I am trying to access my old coins, but is turning into a cumbersome experience.

Yes, I am using the newest Mintcoin v2.0.2.0   (MintCoin-Qt.exe)

Two paths, both *sigh*:


1) bootstrap.dat (1,851,231 KB)

the resulting blk0001.dat is 968,000 KB now, but only because I started it already 14 hours ago. So does this really take almost 2 days, even with a bootstrap offline block repository?



2) syncing from scratch, on a 2nd machine.
First there were no peers, but then I added many dozens of them from https://www.coinexchange.io/network/peers/MINT and finally got ... "6 active connections".
But now it is stuck at block 500.  2830755 to go?



About (1) no one can do anything I think. It just needs 2 days of patience - right?

Idea: Is there a MINT light wallet, into which I can import my secret keys, to be able to send my MINT ?


About (2) ... I think you/someone should try to find out what is wrong with your coin:
Please download MintCoin-Qt.exe v2.0.2.0, then move/rename/delete everything in %APPDATA%/MintCoin (apart from your wallet.dat of course)...

... and test it yourself:
MINT v2.0.2 might have an issue with block 500 when syncing from scratch.



Hope this helps,
