for those still way behind. pack includes current nodes and blockchain until block 1168xx something.
download data.zip from mega. stop core. delete data/storage.json data/init-storage.json data/blockchain.dat data/blockchain.ind
extract content from data.zip to your data/ folder
restart node core
enjoy
Yes, this is very useful...
Occasionally the blockchain can get corrupted and syncing cannot be restarted... so it's great to have this resource.
It's happened to me only once...
But I suggest people backup their blockchain data folder every 2-3 days.
If syncing fails because you have no connects then problem is init-storage.json.
Well, replacing the data folder from a download solved my problem... maybe it was the nodes.
I'm more concerned about how this coin gets on a decent exchange...
Byteball had to list on cryptox.pl because it's so non-standard...
It's extremely important for exchanges to have a standard and reliable wallet.
But in line with your words, wallet has te be rock solid also important active development, block explorer.
Right now too many show stoppers as listed in the roadmap.
Would be nice to get an update of the dev.
