How to make bootstrap.dat work with bitcoin qt I have downloaded the bootstrap.dat torrent to make bitcoin qt synchronize faster.
I have searched the bitcoin directory by writing in the Run Application "explorer %APPDATA%\Bitcoin"
I have dropped the bootstrap.dat file in there. (other files/maps in there are, blocks, chainstate, .lock, db, debug, peers.dat, wallet.dat/
I have opened the bitcoin qt program through Start.


And the bitcoin qt is not importing the bootstrap.dat. It just start synchronizing from 5 years.

Can someone tell me how to solve this
The importing process is not instant, every block from the bootstrap.dat has to be verified first.

You could be looking at this process of verification.
