I installed Dash on Ubuntu 16.04 using the steps below but after a few hours block count remains 0. Where did I go wrong?

Code: 
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dash.org/dash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install dashd dash-qt

mkdir .dash
cd .dash
vi dash.conf

############ dash.conf #################

daemon=1

rpcpassword=password
alertnotify=echo %s | mail -s "DASH Alert" <[email protected]>

Code: 
dashd -daemon

dash-cli getinfo

I changed the binary but I got this instead:

Looks like the daemon is not able to bind to the loopback device (127.0.0.1) - does your host have one?
 
I stopped and restarted dashd and it works (no error).
But the block count is still 0.
Btw, do I need those files in /include and /lib? As I only use /bin files from dashcore-0.12.2.3-linux64.tar.gz

  "blocks": 0,

  "relayfee": 0.00001000,

}
 
Got it! It's syncing now. Thanks for the help.

An simply awser=>

Go on cryptochainer =>download dash blockchain.
There is an explain to copy/past blockchain, it would be automaticaly update when lanching dashcore.
http://cryptochainer.com/dir/

You can also download antoher blockchain for a lot of coins!!!
(I 've the same problem with dash core and it solve it!!!!)

In back, anybody help me on the thread of coin in read only mode?
So If you had resoled the same problems like me?

I think that dash have a good comunauty and good developpers.
 
You can also download an up to date copy of the Dash blockchain here: https://github.com/UdjinM6/dash-bootstrap
But recent improvements to the client and the current amount of masternodes means that it is actually just as fast to simply open the client and wait for sync, it happens quite fast.
