I am using bitcoinJ to develop a bitcoin based payment module for my project. I have the complete block chain downloaded/in sync with the network on the bitcoin-qt client. Is there a way I can use this bitcoin-qt blockchain database in my bitcoinJ application rather than waiting downloadBlockChain() method which is taking a huge amount of time.
PS : Any pointers on how long will it take downloadBlockChain() to complete the download?
It might easily take a couple of days. – o0'. – 2013-03-16T12:51:19.560
@Lohoris Thanks. Just one quick question :If I use saveWalletToFile, the blockchain too gets saved, right? – Raghav Bali – 2013-03-17T06:47:41.160
No, it only saves the wallet, which is were your coins are saved. – o0'. – 2013-03-17T11:02:59.170
So it means every other time when I have to make a payment, the blockchain has to be downloaded all over again? – Raghav Bali – 2013-03-17T16:32:22.357
No of course, just don't delete it. – o0'. – 2013-03-17T16:51:26.393
