I am surprised that there are not more people talking about this syncing problem. Are there people not having a problem syncing. I have been at it 2 days now and the wallet is still not caught up.

Is there a fix for the Ddos attack. Seems to me a to be a real break down in the network if this attack is not handled somehow.

There is no DDOS attack. It is a lie to cover the fact that ETHF is broken.

I found Geth and downloaded it and ran it manually. I ran it with these settings to hopefully speed it up.
geth --fast --maxpeers 99 --cache 1024 --jitvm

It is still having problems down loading blocks. Extremely slow.  All geth reports is this message over and over.

Peer 5bffd99ebd9556cf [eth/63]: timed out DAO fork-check, dropping

Is there a fix for the Ddos attack. Seems to me a to be a real break down in the network if this attack is not handled somehow.

Is there anything that can speed things up?

I am running the latest win 64 ethereum wallet and I can't seem to find geth.exe The install exe runs and I start the wallet from that but I can not find where geth is installed. Can I download just the geth.exe? The reason I ask is because wallet sync time is ridiculously slow. Is this because of DDos attack?
Try to install 0.8.2 and patch geth.exe ... or you can try to look for Ethereum Wallet in Appdata/Roaming or somewhere like this (I don't quite remember)

Or, they could just watch a youtube clip:

Yes, should only be from ddos attack.  As for the geth: sorry I'm not sure Cheesy

Hello,

I tried to install a go-ethereum wallet on server. And my wallet https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum desynchronises all the time. I really don't know what's going on.

Someone can help me ?

Thanks !

This patch is a hotfix release to mitigate last weeks DoS attacks, and those ongoing currently against Geth nodes in the network.

you can also use parity as the node this will definitely work

https://ethcore.io/parity.html

install it and create shortcut or find shortcut and in shortcut target make change

Code:
"C:\Program Files\Ethcore\Parity\parity.exe" ui

change to [ UI to --GETH ]

Code:
"C:\Program Files\Ethcore\Parity\parity.exe" --geth

click parity.exe shortcut to run it then open up mist. mist will use parity to sync the block chain and is very fast



I tried 0.8.3 with 2 different geth versions, its just dropping nodes (hard-fork check failed), now I'm trying to sync with parity, it became slow as well, about 9k blocks to sync but its going with 2-3blk/sec. 2 days ago when I could sync it to full with parity, I couldn't send any transactions with the 0.8.3 wallet, couldn't determine gas price and just aborted transactions. For days I can't use eth now, can anyone help here?
