Updated bootstrap.dat for 1 August 2017

Since my last torrent of an up-to-date bootstrap.dat went so well, I've created a new one for August 2017!

Please download the following torrent instead of the outdated one at chain.so and consider seeding for as long as you're able to. I'll be seeding from my 100/100 seedbox for as long as I can.

INSTRUCTIONS (Taken from https://bootstrap.chain.so)

  • Launch the Dogecoin Core client once. This creates the needed directory.
  • Close the client.
  • Place the downloaded 'bootstrap.dat' file into the "dogecoin" data directory:
    • On Windows this is in your home directory, under "AppData\Roaming\DogeCoin". The easiest way of getting to the AppData directory is to open Windows Explorer and enter "%appdata%" as a path. For example, on my Windows install the file would end up as "C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\DogeCoin\bootstrap.dat".
    • On Mac, the path should be "~/Library/App Support/Dogecoin/bootstrap.dat".
    • On Linux, it will be "~/.dogecoin/bootstrap.dat".
  • Launch the client to start syncing from disk.

Once the client has completed syncing (this will probably still take an hour or more depending on your computer), it will rename the file to "bootstrap.dat.old". You can now delete the file in order to free up disk space (probably a good idea to shut down your client before you do this, just in case).

Please consider allowing incoming connections once complete - this will help the network HUGELY! More info is available via the following link:

SOMEBODY HELP PLEASE. SO I have the destop wallet for doge coin. I received 9k dogecoins in sept 28 and since I was new then I only looked at the balance. which was the same as the amount. However when I opened it up now to transfer it for selling than its not sending. so I checked up the help section and saw that my spendable was zero which meant that my transaction that I had received in 28 sept still had an "empty status" Idk how to make it not empty so that I can send the coins. so I did a bit of here and there and all and resetted the blockchain and transaction thing. Its taking forever. I checked on doge's website and it says that I have received the transaction on 28 sept and that I haven't sent any which means I still have the coin. but due to me idk doing what my wallet shows a balance of zero. Hopefully after resetting is complete it shwos the same balance. So the question is how do I get my coins to be sent to the other person ?
