Hello everyone,
I've finally managed to get the wallet working.
In order to complete the sync, you have to use the newest version (2.1.2.0) from Github (
https://github.com/cryptofun/honey/releases - Win or quite easy compile for Linux - tried both) and download the mentioned blockchain archive couple of pages before (it stops on block 2 without the download). It took about an hour to complete sync and now it works. You have to use the newest version, otherwise the sync will fail on ORPHAN BLOCK.
TL;DR: In order to save everyone time, here is an up-to-date blockchain archive from 2018-02-28:
https://ulozto.net/!BZVVWRxGqrhs/honey-blockchain-20180228-zip
Just download it, put it to your Honey data folder (back up your wallet file!) & run the app.
thank you very much, kind man. really help

I have seen many of us struggling with Honey Blockchain errors and “Wallet out of sync” issues. I got my copy of the blockchain from honey-wallet-setup-guide-windows on coinguides, and a good Samaritan (hats off to you Gumcz) uploaded a compressed copy of the blockchain. But I’m wondering what it would take to formalize a compressed distribution on Github in the (
https://github.com/cryptofun/honey/releases) directory.
If a “formal” and (ideally) regularly updated blockchain file (honeychain.zip or honeychain.tar.gz) was available – everyone having an issue could download a copy and quickly sync their wallet.
Once a bootstrap file was available, we could then add a guide similar to the following:

How to Bootstrap the Honey BlockchainThis guide will help you install a recent version of the Honey blockchain. This will significantly speed up the task of getting the blockchain synced up so you can use your wallet.
Windows:1) Make sure Honey.exe is not running
2) Open File Explorer and Type %APPDATA%\Honey and hit enter. Your file explorer window will open to your Honey Directory
Note: if the folder doesn't exist, just go to %APPDATA% instead and create the Honey folder
3) Delete the following if they exist:
• Database folder
• Txleveldb folder
• blk0001.dat file
4) Download the zip file with the most recent date or largest block number here:
https://github.com/cryptofun/honey/releases/blockchain5) Extract the new downloaded file to the %APPDATA%\Honey folder
6) Start Honey.exe like you normally do
7) Let the wallet synchronize any recent transactions
Mac:1) Make sure the Honey wallet is not running.
2) Open "Finder".
3) Use this shortcut "Command+Shift+G" to bring up 'Go to Folder':
4) Delete the following if they exist:
• Database folder
• Txleveldb folder
• blk0001.dat file
5) Download the zip file with the most recent date or largest block number here: https://github.com/cryptofun/honey/releases/blockchain
6) Extract the new downloaded file to the ~/.Honey/ folder
7) Start the Honey wallet like you normally do.
8 ) Let the wallet synchronize any recent transactions

If others see value in an effort such as this, and we can find out how to get a blockchain bootstrap to the Honey directory of Gituhub - I'll be happy help out!
We can collaborate to create a more formalized guide with screen captures and additional details if folks are interested.
Working together we can make Honey even sweeter for everyone!
