Your clock needs to be essentially at the same time as the rest of the network, or the information that is shared between you and the network won't match. If information such as a transaction doesn't match, it won't be counted as valid, and the rest of the network won't recognize it. So, what we're going to do is install a program that checks your time against a clock that a;ways keeps correct time, and if needed, adjusts your computer's time to that time. Once there, under 'Download' click on the link under the 'Current Stable Release' and save it to your computer.

Ready to Synchronze The Burst Blockchain You have probably heard the term 'blockchain' used many times on your way to finding Burst. Basically, the blockchain is all of the records and information for the Burst network. It's the entire Burst history of everything everyone has done with Burst.

The accounts, the transactions, the addresses.everything all kept in order, and all publicly viewable. All of this information is organized neatly into 'blocks' and stacked on top of each other into a chain. What you need to do now, is get the Burst blockchain. There are a couple ways to do this, and I'll go through the easy, but longer way.

What it will do is create a new folder named burst_db in your BURST folder, and will be processing and adding the blockchain history to a couple files in there. These files are burst.mv. Db and burst.trace.db. Now, this process will most likely take a couple days, so you need to leave your computer running and connected to the internet.

This can take anywhere from several hours to days. The speed of this is determined by a lot of different factors.servers you are connected to, your internet connection, your computer speed, etc.
