Download the bootstrap zip file (txindex is enabled for this bootstrap)
Unzip the bootstrap. There will be two folders, blocks
and chainstate
.
Navigate to your \Zelcash\ data directory
Windows:C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Zelcash
MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/zelcash
Linux: ~/.zelcash/
Copy the bootstrap folders and paste into your \Zelcash\ data directory. Overwrite the current blocks
and chainstate
folders if necessary.
Launch the full node wallet. You will see that the heights and headers are already pretty close to the current block height. This will save many hours of syncing.
