`checkpoint` refers to the chain's most recent checkpoint found in `chainparams.cpp`.
Edit `chainparams.cpp` such that the only seed for `TestNet` is `localhost`.
Also edit in `seeder/main.cpp` the line after running `TestNode()`
addr.clear();
This will prevent the seeder from adding new addresses making it easier to see results.

Stop the seeder.
Note: To speed up testing, reduce `MIN_RETRY` in `seeder/db.h` to `45` and line 201 in `seeder/main.cpp` to `timeSinceLastSuccess > 300) {`.
Undue the changes any speed up changes made.

And eventually end as

after IBD finishes assuming your machine can complete IBD within two days.
