I am still working on few things. Everything is working fine on linux. If you're linux user and are stuck behind, please use the bootstrap from here
https://github.com/Velvet78/1337/releases/tag/v1.9.0.0 ..Windows users can use the bootstrap as well...i am still verifying few things on windows..stay tuned.
In my case it still crashing when using bootstrap with old wallet.dat, when I delete it from Roaming folder it goes through but i can't import old wallet.
In console I've got "Cannot open wallet dump file (code -8)".
The bootstrap is to sync faster. It is all blocks up to when the bootstrap was created.
If it can't import the wallet dump file you may need to import each address manually with the importprivkey command. The importprivkey command works for me.
