I think that, when the sync bug is fixed, we will have no more issues with exchanges, hence why I'm having a dev work on it, and I will pay him bounty from my wallet (and from the people who will contribute).
I could do the fix myself, I just do not have enough time.

hey man,
just reading.. what is the actual sync bug? does it halt/freeze at a given height on some nodes?
also, curious as to why you can't release a windows wallet, just strikes me as odd.
willing to help out if you can provide some details.

There is an explanation at the end of the OP.
In brief: when you sync from scratch, at times even when you already have a chain db in your data dir, it stops syncing at a certain height. When using the QT wallet, closing it may corrupt the wallet database.
About the windows wallet, I'm waiting for the bug to be fixed before releasing any new binary.

ok; yes i saw it at #161, but notice that the hash it fails on is the same in the complete (downloaded from elsewhere) chain.
also noticed both liblmdb and leveldb, is there a cutover? or is only one used.
just looking through the source now.

about the hash: looks suspicious, I will look thru it, time permitting :-)
please share the block height and hash.
