The windows wallet is still syncing, 22wks to go blk 310233 Cry

Well if you started from scratch that's still way faster than mine was going. I picked up one of the last bootstraps PrometheusX put up and it had me at about 315,000 to start off. Then it took me about 24 hours just to get to about 328,000! So it was going to be weeks to fully catch up. Hopefully yours will maintain same pace and you'll have it up to current block within next 24 hours. Thanks.

Just checked and it's at blk 321915 and 15wks out. Hopefully it will finish tonight or tomorrow... Trying to get a skeleton website set up for it. Nothing like racing against the clock

Sorry , i have currently health problems.
Here a current zip of a full syncd Windows Data Folder at currently Block 483696

And for those who wanna sync by themself with a bootstrap file

I hope it will help u and for the case that i forget to upload a new zip, pls write me a PM

THANKS PrometheusX!! Mine is still syncing, it's @ 365789, 11 wks. I'm going to let it keep going while I work on the new web page.

Yes thanks PrometheusX; I hope your health situation is not too severe and you're getting better.

I downloaded the data folder you'd posted and (at first) thought that had all worked fine. Wallet caught up to the current block fairly quickly and I'd unlocked it for staking. But then it was just sitting there and, after many hours, no staking seemed to be happening. Checked the staking stats and it said I was a full day away from receiving any reward, which I thought was odd because I was receiving them right up until my wallet suddenly went out of sync about a week ago and it didn't make sense that I was needing to wait so long for newly staked coins to come in.

Then I realised that I only had about 2% of my BTX balance! Hadn't even noticed as I was just glad to see the wallet caught up to the latest block. The transaction log was still showing everything, including the rewards I received around 7th July before all this difficulty started. I checked my address on the blockchain and it was still showing the full balance I was expecting (thank goodness). So I closed the wallet, waiting for it to be completely shutdown and recopied my wallet.dat from backup. This time upon running it again I had about 15% of my balance, so it was still not right.

Decided to go to a previous backup version of wallet.dat. Now my full balance is there and it's started staking again almost immediately.

What a whole lot of kerfuffle! This is one of the reasons this stuff is still so unready for prime-time. Only that I've had a bit of experience and was astute enough to have kept multiple wallet.dat files going back in time was I able to get this resolved. A regular user who might not be aware of all this under-the-covers plumbing would have far more difficulty getting a situation like this resolved and upon seeing their balance severely reduced would probably panic too.

Given the chain takes so long to catch up (for both my experience and what MCDev is reporting) I'm thinking we need an entry in the OP to go to a page on the website that has latest files for syncing and instructions on how to do it.
