How to Initialize

Will need to double check the information below...

Assuming bitcoin-server (bs) is built properly and your shell path for bs is set properly, change to a directory you want the blockchain to reside within. Execute the following command once to initialize the blockchain directory structure.

% bs --initchain

Be patient and wait for the initialization to complete. Afterwards, perform the following to obtain feedback that provisioning has completed.

% ls blockchain

The following should be visible:

1. blocks_lookup
2. blocks_rows
3. db-lock
4. history_lookup
5. history_rows
6. spends
7. stealth_index
8. stealth_rows
9. txs
