#Ravend runs entirely in the background, so you cannot see what is happening. The process will create wallet and blockchain files in <code>~/.raven/</code>. Subsequently, it will start downloading the Ravencoin blockchain. This will take forever ('''may take a week''')! So, what we are going to do is stop ''ravend'' after ~5 minutes and thank [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTGFgr_1P8jdiM1Xend0ELw/featured Cryptoslo] for sharing a link that a part of the blockchain already. <br />'''Disclaimer:''' I decided to trust this source at the moment of this writing. It saves a lot of time. However, if you rather go for maximum security skip this step. <br >'''Jan '19 Update:''' there is a newer bootstrap available from [https://github.com/MSFTserver MSFTserver] at his [https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xmtsciimpfk77hh/AACrYlAW2Kb-ZvsgvPCMyIr3a?dl=0 dropbox link].<br />
