can someone upload up to date blockchain data somewhere?
Someone a few pages back has posted a Dropbox link with a recent blockchain
I'll try to upload fresher chaindata today... I am almost resynced after whatever knocked me (and the cryptoid blockchain explorer, apparently) off a couple days ago. There is still a working explorer (somewhat) through the "Coin Info" section on cryptopia, so you can check whether you are caught up to most recent block from there. I'm 200 blocks behind as of now.
Remember you need to edit the access permissions for these three files/directories to not be owned by root but by user:
8bit chain data synced through Sept. 18th 2017:

Same error on ubuntu 16.04 build 8bit daemon...
