After I bit the bullet and deployed an Ubuntu 16.04 vps, resynched (and constantly restarting the daemon as it hangs regularily) I am now on block # 453174.

At the same time, Cryptopia shows a blockheight of # 450962 and Tradesatoshi shows # 450909 (but says the wallet is in maintenance).

BE1 shows # 450890 and BE2 # 453175.

I guess I'll use the node list from Cryptopia and make sure I am on the same chain as they are so I can at least transfer the coins to them.
