I upgraded my wallet. On 1 PC it is working fine (staking etc.).
On another PC it's still syncing (2 days now).
Are there any nodes?
in brief:
- until the network is consistent again,
ONLY the main node at ambercoin01.mooo.com is save to use.
- if you suspect being already on the next fork or in case of doubt
REMOVE the following from your data folder:
* subfolders 'database' and 'txleveldb',
* blk0001.dat,
* peers.dat
if you don't remove the already forked blockchain data before trying to sync, you risk getting your clients ip
temporarily banned by said node!- backup your wallet, always do!
- custom config? you might want to rename/backup it first.
- get the bootstrap data here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.13087230- extract the bootstrap archive into your data folder.
- however, in your config file or as startup option,
there must be no addnode, just
connect=ambercoin01.mooo.com- as mentioned, listen=0 helps avoiding further connection attempts from outside (should internaly already set to 0 by using connect)
- upnp option should also be turned off, as stated earlier.
- now, start the client
IF YOU ONLY GET 0 CONNECTIONS EVEN AFTER SOME TIME, BE PATIENT!
YOU MIGHT HAVE BECOME TEMPORARILY BANNED DUE TO FORMER CONNECTION ATTEMPTS. IT WILL GO AWAY AFTER SOME TIME.and some more tips:
...this can be done at anytime anyway without harm, but
if you suspect your ballance might show some odd values, this will most likely fix the messed up display:
Just an FYI to all...
if you were caught off chain, and now you're back on... make sure you run checkwallet and repairwallet from debug window.
and keep in mind that all blocks being minted or mined AFTER tripping on a fork will of course stay on that fork... so, rolling back and resyncing to the main blockchain shows, they never existed in the first place. facing that case also means it would be a good time for the 'repairwallet' tip after syncing completed.
