Hi!
Thanks for the information!
I faced a similar situation just a day or two ago, using 64-bit Windows 8.
I haven't had the time to test and investigate these issues at all due to more urgent tasks, which is why the automated data file downloads are not available yet.
What I do know that at least with some coins a data directory created in 64-bit Windows
does work ok in 64-bit Linux.
This is pure guesswork, but it may have something to do with the endianess of different operating systems and platforms;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EndiannessThanks again for testing it out anyways!
I hope you'll be able to get your wallt synchronized soon. I was experiencing similar troubles when I was synchronizing the Windows CDN wallet for the first time. I noticed that it would download a bunch of blocks fast right after it had started, but soon came to a complete halt. After some tweaking and testing I ended up in a horrible hack: I created a schedule Windows task that would start and quit the wallet once a minute. It was ugly but it did the trick...
The fact is that things are pretty badly messed up with the CND block chain, and possibly with the wallet software as well. For example, I can't get a fresh Windows CND wallet (with zero block loaded) initiate synchronization with the seeds servers at all. The connection is built ok on network level, but no data arrives in. The debug log does not reveal anything of use; call you can tell from it is that the client and the server greet each other as they should, the client says it has zero blocks and the server responds back with the current block count - and then the connection just remains open without anything happening.
While this is again just guesswork, I do have a feeling even the "healthy" version of the block chain may have been corrupted somehow at some point. The situation will be taken care of eventually, one way or another. It's starting to look as if a mandatory update could become necessary some time soon, but that's not for certain yet. It's a tricky situation but we're on it. =)
