I guess this is is a one off fix. Thanks for the offer; I don't need support for running a node. I actually run multiple nodes for few other old good coins, just to keep them running. In the most cases that is absolutely meaningless, but well, during this crypto journey I got somehow emotionally attached to few coins (that's a nonsense, I know, but anyway), so am running nodes just to make some [meaningless] contribution.

Bullion is not one of those coins though, so I will just keep a snapshot ready to push it again if it gets stuck. More permanent solution could be if several members of this community make the small hack I described before, or better change the lockup period for their their local wallets from 6 hours to something around 24 hours. That's a easy change, but needs to be done in the source code, with subsequent rebuilding of the wallet. For Linux it is trivial, but I guess most users here run Windows wallet, so would be useful if someone builds a Windows wallet with such change (I have never done that, so not familiar with procedure).

Alternatively, if dexterw1n and other holders run 24/7 nodes, the problem will not appear again soon; and Bullion can sleep again, waiting for a brave man to pick it yup and run again...
