Unfortunately our security settings wont allow external links on the wallet server, I will keep trying to sync the normal way.
It seems that the problem is external link to blockchain backup. I think there is a solution, but I don't know how to do it. There is a coin that has this same problem (truckcoin)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=716182.0. The DEV solved the problem using a file bootstrap.dat (blockchain bootstrap). I don't know if it would work and if the exchanges agree to such a procedure.
current backup is the bridge of 2.0.0.0 and 2.0.0.1.(block 525599).
so old and new version can use it.
I will not setup an old version node again, because anyone can do it in local.
then they should be able to get rid of external link. unless they don't have any other computer or resources to run in test mode. I cannot believe any one running exchanges without testing it first and cannot get our wallet synced. I don't have good skill about this, but if I can do it, why they cannot?
don't have ms windows? mac? and linux?
