| # 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. |
