May 3, 2012 at 16:32 | comment | added | Pieter Wuille | I believe the best answer to this question is "by letting bitcoind download it from the network" (note that you can use -addnode or -connect= to connect directly to a known reliable node). Also, I have a patch ready for 0.7.0 which will allow importing a blk0000?.dat file directly, with the same verification as done for blocks downloaded from the network. It is hardly slower than downloading though, as the index needs to be rebuilt. | |
