Ordinal Index Snapshot Link

[CryptoSnowPrince]

We need Ordinal Index File Snapshot to reduce the indexing process.
We can download the snapshot file.
There may be several snapshot files as along the index flag.
It is very similar to the several blockchain node sync mode.

Doubt if you'll see an official team-provided snapshot but there is a community-provided index file for download.

But I think it should be verify officially such as official GitHub or any other social.
For example, they can add snapshot checksum on the GitHub release as along the Ord version.

We've thought about this and unfortunately the database is not built deterministically. So there is no way to provide a checksum/hash that will be the same across systems. There have been proposals to create a consensus hash #2574 and hirosystems/ordhook#223, I've commented on both but the proposer has never answered. If you would like to champion this proposal and formalize it more, I'm happy to help and review PRs though!
