I re-compiled the windows wallet, no issues. I turned it on and it didn't crash (that comp doesn't have 16 GB of RAM), no blkindex.dat error, etc.
Good!
It found 5 connections but it still didn't sync, was stuck at 0. And I got that message "WARNING: Checkpoint is too old. Wait for block chain to download, or notify developers of the issue."
It can't sync yet, I haven't put the hash-signing node on the network yet, I will when it has caught up probably in 2-3 hours. The warning, as it says, "Wait for block chain to download". Will you be here in a few hours to test when signed hashes are in the network?
Ah okay, makes sense. I don't know if I'll be here, probably not, but
