Hi Panda111,

I've read through the last 20 pages of this thread. From what I've gathered:

1. The windows wallet is fucked. You'll have to use the Linux one. And it's difficult to compile because it depends on old libraries which aren't included.
2. To even sync the chain, grab the megaupload copy of the blocks from bakra: https://mega.nz/#!gawV0Qqb!Gcg-A_oRbSyDzHeFQ5s_lz98o3TGzZ7CGvzV-VqGwfI
Simply extract that archive, copy your wallet.dat into it and your 8bit.conf and place it in ~./8bit
You should now be relatively sync'd, until the next "funny block" comes along and fucks you.

And the following is from my personal experience:
Even with a chain snapshot, my fast i7 with an SSD had trouble keeping up with the blockchain.
Sending that 60-8bit tip to bakra, kept failing, I had to create an infinite loop to keep re-trying the send.
I had the same issue sending my remaining balance to cryptopia.

I don't normally suggest this, but if you're not planning to setup a masternode, just keep your coins in cryptopia. Let their engineers keep the wallet running for you instead.
The risk of cryptopia dying or getting hacked is much lower than losing the coins in this software, especially since you HAVE TO use linux, and you're probably unfamiliar with it.
Additionally, you shouldn't have enough wealth in a coin like this that you'd be upset if you lost it.

Good luck, and no need to tip me.
