The essential blockchain data without any private data is stored in:
If you have an empty Spectre data directoy and put the blkxxxx.dat and txleveldb inside. on startup the Application scans all trx with the private keys stored in wallet.dat. On a moderate fast PC this takes under 2 min. The application considers the blocks in blkxxx.dat as trustworty and does not validate them.
A zip file with the data is about 530 MB
See GitHub repo https://github.com/spectrecoin/spectrecoin-blockchain-bootstrap, which is used by Jenkins job http://ci.spectreproject.io/job/Spectrecoin/job/spectrecoin-blockchain-bootstrap/ to create zip archive https://github.com/spectrecoin/spectre/releases/download/v2.0.7/Spectrecoin-Blockchain.zip.
This is an issue that needs to be addressed for v.1.5 of Spectrecoin - it takes too long for a new user to download the Spectre blockchain and this will deter users from using the software. We need to dramatically increase the sync speed for new users.
