I was hopeful as the resynch took considerably longer after removing that "server = 1" line. It doesn't seem to have helped in the long run though.

I was wondering if we might try an exchange to see if a transfer from a regular person may work. If you are agreeable, I would like to send you over some DGB and have you try to send some of them back to verify that I can complete any transaction at all. I don't think it is a block chain issue at this point. In fact I am starting to wonder if the actual wallet.dat file may be corrupted or something. I wouldn't have the foggiest idea of where to begin debugging that.
