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:

Code:

### Table of Contents

2. [What are the pros and cons of using bootstrap.dat?](#ProsCons)
3. [Where do I get bootstrap.dat?](#Obtaining)

### 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.

### 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.

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! :-)

[Shuxy]

Any way that I can get my old Piggycoins onto the new one? How can I exchange the old coins for the new one?

Thank you!

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,

Coin Max Supply?

[ebliever]

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.
