I'm on my fourth sync from scratch, and still haven't gotten a full sync. This one's stuck at 147126, the highest yet, and will budge no more.

Built from latest forknote sources. No wallet involved; I'll add that after (if) the chain syncs.

Any suggestions?

The daemon has some ram issues on sync which makes it stuck. Just restart the daemon and it will be fine

Didn't work in my case, but after trying it daily or so, it "mysteriously" picked up with sync continuation only today. Special case here, probably; double whammy with ISP glitches and my own connection problems. I'll build 2.0.4 and run that next time I restart.

@slb: Add my thanks to others'. Please consider posting a personal or project donation address that uses other than Bitcoin. Btc transfers have gotten too expensive for frequent use or small sums, and somewhat irregular. Since Cryptopia wallets will be open again, I figure that in the case of Bitcoal, we could send pretty much any other currency you find handy.

I added a DSH donation address. All the donated funds will be used for Forknote bounties:

Rather than syncing a Dash blockchain, I'd like to withdraw from Cryptopia straight to the donation address. ~~Cryptopia insists on having a payment ID to do so. Do you care to post one, slb?~~
Cryptopia does not require a payment ID for Cryptonote/Forknote withdrawals, but space for one is provided if the reciever wants it. My problem was a mistyped, thus invalid, address. Withdrew bitcoal to my own wallet without payment ID successfully. Both times an invalid address was used for the DSH, the funds were returned after a wait approaching a day, which I think is appropriate.

Retried mypool.name today. Still a no-go. I like Democats just fine, but agree with slb about decentralization. Are there other publicly-available pools running?

Hi guys,
Don't forget a healthy network is decentralized network. Give love to http://coal.mypool.name as well

I also received a network error when trying to connect there.

Thanks to slb for keeping the CryptoNote coins going.

Hopefully trading will be restored on Cryptopia soon.

Can the bitcoal blockchain be scanned for prior double-spending?

Can we monitor what percentage of peers are using 2.0.1.1+?

Might it be time to purposely initiate a hard fork? (Which would also be a good time to discuss the possibility of changing max coins or plotting another end game; but the choices would have to be fast.)

It may or may not take some or all of the above for exchanges to open wallets again.

All pools are using 2.0.1.1.
I haven't scanned the blockchain for double spendings before the update, but scanning is easy. You just need to remove all checkpoints and sync from 0

I am scanning now, so if errors are found..well you know what happens next

After extensive check I cannot explain a loss of ~50,000 bitcoal. Was blockchain modified? My Wallet file was corrupted. I checked from various backups, and then resynced from keys from 0. I am mining again and no problems for a week now.
Latest update of forknoted and simplewallet. as above
Ubuntu Server 14.04
Wallet is not on miner machine.

There was a fork quite a while ago, because the new version implemented some additional transaction checks.
Please all update to the newest Forknote version if you still haven't. It fixes a potential double spending issue:

Any news on Cryptopia wallets. Would like to sell some. Are there any other exchanges? The value has exceeded many other long term coins on other exchanges.

A security fix was pushed to github:
https://github.com/forknote/forknote

Issue was discovered by Monero Lab and they kindly noticed me about this case.
I strongly advice everyone who run Forknote daemons or daemons of compatible blockchains to update to it ASAP.

The binaries will be on github within a few hours:
https://github.com/forknote/forknote/releases/tag/2.0.1.1
