Hi Mike,

You are absolutely right about the synchronize time, it's one of our =
main frustration points right now and we clearly won't deliver the kind =
of user experience we want, without fixing this. Actually we were =
thinking of extending Jeff Garzik's picocoin as time permits, but the =
plan is far from concrete at the moment.

What you say about trans-piling bitcoinj is _really_ appealing. We =
discounted Java simply because an OS X JVM is no longer guaranteed, but =
otherwise bitcoinj is ideal for our purposes. How can we assist or =
otherwise accelerate such an effort?
