Contents

1. blk.0001.dat (needed)

2. txleveldb folder (needed)

3. bitconnect.conf (for updating peers)

4. peers.dat (optional)


If You Have Ran The bitconnectCoin Wallet On Your Device:

1. Download the latest bootstrap files.

2. Find the downloaded bitconnect.zip file and double-click. This will unzip the file and show a folder named bitconnect.

3. Close and quit the bitconnectCoin wallet, (if it is running).

4. Navigate to your OS's respective data directory.

  • For Windows: C:\Users[YourUsername]\AppData\Roaming\bitconnect
    Or paste %appdata%\Roaming\bitconnect\ into the file explorer path field
  • For MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/bitconnect/ Open Finder and in the program menu select Go > To Folder and enter the above path.
  • For Linux: ~/.bitconnect/

5. Remove all files and folders except for wallet.dat, bitconnect.conf (may not have this file). Do not delete the wallet.dat file as it contains the private keys for your funds. Deleting this file will result in loss of funds!

6. Inside the downloaded bitconnect folder there is one folder and three files. Move all four items into the bitconnectCoin wallet's data directory that you just removed files from.

  • txleveldb - File Folder
  • blk0001.dat - DAT File
  • peers.dat - DAT File
  • bitconnect - CONF File

7. Run the wallet and syncing should begin at the bootstrap's last block.
