Linearize
Construct a linear, no-fork, best version of the blockchain.
Step 1: Download hash list
$ ./linearize-hashes.py linearize.cfg > hashlist.txt
Required configuration file settings for linearize-hashes:
- RPC: rpcuser, rpcpassword
Optional config file setting for linearize-hashes:
- RPC: host, port
- Block chain: min_height, max_height
Step 2: Copy local block data
$ ./linearize-data.py linearize.cfg
Required configuration file settings:
- "input": bitcoind blocks/ directory containing blkNNNNN.dat
- "hashlist": text file containing list of block hashes, linearized-hashes.py output.
- "output_file": bootstrap.dat or
- "output": output directory for linearized blocks/blkNNNNN.dat output
Optional config file setting for linearize-data:
- "netmagic": network magic number
- "max_out_sz": maximum output file size (default
1000*1000*1000) - "split_timestamp": Split files when a new month is first seen, in addition to reaching a maximum file size.
- "file_timestamp": Set each file's last-modified time to that of the most recent block in that file.
