thx Jonesd

i also LOVE  blade runner

update on above node

i could not get the blockchain beyond about 70k tall

no time to babysit had to update nodes for blakecoin / Photon : family & fix my old abe crawler

anyway / for a second run I 'tweaked' a few normal protections in the source so it will not be so particular about how many blocks it gets so fast from certain nodes (i found only two)

i will fix it back stock if i ever get the blockchain !!

i have a pretty tall (about 189К) blockchain on win 7 but i don't have a static type ip or connection to use -connect=x.x.x.x -maxreceivebuffer=999999 on the cloud node/daemon to pull it from myself

I figured it could be considered a 'cyber attack' or at least 'cyber rude' to try to rip it all from one of the two nodes...

One has only about 180k height too .....

If my tweaks don't work i'll have to try something else / guess i am adopting homeless coins like an old cat lady ...
