# PHICOIN Full Node Data

Pre-synced blockchain data for PHICOIN Core. Download and extract instead of
syncing from the network, which takes many hours.

Snapshot height: **2697135**
Snapshot date: **2026-10-18**
Best block hash: `00000000ee45f88893eb8d6e48c6b4151a4380b4b3e1a0a9ef882611089db7e2`
Built from a stopped node, so the databases are consistent.

## Which file do I need

There are two packages. They are not interchangeable. Pick based on whether you
run a plain wallet or a service that queries the chain by address or txid.

### PHICOIN_noindex_20261018.7z (1.1 GB download, 2.1 GB on disk)

For normal wallet users. This matches the default settings of PHICOIN Core, so
you do not need to add anything to `phicoin.conf`. Choose this one if you are
unsure.

SHA256: `d9249c8f7654d00b7be75930cecb4bb5a5ca6613404b9fef3088d7b68932f382`

### PHICOIN_fullindex_20261018.7z (1.8 GB download, 3.5 GB on disk)

For mining pools, block explorers, exchanges, and anything that calls
`getrawtransaction`, address balance lookups, or timestamp queries. Requires the
index options below in your config.

SHA256: `0d95625c8eb22e95a7daeb3652a9907e93b31f80c25599c82b2ec4b20911aaf7`

## Data directory location

- Windows: `%APPDATA%\PHICOIN`
- macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/PHICOIN`
- Linux: `~/.phicoin`

## Install

1. Close your wallet completely. Confirm `phicoind` and `phicoin-qt` are not
   running, otherwise the files will be locked or overwritten on exit.

2. Back up `wallet.dat` from your data directory. It is not part of these
   packages and will not be touched, but back it up anyway.

3. Delete the old chain data from your data directory:

   ```
   blocks/
   chainstate/
   assets/
   messages/
   myrestricted/
   rewards/
   ```

   Leave `wallet.dat` and `phicoin.conf` in place.

4. Extract the package into the data directory. When finished you should see
   `blocks/` and `chainstate/` directly inside the data directory, not nested
   inside another folder.

5. If you downloaded the full index package, add these lines to
   `phicoin.conf`:

   ```
   txindex=1
   addressindex=1
   assetindex=1
   timestampindex=1
   spentindex=1
   ```

   For the no index package, add nothing.

6. Start the wallet. The first start takes a few minutes while blocks are
   verified. Then it syncs the remaining blocks from the network.

## Verify the download

```
sha256sum PHICOIN_noindex_20261018.7z
```

Compare against the hash listed above. A mismatch means the download is
incomplete, so download again rather than extracting it.

## Troubleshooting

**"You need to rebuild the database using -reindex"**

Your config does not match the package. The index settings are stored inside the
database, so they must agree with `phicoin.conf`. Either switch to the package
that matches your config, or change the config to match the package as described
in step 5. Running `-reindex` works but rescans the whole chain and takes hours,
which defeats the purpose of a snapshot.

**Wallet still shows old balance or missing transactions**

Start once with `-rescan` so the wallet re-reads the chain.

**"Corrupted block database"**

The download or extraction was incomplete. Verify the SHA256, then extract
again.

## What is included

Only the data needed to run a node:

- `blocks/` block files and block index
- `chainstate/` UTXO set
- `assets/` asset database
- `messages/`, `myrestricted/`, `rewards/` asset subsystem databases

No `wallet.dat`, no `phicoin.conf`, no `peers.dat`, no log files. Your wallet
and settings stay yours.
