I’ve been out all day. Came back in to find my client up to date - and my coins in my wallet!
I think I just needed to be a bit more patient.
But it is odd that it seemed to get stuck for hours at the same point isn’t it. Won’t be good for promoting the coin. Most people will try to install the client and sync it before buying in I reckon. This could be putting a lot of people off.
PS. Major crypto crash just happened! Eeek
