  # 1. Specify a large set of trusted state signees

  #
  # 2. Download a signed state hash from a known location

  # 4. Download a snapshot file from a known location

  #
  # 5. Check that the state snapshot hash is correct and save it in the DB.

  # TODO or just pass a state root via command line?
