CthulhuOfferings

He dreams no longer; nor does he wake.
The Great Old One is held at the door.

Skip the long descent. The ledger of every offering ever made — packaged from the deep, sealed by hash, served as a single tar.

What you get

• The blocks/ directory — every block from genesis (2013-09-14) through ~1,147,442 — the Awakening, the full Codex canon, and the Eldersign activation included.
• The chainstate/ directory — the UTXO set at that height, ready to validate from.
• No wallet.dat, no logs, no peer cache, no .lock — just chain data.

How to use it

1. Verify the archive's integrity:

   curl -O https://23skidoo.info/bootstrap/offerings-bootstrap.tar.gz.sha256
   sha256sum -c offerings-bootstrap.tar.gz.sha256
   # expect: offerings-bootstrap.tar.gz: OK

   Checksum file: offerings-bootstrap.tar.gz.sha256 — full value ebcfaabfaf7fe237df84d2bf0351a848301609eabd406a7526b62fe4e8a0d26a, kept here as well so the archive can be checked without trusting the checksum file.
2. Stop your local daemon if it's running:

   Offerings-cli stop

3. Move any existing chain data aside (keeps wallets safe):

   mv ~/.Offering/blocks ~/.Offering/blocks.old
   mv ~/.Offering/chainstate ~/.Offering/chainstate.old

4. Extract the snapshot into your data directory:

   tar -xzvf offerings-bootstrap.tar.gz -C ~/.Offering/

5. Start the daemon. It validates the snapshot chain, then fetches every block mined since the snapshot from peers. That is still far faster than syncing from genesis:

   Offeringsd -daemon

6. Once it's caught up to the tip, you can delete the .old backups.

That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons even death may die.

Source

• Snapshot taken from a Conclave full node that also serves as a public seed.
• The OFF daemon source: git.subgenius.finance/SubGeniusFinance/Offerings-to-Cthulhu
• This snapshot (2026-09-26, block 1,147,442) is post-canon and post-Eldersign. It is not refreshed on a schedule; your daemon syncs the rest from the network.
