I did put the bootstrap in like the Annoucement thread stated but now the wallet doesn't get displayed. Is there something you're leaving out, like deleting the previous blockchain file?
In the .zip file is Using_bootstrap_dat.md which contains: ### Table of Contents 1. [What is bootstrap.dat?](#What)<br /> 2. [What are the pros and cons of using bootstrap.dat?](#ProsCons) 3. [Where do I get bootstrap.dat?](#Obtaining) 4. [How do I know I can trust the bootstrap.dat I downloaded?](#Trust) 5. [How do I use bootstrap.dat with btcd?](#Importing)
<a name="What" /> ### 1. What is bootstrap.dat?
It is a flat, binary file containing bitcoin blockchain data starting from the genesis block and continuing through a relatively recent block height depending on the last time it was updated.
See [this](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=145386.0) thread on bitcointalk for more details.
**NOTE:** Using bootstrap.dat is entirely optional. Btcd will download the block chain from other peers through the Bitcoin protocol with no extra configuration needed.
<a name="ProsCons" /> ### 2. What are the pros and cons of using bootstrap.dat?
Pros: - Typically accelerates the initial process of bringing up a new node as it downloads from public P2P nodes and generally is able to achieve faster download speeds - It is particularly beneficial when bringing up multiple nodes as you only need to download the data once
Cons: - Requires you to setup and configure a torrent client if you don't already have one available - Requires roughly twice as much disk space since you'll need the flat file as well as the imported database
<a name="Obtaining" /> ### 3. Where do I get bootstrap.dat?
The bootstrap.dat file is made available via a the Piggy-Coin.com website. See [this](vhttps://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=633803.msg15620760#msg15620760) thread on bitcointalk for the download details.
<a name="Trust" /> ### 4. How do I know I can trust the bootstrap.dat I downloaded?
You don't need to trust the file as the `addblock` utility verifies every block using the same rules that are used when downloading the block chain normally through the Bitcoin protocol. Additionally, the chain rules contain hard-coded checkpoints for the known-good block chain at periodic intervals. This ensures that not only is it a valid chain, but it is the same chain that everyone else is using.
<a name="Importing" /> ### 5. How do I use bootstrap.dat with btcd?
Extract bootstrap.dat Linux xz -d bootstrap.dat.zip Mac You can obtain xz from MacPorts or http://macpkg.sourceforge.net/. Windows 7Zip is a free utility that can decompress .zip files. The latest version of WinRAR also supports .zip files. Copy bootstrap.dat to data directory Copy bootstrap.dat to your data directory. After Piggycoin has used bootstrap.dat, the file will be renamed to bootstrap.dat.old; at this point you can choose to delete it or keep it. Linux Piggycoin's data directory is located in ~/.newpiggycoin/ by default. You can run ls -a to see directories that start with a dot. You can also search for the directory with the following command: find / -name wallet.dat -print 2>/dev/null Mac Piggycoin's data directory should be located in ~/Library/Application Support/newpiggycoin/. Windows Go to Start>Run (or press WinKey+R) and run: explorer %APPDATA%\newpiggycoin Piggycoin's data directory will open. "AppData" and "Application Data" are hidden by default in Windows. Data directory location Operating system Default data directory location Typical path to configuration file Linux $HOME/.newpiggycoin/ /home/<username>/.newpiggycoin/newpiggycoin.conf Mac $HOME/Library/Application Support/newpiggycoin/ /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/newpiggycoin/newpiggycoin.conf Windows %APPDATA%\newpiggycoin\ XP -- C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\newpiggycoin\newpiggycoin.conf Vista, 7 -- C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\newpiggycoin\newpiggycoin.conf

Was the founder of piggycoin a child or an old brat? By doing some ideas or with no reality whatever

neurocis. Thanks. I did find that, and the wallet wasn't gaining visual capacity on the screen. It just stayed in the background, or had a silhouette of it with no detail. Is that the normal state? I went back to just letting it sync as is out of the box by deleting bootstrap.

Yeah, like most forks of that era the piggy wallet bootstrap suffers from a poor UX during load. Watching the debug.log is the way to monitor it. neurocis.

i just bought piggy like how many piggys i need to stake to get like 10,000 a day from staking? Well let's see. 10,000 a day is 3,650,000 a year. Piggy provides a 3% interest rate (annual), so to get 3,650,000 a year you're going to need... 121,666,667 PIGGY. About 1/4 of all PIGGY in existence. Oink! :-)

If you are talking about the old proof-of-work PIG, that had addresses beginning with 6 and 7, sorry, you're far, far too late! The swap period lasted over a year and ended long ago! Commiserations, Mo

Coin Max Supply?
It's a PoS coin, so there is no mining on it now. In theory there is 3% growth from staking, but it's been running closer to 1% annually in practice (at least it did when I tracked it carefully, and it seems to still be in that ballpark), due to people not staking or having their coins on exchanges.

That's right ^(oo)^ Actually there is also a maximum coin supply of 1 billion PIGGY in the code. When that is hit, people will just stake for the transaction fees. Right now we are still below 500 million so it'll take a long time to reach that limit. Welcome Etherum Base Market at Novaexchange more than just a Moon, Dogecoin Piggycoin,and Bitcoin Market Now TradingNewest Trading Pair for Piggycoin Välkommen Glad att du är här
