you got me worried so i'm doing a full resync from scratch in an ubuntu client and a windows client as well.
This will take a long time, I suppose. The chain is extremely hard to resync. Would be nice if there were other members with fresh chains, so I could put it on the homepage for download.
the wallet is getting many connections which is a good thing i assume but yes it will take weeks. although we re not in a hurry.
we're like 5 people in here....cant label it as "community"
if somehow we could make/port old games (coin ops - tetris, double dragon, you know mame32 stuff for younger people) and the coin would be 8bit i can see a use case for this but its more wishful thinking than an actual idea that can be implemented since you can get all that for free.
