Having trouble getting your burst wallet to sync? If so this will help you get the Blockchain Database

So I am new to Burst and wanted to start using all of these old hard drives lying around and start mining, but no matter what machine I was using it was taking forever to sync the wallet. Then after hours and hours it would become corrupt or error out and would have to start over.

After a couple of days of this, I decided I needed to find and download the blockchain myself. With a quick search, I found the Burst Blockchain DDL - Which is supposed to be Updated Regular 24 hours. I see the post is old, but I assume it's going to get me started.

I start the download, and it bounced between 13 to 26 hours of download time for a 1.6GB File? That seems odd. I guess I'll let it download over night. Failed overnight. Tried this morning, and now the connection times out. All I could do is laugh about it.

THERE IS GOOD NEWS. I eventually found a fast, and easy way to get this database, and thought it would be great info to pass along. Especially for nub cakes like myself. I found it while looking on the burstnation.com web page.

This link below is a direct download to the DataBase and it is super fast download speeds.

Step One: Goto This Link

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0Q42ssOM6b6eU0tVWJseW5nVDQ/view

This will take you to a hosted Google drive. When the page opens, you will see a Grey Box that says Whoops! There was a problem with the preview. It's not really a problem. There is just no preview of the .Zip File. It should look like below.

Step Two: Click Download

After clicking download this screen will pop up.

Step Three: Click Download Anyway, if you are worried about viruses, etc, just be sure to scan the database when you have completed downloading. This is the fastest way there is to get the database.

..and Enjoy!

I hope this article was helpful.
