When I look through the list of masternodes, there are a handful that are active/enabled. I connected to those in my config file and cleared the wallet cache but mine still wouldn't sync. Either those nodes are completely overloaded since there are only a few, or they aren't actually enabled...no idea what's happening here, but I want out. If only my transfers to Cryptopia would confirm...

I can confirm this... I tried restarting my masternode some times... even today. Still no sync possible stated by:
$> arcticcoin-cli mnsync status
