Optionals #

You can greatly increase synchronization speed by using powcache.dat or the bootstraps the Raptoreum team provides. If this is your first time installing the wallet you first need to create the RaptoeumCore directory.

RaptoreumCore Directory Locations (Default) #

Unix/Linux/Mac: $HOME/.raptoreumcore
Windows: %AppData%/RaptoreumCore

Once this is done, follow the instructions in the Bootstrap doc.

 

Add lbdn.raptoreum.com (raptoreum.conf) #

lbdn.raptoreum.com is a load balancer maintained by the Raptoreum core team. Behind that balancer is a number of RaptoreumCore nodes in different geographical location. Adding this balancer to raptoreum.conf will help with synchronization speeds.

In your RaptoreumCore directory look for raptoreum.conf and open it with a text editor such as notepad, if it does not exist create it. Inside add:

addnode=lbdn.raptoreum.com

 

RaptoreumCore Security #

By default RaptoreumCore does not encrypt the wallet.dat files, it is very important that you enable encryption on your wallet. Otherwise anybody that has your wallet.dat or access to your wallet can take your RTM. You should read RaptoreumCore Security at your earliest convenience.
