Import blockchain file

Use X-Cash Blockchain Import (xcash-blockchain-import) to import a raw file of the blockchain

Overview

The tool imports a bootstrap file blockchain.raw to your full node to be used as thelmdb blockchain.

This could be useful if you want to decouple download from verification for any reason (like testing performance in isolation), or if you have a limited speed connection. Updated version of the blockchain.raw file can be found on X-Cash communities.

For best practices, you should use your own trusted blockchain.raw file that you exported earlier.

Also note that importing blockchain.raw will in most cases not speed up the process over syncing up from p2p network. This is because usual bottlenecks are disk IO and verification, not the download itself.

The tool works on your local files and does not require xcash running.
