Checkpoints

[QuinnMallorry]

Are there suggested intervals at which it makes more sense to add a checkpoint than others? For example, every thousand blocks? Every thousand days? Every release?

Question is directed at @pmitchev, but I'll accept a response from anyone with a suggestion.

Add checkpoint on every upgrade or so. We should automate this process.

Thank you for the response, this would make a good extension/export_checkpoints.json to allow someone to add it in from output, manually.

Where can i find documetnation about checkpoints? Its not clear to mew what it is / what it does and if i need it or not?

Just add a reload command that reads the config file again ?

@oliviersinnaeve KISS (keep it simple stupid). Just restarting the daemon is doing the same thing and will avoid adding more code, which have to be maintained
