Everything seems to be going well creating my altcoin for fun. I forked the BlackCoin source on Ubuntu, successfully mined a genesis block, recompiled. I bought a droplet over on digitalocean running Ubuntu 12.04, compiled my \*coind from source, and ran it.

I know that worked because my \*coin-qt on my local computer had 0 connections before, now it has 1, and my \*coind getconnectioncount on my droplet reports 1 connection.

Here is my problem, my client \*coin-qt says there are 80000 blocks remaining. Of course, it is stuck on block 0.

How can I fix this and start mining?
