Thanks for your previous and acurate answer. I have just created a testing coin. I guess I am at the last step - sync with network.
When running ./forknoted --config-file configs/my.conf i get this:

Sync data returned unknown top block: 227650 -> 1294061 [1066411 blocks (1481 days) behind]

Why the sync is so behind for a new coin? Is there a faster way to sync?
