A snapshot of the Dobbscoin blockchain. Drop it in your data folder and your wallet starts up already synced. Praise “Bob”.

dobbscoin-cli stop

Paranoid? Make the wallet re-verify it

A bootstrap is trusted data from someone else. To rebuild chainstate from the included block files yourself:

dobbscoind -reindex-chainstate
