I have problems with being patient so when waiting for your answer I just tried this Anoncoin procedure for bootstrap file and all works well. After I have opened Bitsend wallet with added bootstrap file started to sync but only 18 weeks behind. I have closed wallet to a tray and after few minutes opened to check sync progress and I see again 2,5 years behind. But I think this is a glitch because after that I have closed and opened again and there was only 1 year and 3 months behind. Any suggestions?
Comeon, you are alpha-tester of upcoming global goverment mechanism, you have to be patient. :3
i beleive it has taken 1 year of transactions.
Two ways - you delete all but wallet and bitsend-qt from the folder and unarchive dat file again. wait patiently and it will be extracted to traditional blockchain files.
you just wait, its only one year behind.
