Ethereum Inventor Vitalik Buterin Meets Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Vitalik Buterin had a “brief conversation” with Vladimir Putin “at the end of a private CEO meeting,” according to a public statement by Ethereum’s inventor who confirmed he spoke to the Russian President in what is likely the highest level meeting for this space.
According to Russia’s Press Secretary, after communication with CEOs of the largest corporations, the Russian president briefly communicated with the founder of Ethereum, Vitalik Buterin, who spoke about the possible use of blockchain technologies in the Russian Federation. The Russian president has supported the idea of establishing business contacts with possible Russian partners, the press secretary said. More

I did not want to advertise this project. Simply, I believe that at the expense of such projects, the demand for Ethereum greatly increases.

Why Ethereum May Grow Higher in Value Than Bitcoin.
In May 2017, investors and spectators alike saw Bitcoin price pass the value of $2,300. This figure marks the highest peak of Bitcoin’s value in its entire lifetime. Due to the success of Bitcoin over the years, many investors have been attracted to it and other cryptocurrencies as well.
However, Bitcoin is not the only cryptocurrency that has risen in value. Another leading cryptocurrency known as Ethereum has also ascended in value since January 2017. From its original value of $8.24, it has recently gone on to attain a figure of $203, which represents a rise of 2,367 percent. More

Suddenly Vladimir Putin Meets Vitalik Buterin, Endorses Ethereum.
The International Economic Forum, which just wrapped up in St. Petersburg, reportedly resulted in more than €30 bln of investments. The final and the most important result, however, is measured not in numbers, but in the mood and attitude of those who attended the Forum and who was keeping an eye on the events and meetings held in the North “capital” of Russia.
The cryptocurrency community is for sure left stunned by the recent meeting between Russian President Putin and the founder of Ethereum Vitalik Buterin.
As commented by Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov, during the meeting, Putin and Buterin discussed the application of technologies in the country. Reportedly, the president supported the idea of establishing new business relationships following the road paved by Blockchain technology.
Earlier during the Forum, the first Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov said that Putin is really enthusiastic about the idea of building a new digital economy in the country and shared that at the moment at least three directions of Blockchain application are being explored and tested, which include the tracking of goods, building identity as well as ownership rights protection systems.

Ethereum has entered in high leveled class of Russia what we all know till now from the recent meeting of Vitalik with Putin and immediately price soared up from 0.083 BTC floor to 0.10 BTC. Ethereum has strong partners now by a group of people backed by a strong government. Ethereum will just keep growing now without any issue so still it is cheaper taking all the recent development in consideration.

When seeing what Russia did during US and French election, it wouldn't be surprising this country start to accumulate deep knowledge on internet matters.
Do you think they can start soon a war on the network? Will Putin try again to rule the world?

Is there any trick how to get the ethereum wallet synced? No matter what I try (geth + wallet or Mist directly) it always gets stuck around block 3,599,xxx. Then it starts over after some time and again gets stuck.
Log is flooded with:

Code:

Synchronisation failed, dropping peer peer=db783b11b3f11235 err="retrieved hash chain is invalid"
Lied about chain head peer=d772a91a14992c6d reported=1800085 found=1800261
Rolled back headers count=42 header=3599761->3599761 fast=3599962->3599962 block=0->0

I read from a lot of ppl with the same problem, so is the ethereum chain broken? Is it not possible anymore to sync from scratch?

As I wrote, I already tried the latest Mist wallet. It's the same. Blockchain gets stuck around 3,599,xxx. Havent checked that parity thing, but I assume it's the same.

Synchronisation failed "retrieved hash chain is invalid"

Apparently there is data missing from your database. This can happen if your PC was shut down abruptly while Geth was in the middle of writing database entries. I don't think there's an easy way our of this, the db is corrupted. You'll have to remove your chaindata 

Code:

geth removedb

  and sync from the start.

Here I already wrote it. However, I appreciate your reply, but unfortunately, I already removed the db six times and started over (with 'geth removedb'). My system did not crash, it was running/syncing perfectly fine until block 3,599,xxx and then the errors appear in the log and it gets stuck.
