transfer blockchain data between servers

transfer alice's bitzeny blockchain data to bob via ssh

Except private key and personal data of wallet.dat, only blockchain data is transfered to speed up wallet sync. It usually takes more than four days, but this can shorten the time to less than 30 minutes.

target server ([email protected])

You must exit bitzenyd before transfering.

ssh [email protected] # login
killall bitzenyd ; killall bitzeny-qt # stop bitzenyd

mv ~/.bitzeny/blocks/ ~/.bitzeny/blocks.old/ # backup
mv ~/.bitzeny/chainstate/ ~/.bitzeny/chainstate.old/ # backup
