I think GIL may have run into the negative retarget block issue too. This is where a block is generated with a timestamp lower than the previous one (ie going back in time), which causes the difficulty retargeting algorithm to fail.

If this is the case (I haven't checked the code) mining will not be possible, and nodes may be banning peers if they receive a block they don't think is right. For example:

ProcessBlock: ACCEPTED
received block c917ebe57e73f3b2db34
  nActualTimespan = 106327  before bounds
GetNextWorkRequired RETGILET
nTargetTimespan = 160    nActualTimespan = 640
Before: 1e0ffff0  00000ffff0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
After:  1e0fffff  00000fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
ERROR: AcceptBlock() : incorrect proof of work
ERROR: ProcessBlock() : AcceptBlock FAILED
disconnecting node 192.241.136.248:64574


The retarget issue can only be fixed with a client update (hard fork)

I can't easily see what has happened to recent blocks because both my nodes refuse to sync past the very first 3 blocks...

BTW, anyone note that "RETARGET" was changed to "RETGILET" in the above debug output? Indiscriminate search & replace ARG->GIL in the source. Cheesy

Ok, so as the client somehow went cactus, basically all existent coins in GIL are frozen, this goes as well for GIL balances on Cryptsy,
I myself still have a rather big frozen amount of them on there, is there anything we can do about this at this point. -.-

Do we know what exactly went wrong with the client, why it isn't syncing right now?
Maybe new Nodes would fix the problem?

Would you expect less from Hydroponica?


~BCX~
this was not his node


You know this how?


~BCX~

Eli0t was trying to sync with 203.45.89.214,

the only node every mentioned by Hydroponica is 207.12.89.80.

managed to sync with this node BUT BE WARNED if you try and mine on it, it will steal your blocks by blocking your ip, it then checks every 2mins to see if your online until you quit. it will then work again after 5-10mins orphaning your confirmed blocks.

shame the coin was saved from delisting only to be jumped on by bad nodes and people left unable to sync

It was actually killed by a poor fork and bad development.

Hmm , from today Gil client become not sync . ( Out of sync )
There is 9 active connection .
But client not connected to the node 207.12.89.80 .

And one more .
I think GIL client is using the port 64575 for P2P .
But first post in this thread is saying 64574 is testnet port .
