If you find your block height does not match that of the explorers, recent snapshots are available on the website and under the 'Download' navigation.
Sorry for any inconvience.
My wallet happened to be on that fork, so I downloaded a snapshot from "Recent Snapshots" -> "Windows/Mac (Berkeley DB 6.1)" link from the "Downloads" section of the sterlingcoin.org. However it seems to be more than 230 days old. Will it help to switch to the right fork? I am not sure the fork is that old...
Yes, it should get you on the right track because most, if not all, other nodes are on the right track now. Allow it to run its course and fully sync.
There is one public node, which stubbornly stays on the wrong fork and continues to stake... I believe it forced my wallet move to the wrong fork.. Hopefully it wouldn't do that again, but I'll keep backing up the chain while syncing, so I can rollback to pre-fork state if my wallet follows the fork again.
In any case it would be nice to have a fresh snapshot on the website. I can provide one as soon as I sync.
Thank you for offering and sorry Sterlingcoin has given you difficulties. A more recent snapshot would be a great help. PM'd.
No problem. I've synced now (used the "connect=" entries inb the .conf file instead of "addnode=", to exclude the faulty node(s).
I've shared the snapshot too in PM.
Thanks for your help, and for standing by this project!
