Synchronize with a snapshot file

Sometimes is it necessary and easy to resynchronize the blockchain source to your wallet using a physical file rather than the internet to download, this saves a lot of time and bandwidth (with an up to date snapshot file) not having to deal with network bottlenecks and also assure you have an up to date version, and fast.

It is very easy to apply the snapshot and update your wallet, just follow the steps from here:

1. Download the latest snapshot file
2. Shutdown your QT or Daemon wallet
3. Navigate to the data directory
4. Copy blocks and chainstate folders into the data directory
5. Restart the wallet
6. After fully synced you can use in the normal way

Where is the data directory?

• For Windows OS: C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\ScrivCore
  
• For Linux OS: /root/.scrivcore
  
• For Mac OS: Library/Application Support/ScrivCore
  

Where to get the snapshot? The fresh snapshot is included in every new release: Scriv Releases.
