There are two ways to speed up the bootstrap
1. Add more peers
start bgoldd with option -bootstrap
open this page: https://status.bitcoingold.org/dl.php?format=cli
copy the commands from the page and execute(paste) them in a teminal/cmd
2. Use the torrent with the blockchain
Is anyone making an updated Bootstrap that’s more current?
If not… can someone post how to make one? Then someone can volunteer!
Don’t use “-bootstrap”! It will be removed completely very soon. Adding more peers from the full node list is good though.
BTW, the bootstrap torrent don’t need to be updated very soon IMHO. It has >90% blockchain history. The remaining can be downloaded from the p2p network without any problem.
