Synching Stuck at 495295

[JeuTheIdit-zz]

Synching seems to hang on block 495295 for alot of users including myself. I believe this was an empty block, not sure if that matters.

The temporary fix currently is to manually jump to a further block and synch fully.

How do you implement the manual fix you have identified here?

Okay I did some light digging, found under the Settings menu the option for setting the block height. Thanks for the idea! It worked.

Console error when it gets stuck:

Perhaps that rawTransaction.vout.length === 0 should also be in try/catch

I included a similar patch in the next release (along with the direct connection to a daemon) that should solve all problems.
I'm not closing this issue now only to track those bugs.
