Hello,

I have a blockchain downloaded with bitcoind 0.12.1 without the patch.

Now I want to run your patched version, but I don't want to re-download the whole blockchain again from the P2P network, since I already have it. How to tell your bitcoind to make the indexes on the existing blockchain?

Just running it with -reindex seems to be enough.

Just make sure that you remove -reindex before the next time you start your node or it will try to reindex again.
