Bootstrap instructions for Windows

Instructions for a machine that did not have Alterdot installed before
Open your File Explorer and paste %appdata% in the address bar (the place where you would normally see the address of your content, like C:/ExampleDirectory).
Create a folder named Alterdot.
Download the bootstrap for Windows from the following link:
​https://github.com/Alterdot/Alterdot/releases/download/v1.8.0.0/bootstrap.zip​
Extract the contents of bootstrap.zip into your %appdata%\Alterdot directory that you just created.
Download and extract the Alterdot software for Windows wherever you want. The Alterdot folder from above is a data directory, it is where the blockchain will be downloaded. The Alterdot software itself does not have to be in there so just put it somewhere you can easily find it. Download link:
​https://github.com/Alterdot/Alterdot/releases/download/v1.9.2.0/alterdot-v1.9.2-win64-qt.zip​
Start the Alterdot wallet by running alterdot-qt.exe.
Instructions for a machine already running Alterdot
Go to your Alterdot data directory. You can just paste %appdata%\Alterdot in the address bar of your File Explorer and it will take you there.
Delete all the files other than alterdot.conf, masternode.conf and wallet.dat files.
Download the bootstrap for Windows from the following link:
​https://github.com/Alterdot/Alterdot/releases/download/v1.8.0.0/bootstrap.zip​
Extract the contents of the bootstrap file into the %appdata%\Alterdot directory.
Run the alterdot-qt.exe application. During its first run, the startup time might be a little longer as the wallet rescans the blockchain database for your wallet transactions.
