Others have it synced just fine, and out of the handful of people that have tested the new wallet -- it syncs as well -- and this time without having to jump through any hoops like the one from a couple weeks ago.
Yep, the coin seems to go through issue after issue. Can't blame anyone for getting frustrated now.
There was a hard fork on March 22 at block 8500. Everyone needs to make sure that they have deleted any block chain created prior to the hard fork. There are still nodes out there with a starting height less than 8500, you can check this with the "getpeerinfo" command in the debug window. I think this might be tripping up the wallets and getting them stuck. I've been restarting my wallet when I notice these nodes. (I'm new at this so I'm not sure how much all this has to do with the issues) If your having troubles try deleting the block chain (but DO NOT delete wallet.dat) - if your just got recently stuck it usually works just to restart the wallet. Hopefully things will gradually improve...
