Just updated the PC to 1.0.1.2 and I'm still getting the invalid checkpoint warning.
stuck at 13593 of 13599
block explorer at 3117 ?? resyncing again?
The laptop has synced on the other hand.
Both updates were done with default options selected.
Add: just did a manual clean up of AidBit folder (left only the wallet and .conf files) and reinstalled. It has done a successful sync, but reports a current block of 13601 while the laptop reports 13639!
They report different blockhash values for 13601.
Add2: block explorer now working again - the laptop is on the correct blockchain - how is it that a clean install on the PC went so awry? Going to reinstall again.
We were once again targets of deliberate or non deliberate attack. We're not totally sure but it seems that somebody with huge hashrate is trying to mine with wrongly configured stratum. At least logs show that. We've just activated pos on our charity account to keep this fork safer.
As you said, AidBit will be stronger for it. Good idea to do everything possible to keep the fork safer.
BTW, the program mini-hang that always seems to happen on initial sync that I mentioned in my last post, there might be something there to take a closer look at. Weird things with the block explorer in general where sometimes it generates very low block values that make it look like the entire blockchain is being resynchronized . . .
Actually, the BE followed the wrong fork. So I had to show him the way.
