I confirmed this! It is working now.
If you start with an empty wallet, you will sync to present day.

I am not sure if I must be doing something wrong? I have a new install, empty wallet and still it says no block source available. Sorry to be a pain but can you advise what I should do next?
no pain at all!
If you installed devcoin on this machine previously, you should find the location of the devcoin software and remove the directories in that folder
For example, on my Windows 10 machine, Devcoin was at c:\users\ctya\appdata\roaming\devcoin
So I made a backup of the wallet.dat in that folder, then deleted the contents.
Finally, once that directory is clear, start devcoin.exe again and you should start syncing.
As an alternative, installing the Windows wallet from devcoin.org on a machine that has never had the Devcoin windows wallet before seems to also work well.

I'm about to give this a whirl. Would it work if I deleted everything but the wallet.dat file? I'd like to preserve my wallet file. However, if it truly has to be an empty wallet, I could at least sync up the block chain and then swap in the original wallet.dat. Would that work? Or would it be better to just import private keys into the new wallet? I'll be setting this up for tonight, so my wallet can be downloading the blockchain at night and not holding up my computer activity during the day. Please advise on the best pathway. Thanks
