|
|
### Step 1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Download the Current bootstrap from https://downloads.getmonero.org/blockchain.raw; you can skip this step if you are importing the Blockchain from another source.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Step 2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Find the path of your Monero wallet (the folder where you extracted your wallet). For example mine is:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`D:\monero-gui-0.10.3.1`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Your path may be different depending on where you decided to download your wallet and what version of the Monero wallet you have.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Step 3
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Find the path of your downloaded Blockchain for example mine was:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`C:\Users\KeeJef\Downloads\blockchain.raw`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Yours might be different depending on where you downloaded the Blockchain to.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Step 4
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Open a Command Prompt window. You can do this by pressing the Windows key + R, and then typing in the popup box `CMD`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Step 5
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now you need to navigate using the CMD window to the path of your Monero wallet. You can do this by typing:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`cd C:\YOUR\MONERO\WALLET\FILE\PATH\HERE`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It should look something like:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`cd D:\monero-gui-0.10.3.1`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If your Monero wallet is on another drive you can use `DriveLetter:` for example if your Monero wallet was on your D drive then before using the cd command you would do `D:`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Step 6
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now type in your command prompt window:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`monero-blockchain-import --input-file C:\YOUR\BLOCKCHAIN\FILE\PATH\HERE`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For example I would type :
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`monero-blockchain-import --input-file C:\Users\KeeJef\Downloads\blockchain.raw`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you downloaded the Blockchain from a trusted, reputable source you may set `verify 0` this will reduce the amount of time to sync the Blockchain.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Step 7
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After the the Blockchain has finished syncing up you can open your Monero wallet normally. Your downloaded blockchain.raw can be deleted.
