I've synced around 170k blocks in 24 hours, at this rate it will take me over 10 days to sync the whole 1.9m blocks.
Is it just me or is this normal?
It can definitely get tricky. I would follow the bootstrap instructions from the op if I were you.
OP doesn't provide any info for me
linux VPS, and I can't even find the data folder.
Can anyone elaborate for me? The syncing is becoming painful
Specifically the data directory should be named .HyperStake and located under the home directory. "ls -ah" should show it there. I hope you get it syncing.
To quote OP:
Syncing Notice: When syncing the chain, the client can get stuck occasionally and need to be restarted in order to continue syncing. Please consider using the bootstrap for the quickest sync.
Block Chain Bootstrap
Bootstrap file updated every hour -
http://hyperstrap.ml/ Usage: extract bootstrap.dat into data directory (for Windows go to "run" and type in %appdata% and find HyperStake folder), remove blkindex.dat and blk0001.dat. When you fire up your QT wallet, it will automatically detect the bootstrap and begin to work. Bootstrapping may take an hour or two depending on the machine, please be patient, the bootstrap happens from the splashscreen, and clicking on it while bootstrapping may cause it to quit. Please note that it is common for the bootstrap to load 90k or so blocks at a time and jump out of bootstrap mode. If you client does this, simply turn it off. Go back to your datadir and rename bootstrap.dat.old to bootstrap.dat and restart your client, it will pick up where it left off.
If you are using the daemon you will need to enter the following startup switch: ./hyperstaked -loadblock=bootstrap.dat
