 Mongo will create the bitcore db and a blocks/transactions collection automatically. These collectionss have indexes. Bcoin also syncs to the prefix set in config. To reset/start over you need to drop both collections and delete the bcoin datadir.
 
+Bcoin offers a few database types. The most ideal for our purpose is the in memory database. Unfortunately, Bcoin will not record blockchain sync checkpoints in this mode. Every restart of the client would result in Bcoin sync'ing from the Genesis block. Long term, we should consider sending them a friendly PR.
+
+Alternatively, I've explored putting mongo into Bcoin. The db interface seems simple enough. Bcoin mostly get/puts but it is surprisingly complicated under the hood.
+
+So Bcoin creates its own leveldb.
+
+### Resetting Application State
 ```
 mongo
 use bitcore
 db.blocks.drop()
 db.transactions.drop()
 
+Ctrl+D out of mongo
+
 rm -rf ~/.bcoin/chain.ldb
 ```
