bootstrap.dat to help new clients to sync faster

That is cool! so you download the latest bootstrap.dat to the data folder, start normally the new wallet and sync time is much faster?
 
sounds good, is darkcoins any different to bitcoin's bootstrapping for example, could it use the masternodes as validation of authenticity?
 
I put this bootstrap.dat in the Darkcoin folder and I'm running the Testnet wallet, loading the blockchain but it doesn't seem to sync faster.
bootstrap.dat is simply blockchain files (blk*.dat) concatenated in one.
This bootstrap.dat is made from mainnet blockchain so it will not help you to sync on testnet.

Ah... and here I was hoping it could do both... lol.. Can you make one for Testnet? :)
 
Is this normal behavior when trying to sync using the bootstrap? Thanks

Yep, creating bootstrap is a pretty dumb procedure now - I'm not cleaning it from old chains (they are not that long comparing to main chain so I just save some time on that). There should be not too much of them as far as I know.
