That is great news! I just finally got my own wallet working again after three or four attempts to delete and then redownload the block chain. What finally did it was manually adding receiver files 69 and 70 to the receiver folder. The wallet seemed to get hung up in at least one spot, but I let it run and after being out for a few hours the wallet was completely synced when I returned.

Devcoin wasn't delisted on CoinGather. Here is an update from the chatbox.

Looks like they'll put the wallet back online once the network gets fixed.

Maybe I'm missing some key detail on how Devcoin's wallet and blockchain function vs Bitcoin and other currencies, but why does having these receiver_XX files missing cause block sync to stall/fail? Aren't the files supposed to download and mirror automatically?

They are manually mirrored (I run one of them). As to why they're not downloading, though, I'm unsure. The mirrors are all up as far as I can tell, and this is something that never happened prior to Receiver_69

That's never happened before. Normally the receiver files get added to the right folder automatically.

Any news on if CoinGather got its wallet fixed?

receiver_0 through receiver_ 68 auto-downloaded successfully and got added to .devcoin/receiver. The specific error that devcoin-qt output was along the lines of 'error in receiver.h: refused to write receiver_69.csv because it was blank'. Blockchain syncing stalled at that point. Manually fetching receiver_69 and receiver_70 from Github allowed the blockchain sync to finish, after restarting the wallet.
