Upon releasing Vault 3.0.0 we noticed a few things that we didn't like, more specifically a connectivity problem in the Windows build - where new Vault 3.0.0 installs had issues finding peers quickly in the CBX network. We made a few changes and compiled the new version 3.0.1, and this takes care of these small issues:

Enjoy!
Thanks! I got 4 connections now and am just waiting for my first stake now.
It seems to be taking forever to sync, I was wondering if that bootstrap blockchain button would speed up the process.
In my experience, if you're going to be syncing for some time like when you sync from scratch, try to keep less connections (use the connect= argument to, say, two peers) as too many peers tend to bombard your machine with unnecessary duplicated blocks that will still undergo some validations.
And yes, the bootstrap button will get you ready to stake tipically in a few minutes/hours, depending on internet speed and CPU.
