Hi Steven
I just checked the block height (as I now routinely do!) and I noticed that there is a different figure on each of the two block explorers.
SLG in-house explorer gives block height of 869750, which agrees with my wallet.
chainz.info give a figure of 869666.
Can you explain the discrepancy?

I just checked out chainz.info and, sure enough, SLG is live!

I am pleased to announce, Sterlingcoin will be added to cryptoid.info in the near future. Whilst the holidays may cause a delay, we are on the waiting list for implementation on cryptoid.info's blockchain explorer services. A full year of the service was paid for.
The explorer at transactions.sterlingcoin.org will continue, also. This is not done to replace that explorer, but is a cost effective way to bolster our network a little, while giving Sterlingcoiners the added insight and features cryptoid.info's services will provide.
ETA: 1 month or shortly after the new year. Though, the prompt payment in-full may help.

Thanks for doing this, Steven. I'm a fan of cryptoid.info, it's easily the best multi-coin block explorer out there.
And it's always a good idea to have two explorers anyway, in case either one has an issue and has to go offline for a while.
This will be a very welcome Christmas present for the entire Sterlingcoin community when it goes live.
Thanks again, and well done.

Good afternoon. Tell me what to do if the wallet is not synchronized? 
Good afternoon, Alex.
Wait for it to syncronize. It can take some time. Leave it running and allow it to run its course.
Watch the block height to be sure it is increasing and watch the number of connections to be sure it remains with peers.
Alternatively, you could snapshot the blockchain. For more info on that, https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.24277920 but if you have already started to sync, that might not be the best. More times than not, applying more time is the solution.
I hope this helps.

Hello
1. How do you know if you are on a fork.
2. What is the Telegram address?

Hello oneoff,
Entering the faucet, faucet.sterlingcoin.org, often is an easy way to routinely check, now that it has been sorted. But sometimes waiting until payout might not be an option.
The fastest way is to compare your block height to that of the explorer's, transactions.sterlingcoin.org and the difficulty. If you are at the same height with the same difficulty, you most likely are on the correct blockchain. Although, to be sure, check that the block hash is the same for that highest block. To check the block hash in the explorer, click on the block number. After clicking the block number, you will see "SLG block:" followed by the hash. Use your in-wallet explorer to verify you have the same hash.
It is a bit misleading on the initial page of the explorer because it presents what is actually a tx hash as the block hash. Don't let that mislead you as the block hash of that block number. We apologize for this confusion and are working on a resolution.
The telegram group is t.me/Sterlingcoin.
If you find you have forked, recent snapshots have been posted on the previous page to get you up-to-sync and back to staking quickly.
Apologies for any inconvenience.

I'm delighted with this British coin! This is the best coin I found for such a low price! As far as possible, I buy a Sterlingcoin. 
Thank you for the kind words and thank you for investing in Sterlingcoin.
when will the faucet reactive again?
Soon. Sorry the time has yet to be found. It will be addressed ASAP. Apologies for the outage.
The faucet is now reopened, faucet.sterlingcoin.org
To fend off system abuse, you must now "prove you're a Sterlingcoiner".
Enjoy.

Yesterday I noticed that the SLG network seemed a bit odd. My usual number of connections is 17-20, but I was only getting 4-5, and my computer seemed to be labouring a bit. Also, my stake weight was incredibly high compared to the network stake weight.
I checked the block explorer and, sure enough, the block height was different from that which was displayed on my wallet.
I assumed that I had forked and was now on another chain, so I attempted to re-sync using the zip file supplied by your good self a few days ago.
I synced fully in no time at all, without problems. I then checked the block height, which matched.
Currently staking normally.
My only concern is that, whilst on the other chain, I still managed to get 5 or so connections. Does this mean that other people are also forked?

I noticed that yesterday also and I did find one wallet that was following it, unfortunately.
I have spoke to one other person earlier today on telegram that was in the fork. They corrected promptly also, which is greatly appreciated of you both.
It does seem others could still be in the fork but they are, and are being helped to, get on the proper chain. I will continue to investigate to find the 1 or 2 that still may be.

Sorry, that documentation is in need of revision. We will do so asap. I can not speak for Ubuntu 17 specifically, but any version of libdb dev will get you running. Something like 'sudo apt-get libdb5.3-dev' and the corresponding c++ library, lindb5.3++-dev in this example. Sorry you have encountered error messages.
I hope this helps and the documentation will be addressed.
thats worked! Sterlingcoin has another 24/7 node
