No GUI as it runs on a Virtual Private Server.\r\nIncludes one wallet. Is limited to 50 external connections.\r\nHome compiled bitcoin-master (12/10/2015, v 119900, protocol v 70011).\r\nHave also tried the current 32 bit binary release. Same effect.\r\nIs current in having the database with blocks (379012 15/10/2015).\r\n\r\nHave seen reports in this sense before but it was discarded as an effect of getting the block database current.
