*SNIP*


Now. seeing my wallet beeing on the wrong chain and having problems with sync.. im deleting everything(really meaning making an "error" folder and moving everything in there) but WALLET.DAT , the exe file, the dll file and my conf.


Downloaded the bootstrap .. will report back how it went.

I was on the wrong fork too... everything seemed fine, syncing, staking and everyting. Until i checked your blockheight...

So my error was a manual ADDNODE


Renamed peers.dat  .. removed ALL ADDNODES from conf.
Restarted... now its synching fine.

I've probably lost all the staking for a cpl of days... but thats my fault imo.
I noticed when there was a problem, and i didnt not check well enough that i was on the right fork.
In addition its my fault to have used manual addnodes, and not stick with the hardcoded.

My view on lost mining/staking.

First, i see it as my responsibility to be with the right gear, software and settings and on the right blockchain.

Also mining needs to be monitored for problems and other occurances.
If you see ANY kind of problems with the blockchain, immediately STOP or slow way down.
Staking is supposed to be seen in a bigger and longer perspective.. and day or two off lost stake time should not be a problem for coins staked annualy.

What you should NEVER do:
*Rent more hash or gear to go on when there possible is a problem brewing.
*Start moving coins around from wallets, pools or exchanges.
*Fall in the traps of an exchange beeing out of sync.. by move coins to earn money on wrongly priced coins on a bad fork.


If you do any of those things.. I would not be surprised if you get some kind of problems or loss of coins.

Did it like you said and now I am full sync but about 23k EGC missing in my wallet...

All the seednodes are now verified on the correct and same chain. You will be able to resync properly now. Please clear your chain and resync. It is important the entire network does get on the same blockchain.

If you are unsure on how to do this, follow these steps:

1 Close your EverGreenCoin wallet.

2 Navigate to your data directory in a file manager program (i.e. Windows Explorer).....
On Windows the data directory can be found at C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME HERE\AppData\Roaming\EverGreenCoin\
On Mac OS X the data directory can be found at /Users/YOUR USERNAME HERE/Library/Application Support/EverGreenCoin/
On Linux the data directory can be found at ~/.evergreencoin/ or otherwise stated, /home/YOUR USERNAME HERE/.evergreencoin

3 Delete everything BESIDES your wallet.dat file and your evergreencoin.conf file IF you have and need an evergreencoin.conf. If you do have an evergreencoin.conf file please remove any addnodes you may have previously added and only use these, now verified to be on the correct chain, nodes:


If you are running version 1.1.2 you do not need an evergreencoin.conf file because seednodes are programmed into the wallet. Your wallet knows to look for them already. If you have yet to upgrade to version 1.1.2, now would be a good time to do so and I do recommend you upgrade.

4 (optional) Download the bootstrap.zip file from http://evergreencoin.org/bootstrap.zip and extract the compressed bootstrap.dat file into this same mentioned data directory. This will bring you up to block 418815 faster than having to download the entire blockchain.

5 Launch the wallet. Do not be alarmed if it sits at the splash screen for a long time. If you opted to bootstrap, it will be importing the bootstrap. Even if you did not download the bootstrap file and wish to sync over the network, it may seem unresponsive for several minutes while it finds nodes. Be patient, allow it to run its course, and do not ctrl-alt-del kill it thinking it has froze.


I do again apologize for this inconvenience. I thank you in advance for taking the time to resync. It is important for the entire network to be on the same chain. I will be available should you have any question or issue so please do not hesitate to PM me, post here, or come to the IRC.

well put ...

your points are well described - and SHOULD be what everyone should do ... including the most seasoned miner ( including myself ) and trader ...

not everyone does unfortunately ...

but in this industry - everyone should take it on themselves to proceed at ANY level - with caution ... no matter what coin or project ...

always keep your eyes open - and ALWAYS adhere to the directions ( and advice ) of the dev and team ...

im glad you caught yours while its not too far off ... i can still see so many ips being rejected ( and subsequently banned ) from the seednodes - due to the incorrect requests of the wrong blockchain ...

this is not an exact science - and as such - should not be treated this way ... yes - people invest their time and money into this - but i have ALWAYS worked on the same principle and have shared it many many MANY times before ...

NEVER invest any more than you can AFFORD to LOSE ...

that goes for ANY of the projects - including bitcoin itself ...

in saying that - tireless work is bring done in the background to reduce the risk of loss and every effort is made to make these projects as viable as possible ... this doesnt always work - and so - that is the responsibility that one takes when entering this crypto arena ...

if you are here - and just starting out OR a veteran - you are taking the same risk ... difference is - the veteran accepts the risk and minimizes the risk to themselves ( mostly ) without blaming the dev for every decision the USER makes ... and of course - moves on and forward ...

there will be issues - there will be problems - there will be hindsightedness ... but always remember - no one twisted your arm to enter this crypto space and take the risks that we ALL are faced with - dev included ... unlike most coins and devs out there - there is no intention of leaving this behind - and the work shall continue ... come rain hail sleet or snow - we will face it ...

so be diligent with your wallets and coins - and be diligent with backups and safeguarding ...

Downloaded the bootstrap .. will report back how it went.

if you have the latest wallet - the official seednodes are hardcoded into the wallet ...

the seednodes are all on the right chain - and have been servicing the network 'flat out' - and im still watching the seeds answering sync requests as i type this ...

if there are ANY nodes you need to add to the .conf file - make sure they are the official nodes ... as they are ALL on the right chain currently ...

the bootstrap does take a lot of time - and it is sometimes ( depending on how fast your internet connection maybe ) quicker or easier to just start the sync via the internet - and let it sync that way ...

if the wallet is getting stuck - make sure you are on the right chain by comparing the hash on the blocks that get posted here on occasion ...

a HUGE amount of work has been going on behind the scenes to get this all functioning again - and resyncing on the right chain will save everyone a great deal of time ...

the latest block on the seeds at the time of writing this post is below - with the hash below it ... compare it to that hash - and if its the saem - then you shouldnt be worried ... if its not the same hash on that block - then you are on the wrong chain and need to resync ...

I added evergreen.conf and it is now beginning to download the blocks but it got stuck on the remaining block 5121 sometimes it reduced to 2092 blocks and back again to 5121 blocks over and over again.

The latest EverGreenCoin-Qt is v1.1.2 (Click 'Help' and then 'About EverGreenCoin'. You will see the version listed in the first line of text). If you do need to upgrade, now would be a good time to do so. Doing so will aid you in staying on the correct chain and finding peers so please do find the time to upgrade if need be. You will only need to download the new Qt and execute it instead of the old to upgrade. Making a copy of your wallet.dat before preforming any wallet upgrade is advisable.

After that, yes, like you say, delete everything except the "wallet.dat". Download the bootstrap.zip and unzip the compressed bootstrap.dat into that data directory that contains your "wallet.dat" file. Then launch the wallet. It could take a considerable amount of time for the bootstrap.dat to be imported but, it usually is faster than downloading the entire blockchain. Allow it to run its course and import.

You are very welcome. I hope the directions are easy to follow.

Im using the latest qt, if im not wrong.. all i need is to delete "blk001" and download the bootstrap and replace it or the entire data except the "wallet.dat"

thanks

Hi I opened my wallet today after 5 days but  i found something weird  , I have 6 active connections and i was able to stake and that was ok, the problem is my wallet says out of sync which it already downloaded all the blockchain.  and it says something "invalid checkpoint found" is this normal occurrence? 

Thanks for reply

If i contact yobit im afraid yobit freeze or banned my account

Im has been contact bittrex via email but not response
