So, you just got the dogeoin wallet and the initial sync looks like it takes ages?
Fear not! There is something that can speed up the process a lot!

You can get a copy of a recent version of the blockchain as direct download from here:
http://doge.rstreefland.com/
In the archive you download you will find some files which you need to place in Dogecoin's data directory. The download itself is platform independent, the path is not.

For windows you need to extract the files to:
C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\DogeCoin

On Mac it is:
/Users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/Application Support/Dogecoin
As the folder is hidden by default you need to do the following to find it (quoting the download page):

On the menu bar in Finder, at the top, select Go to reveal the drop-down menu and then hold down the Option key (marked ALT) and you will see the ~/Library folder appear. You may now select this ~/Library folder with your mouse or trackpad. As soon as you release the Option key, the ~/Library folder will be hidden once more.

On Linux the folder should be in /home/YOURUSERNAME/.dogecoin (please correct me if I'm wrong).

Before copying over the files you need to close the wallet. After you put the files in the right place and reopened the wallet it should be on a much more recent block.
If you have questions just ask. :)
