+ | **Please note:** for ALL operating system types you can stop the core, delete the db folder, then start the core and it’ll automatically begin the bootstrap process… OR you can use the methods below (totally your choice and achieves the same result). | ||

+ | When the bootstrap process begins, you’ll see the popup with several 0-100% processes being completed. This may take an average of 30-60 minutes depending on your internet speed. The bootstrap servers may also fail from time to time, in which it’ll retry to bootstrap. For those with slow internet speeds, you may have trouble with this bootstrapping process. Also keep in mind that once the popup goes away, your node is NOT 100% synced - it’ll need to finish syncing the remaining blocks as a new bootstrap is created every 12 hours - this means your node will need to sync the remaining blocks since the latest bootstrap. You can 1) hover over the core icon in the system tray to view the current block height of your core, or 2) open your UI and view the current block height. You can then compare that number with the actual block height on the chain by going to exqlorer.com to get an idea of how far off your node is to becoming 100% synced. | ||
