I ran into issues with blockchain corruption and the dreaded:

`Starting chain with 0 blocks...`

I seem to get this error everytime I CP a `witness_data_node_dir` around. I didn't know how common that would be, so to avoid people saying "hey this broke" I decided to go the long route and just have people create it twice.

But - It's totally possible to do it this way, and it would save time. But if you run into errors like I did, just start over and compile from scratch ;)
