We only want the FACTS!
Dev has refused to support a coin? It seems there was the fork.  

There is an issue with this coin forking, not sure if it's malicious intent or not, but it is happening often.

I have 2 nodes running and maintaining the blockchain and a block explorer.

Explorer is found here:
http://ams.midnightminer.net/

nodes for amsterdamcoin.conf:
Code:
addnode=ams1.midnightminer.net
addnode=ams2.midnightminer.net

I am looking at the wallet code in my spare time to update the code to reduce the forking.  I hope that Keesdewit will allow a pull request into the soucecode once I finish the updates.  I have been pulled into other projects at the moment, so hang in there, an update is coming.

any update?

It's still on my list of things to play with.  The price of AMS is sliding, so I will up the priority on this.

I hope to have an update late next week.  The update will be fully compatible with existing wallets (no forks).  I would like to improve the performance of the wallet, especially on Windows mine seems to hog the CPU and disk access.

..... After that he just gone silent.
Then I started looking at his other coin, can be seen here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annxmineminecoin-100-pow-scrypt-no-ico-ticker-changed-1166593 (only 2 pages, easy read:) and there you will notice that the dev also gone silent last year without letting anybody know what was going on. My guess is that this was Amsterdamcoin, done
 
Deze coin is dood.(This coin is dead, duh)
Yep, like expected.

Same issue agani wallet stopped responding 604129 added below code to config also.
Code:
connect=184.6.147.2
connect=ams1.midnightminer.net
connect=ams2.midnightminer.net

It seems the problem with Wallet. If you can share your wallet software version for windows 7 64bit, it will be helpful

We only want the FACTS!
This is an old post, but these nodes are still online and still causing problems.

Also this node appears to be on the wrong chain:
99.253.130.167 - near Edmundston, NB Canada

Update:

I have both my nodes confirmed on the proper chain.
ams1.midnightminer.net
ams2.midnightminer.net

We need the pool operators to please contact Keesdewit or myself ( I am volunteering to help) to confirm you are on the right chain and set up your wallets to limit the spread of orphan blocks on the p2p channel.

If you have the following IP*, you are on the fork:
Code:
74.5.137.87
74.77.15.47

Obsolete wallet:
Code:
54.88.159.85
176.31.53.252
81.47.172.176

*Note: I will update this post over the next few days with new IPs as they show up in the log file.

sync stuck at 604129
any idea??

My wallets still rolling along.

What messages do you see in the debug.log file?

Error something like "EXCEPTION: St9bad_alloc " But not sure.
Here is my log file:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BztGprh5FRbAYUZ4cFFBeHVMbW8/

After 3 days it moved a little bit to 604736.


OK, I took a look at your debug.log and it looks like your are on a forked chain, that is why your wallet is not sync'ing.

Code:
receive version message: version 61402, blocks=604736, us=64.71.178.234:57021, them=99.253.130.167:61510, peer=99.253.130.167:61510

ProcessBlock: ACCEPTED

Checking the block explorer the hashes do not match for blocks 604644, 604645, 604646 ...

Then later, you restarted your wallet and it connected to one of the seed nodes and when checking the last 500 blocks that is when the exceptions started happening.  your hash chain did not match with the seed node blockchain and therefore could not sync.

Code:
Opened LevelDB successfully

I will post a link to a fresh bootstrap.dat in the morning, so that you can download and put in your %appdata%/AmsterdamCoin directory (Windows) to bring your node up-to-date on the right blockchain.

There are a few nodes out on the net that are persistently on the wrong chain, not sure if it is malicious or not, but I have got caught on the wrong chain twice in the past.

The more wallets that are running the more stable the blockchain and the coin becomes, and will eventually negate the rogue wallets on the forked chain.

NOTE: @gothikghk - I reviewed your debug.log, you can edit your post and remove the link to the debug file to be on the safe side.  No need to keep the file or the link up for any length of time.

Thanks... I downloaded it... but maybe it's corrupt?

It has been a while.. So here is a bootstrap from my Master Node created as few minutes ago:

http://crypt.midnightminer.net/bootstraps/ams/bootstrap.zip

Let me know when you tried it, I don't want to leave the file on the server.

Only contains a file named bootstrap.dat and did nothing for me it seems I don't know where to place it as there is no file originally named bootstrap.dat in the AppData folder

When you copy the bootstrap.dat file into your %appdata% directory (Windoze) or ~/.amsterdamcoin2  (linux) and start (or restart the wallet) the wallet will load the blockchain data from the bootstrap.dat file.
Here is a reference for Bitcoin that is the basis for how most wallet for coins work:

To speed up the first syncronisation we have a bootstrap available here: http://www.amsterdamcoin.com/download/bootstrap.zip

Can an up-to-date one be uploaded?

I'm having an aweful time trying to sync this thing
