### Database initialization
Mythril builds its own contract database using RPC sync. Unfortunately, this process is slow - however, you don't need to sync the whole blockchain right away. If you abort the syncing process with `ctrl+c`, it will auto-resume the next time you run the `--init-db` command.

The default behavior is to only sync contracts with a non-zero balance. You can disable this behavior with the `--sync-all` flag, but note that this will result in a huge (as in: dozens of GB) database.
