Are you connected to the internet? Any useful information in debug.log?

I've the same issues, I am 21 weeks behind. Using Bitcoin Core version v0.15.1 (64-bit) on debian stretch $uname -a Linux 4.9.0-4-amd64 [#1](/github-metadata-backup-bitcoin-bitcoin/1/) SMP Debian 4.9.65-3+deb9u1 (2017-12-23) x86_64 GNU/Linux

And yes I am connected to Internet. Ports are open, I get 8 outgoing connections but no incoming.

Hi there! I'm glad I solved this problem. I got my keys out of Bitcoin core simply by using few commands(not really geeky stuff) and put them into another wallet (I used Electrum). Here you can find the example https://github.com/OmniLayer/omniwallet/wiki/Exporting-a-private-key-from-Bitcoin-Qt---Bitcoin-Core-and-importing-to-Omniwallet.org Good luck to you!

Btw I made a little mistake that after having my money on Electum I transferred them into Bitcoin wallet on my android and was caught once again into the same trap cuz this wallet also needs to be synchronized a little. Make sure it's synchronized before you transfer money on that wallet.

Good luck to everybody!

P.S. Does anyone here a trader? Can anybody help me with starting? Thank you in advance! My email is vaniaperetrutov99@gmail.com
