Next step: bootstrapping

Before you can fully use Reddcoin Core, you need to sync the blockchain.

Syncing a blockchain is always a time consuming and painful process. Fortunately, with the Reddcoin Core Bootstrap, you can speed up the syncing of the blockchain on a fresh install of Reddcoin Core.

This process is not mandatory, but will cut synchronization times down dramatically when used.

See instructions here: Bootstrapping.
