I've finally come to getting Insight sync the Minerals block chain ~1 MByte (4031 blocks) of it for testing
It's more work than I expected and I had to find required parameters at the core of the genesis block using the wallet daemon, base58.h and main.cpp from the source code.
Code:
INSIGHT_NETWORK="livenet" node insight.js

Front-end can't seem to connect to back-end for some reason. Some troubleshooting required. But first things first: a good night's rest.
