| How to bootstrap the Qortal database: Bootstrapping is the process of using a pre made database file to catch up to the current block height. When you first start Qortal, the core will connect to peers to synchronize itself to the blockchain, that means it will download the entire Qortal blockchain. This may take days to complete, if you would like to speed up the process, use the bootstrapped DB. Every now and then the database is trimmed so look out for these updates on Discord and Telegram etc. | How to bootstrap the Qortal database: Bootstrapping is the process of using a pre made database file to catch up to the current block height.
