After half a day running the client on Linux, compiled from github source I still see this:

root@ftc-1:~# ./spotsd getinfo|grep blocks
    "blocks" : 0,

Care to explain why it's not working. All ~20 or so coins I've compiled work fine, including some new one I compiled today. And I'm seeing invalid blockchain messages all the time with height ~2600 that are discarded (different genesis I guess hence likely nuggets).
