Can you see a newbie struggling with this?

He just posted a few times in this thread... ;-)

You don't need to run a full node or even the reference implementation if you want to use Bitcoin, alternatively you can just wait for 0.10 to come out where bootstrapping should work much faster.

1200 some posts makes you local super-hero hm? This my man is a sucker punch, a kick in the head to someone who is down. A glaring gloat.. I know what I can do, and I also know what can't be done in my situation now. Yeah, I have not been following devs for years, and yeah, I just took the new source, read the change log, and went on with business. While you were real busy creating your local super-hero status. You know nothing about who I am or how early I adopted Bitcoin. You know nothing about my systems knowledge. Nor about my knowledge of Bitcoin platforms and portability. You don't know if I had a time-window closing. The only thing you know is that I use bitcoind on Ubuntu 14.04 now. And I needed (!) to do it this way. You have not been of any help super-hero. You just did some lip-gymnastics here.

But it's done now. I just made the mistake of trust. Once.

Bye.
