What?? It's alive?!  Was still in my watchlist and figured I'd come check out the last posts of the coin I was bag holding, and to my amazement the new wallet  is synching without error.  Nice job devs!

EDIT: Spoke too soon.  Stuck on block 42492.  Twice.  Second time I cleared everything from the folder in %appdata%\ShaCoin except the wallet, so it was starting from a clean slate.

DOUBLE EDIT:  addnodes in conf file fixed...

TRIPLE EDIT: ...or not.  Seems like it's freezing up when synching every few thousand nodes and needs to be restarted to resume.  It's running again now but it froze the first time on 42492 for over half an hour, was definitely hung.  Anyone else having this problem?
