576f25f5300184c96 bootstrap.dat
and/or force your torrent client to check it.

Thanks. That's what I would have said if I was here to reply. Thanks I am now downloading it . I hope this run smooth and works fine because I really want to do staking with clams . Edit : I already download it but is this correct ? I paste the bootstrap here and restart client ? I also didn't see this : " If you are using the QT client, it will say "importing blocks" in the lower left corner while the bootstrap.dat file is imported. That is how you can tell that the file is being used. " Please help me !

That image is of your executable folder. Your wallet.dat file is in: C:\Users\(youruserdirectory)\AppData\Roaming\Clam or %appdata%/clam (For the above, I am assuming you are using defaults since you don't know where your wallet.dat file is.)

I don't understand what happened, but I would suggest stopping your client, renaming bootstrap.dat.old back to bootstrap.dat and starting the client again. It will re-read the bootstrap.dat file skipping the blocks it already has and importing the ones it doesn't have. That might work for you, but I'm not sure. I don't know why it didn't import all the blocks the first time through. Could you show the size of your bootstrap.dat file and the size of any blk* files you have too? For example, I have: -rw------- 1 user user 2097152626 Oct 31 2017 blk0001.dat -rw------- 1 user user 496629018 May 15 02:45 blk0002.dat -rw-rw-r-- 1 user user 2565076446 May 12 03:46 bootstrap.dat
The sum of the sizes of the blk* files should be about the same as the size of the bootstrap.dat it imported from.

I seem to remember that the import goes slower at the start (because the block hash was using a slow algorithm (maybe scrypt?) for the first 203500 blocks). So it should speed up once you get past those early blocks. The faster blocks started on Tue Nov 11 2014.

Could also be using a mechanic drive (slow hard drive vs SSD), etc. Glad it's a lot faster though that before.

The sum of the sizes of the blk* files should be about the same as the size of the bootstrap.dat it imported from. I did it twice adding new downloaded bootstrap, but always ends with same result. And importing of files switched to sync when the sum of the sizes of the blk* files reach ~2GB( bootstrap.dat.old have 2.37) Yesterday I download newest bootstrap 2,38 GB (2 565 076 446 ) after adding in clam directory and launch client, importing blocks lasted few minute, than again switched to sync, although I am still in 26th January. blk0001- 1,95 GB (2 097 155 946 bytes blk0002- 195 MB (204 685 437 bytes) bootstrap.dat.old - 2,38 GB (2 565 076 446 )
