Updated the example-linearize.cfg file to include support for the regtest chain network config which is used by the ./linearize-data.py Problem: Without the regtest magic, genesis hash and path config, the `linearize-data.py` script cannot generate a bootstrap.dat file. Example of error: ./linearize-data.py ./linearize.cfg Read 102 hashes Genesis block not found in hashlist Solution: Added netmagic, genesis and input example parameters to file. Resolution 1. Starting bitcoind in regtest mode 2. bitcoin-cli generatetoaddress 101 $(bitcoin-cli getnewaddress) 3. ./linearize-hashes.py ./linearize.cfg > ./hashlist.txt 4. ./linearize-data.py ./linearize.cfg Example after fix: $ ./linearize-data.py ./linearize.cfg Read 102 hashes Input file /Users/gr0kchain/.bitcoin/regtest/blocks/blk00000.dat Output file /Users/gr0kchain/Downloads/bootstrap.dat Done (102 blocks written)
