my wallet stuck at block 599417 from yesterday

with 16 connections active

Do you have staking on?

okay... I'm sorry I have to clarify this...

IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH STAKING... I'm staking and mining this entire time

Don't get me wrong, I had some legit POS rewards too.  I'm just saying how else could I have forked unless a POS created a block that got rejected, but my wallet carried on anyhow.



I had the same problem this morning.  I was connected to 02.mooo and 03.mooo and staking was on.  I forked in a very short time.  Then I restored the DB and resynced with my wallet locked and staking off and I have been running on the correct chain all day.  I am not turning on staking until someone determines its not a problem or determines it is and fixed it.

Awesome, i'm getting the same proof as you guys. what sucks is i lost all 600 amber i mined last night ><


@lethax - another way to look at it is - you never really had them - it sucks but remember - if it is too good to be true - it probably isn't.

So true. I'll get over it and just purchase a bunch. It's my goal now to get to 10k min.

Fuzzbawls posted a perfectly good explanation end of last page.

So how did it fork me?  Fooled the main server and the server sent me a bad block?


correct

one thing i noticed while browsing the git repo late last night is that the acceptable time drift is ± 24 hours....thats rather HUGE!

What do you mean?
Where is it in the code and what could it affect?



https://github.com/AmberCoinDev/Amber/blob/master/src/main.h#L75-L76
Code:
inline int64_t PastDrift(int64_t nTime)   { return nTime - 24 * 60 * 60; } // up to 1 day from the past
inline int64_t FutureDrift(int64_t nTime) { return nTime + 24 * 60 * 60; } // up to 1 day from the future

having such a large variance in acceptable drift time leaves the network open to a timestamp manipulation attack...which, ironically enough, can be used for (among other things) forcing a client to reject otherwise valid hashes/blocks resulting in forced forking.

Here is an old article about timejacking. Even though it is quite old, the basic principles still apply: http://culubas.blogspot.com/2011/05/timejacking-bitcoin_802.html.

Just gonna say it... It has been a tumultuous 5 weeks with dividends delayed, wallet issues, etc... But y'all have all banded together and really made this a community Smiley

it helps when some very smart people are here to help people through the wallet issues... Thank you Fuzzbawls for jumping in, to help field some of the issues

how to fix?
What to do?

large amounts of posts the last days, so it's getting quite hard to find something within the mess... for you and anyone else stopping by now

I've posted a solution here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.13105815

but I suggest making your way through the posts of the last 4-5 pages as I do not have a complete overview myself

edit: or just have a look at the post one above mine Wink

I am very happy Smiley

And changing your AmberCoin.CONF file to this will lock you onto the main servers only:
(Modified from what Fuzzbawls posted to include all 3 servers.)

Code:
upnp=0
listen=0
connect=ambercoin01.mooo.com
connect=ambercoin02.mooo.com
connect=ambercoin03.mooo.com



I can confirm this has gotten me back on the right track.  However I did disable staking for the meantime.

Me too - as long as I do not unlock my wallet and begin staking my wallet seems to be okay. 

How do we confirm everyone has done likewise?
