2.1.7 version wallet wokrs like charm.
I removed old peer.dat after updating wallet. reloaded blockchain.
The wallet has been on correct chain for hours. Good job devs!
Same here, back online and staking since around 12hours...
A big thank you to the devs for fixing this ASAP.
For those who are still having problems:
1- Uninstall Solarcoin from your PC
2- Delete the Solarcoin folder from the Appdata folder (but make sure you have the wallet.dat file backed up somewhere)
3- Restart PC
4- Install Solarcoin Wallet version 2.1.7
5- When it asks you if you want to recover a backed up wallet press NO (I noticed when you press Yes it reloads the entire blockchain without extracting the bootstrap which does make it a lot faster)
6- Once the Wallet is installed it should download the bootstrap and extract it
7- Then the wallet will restart and you will be asked to create a new passphrase
8- Create the new Passphrase by typing whatever you want (I used 1234567890 )
9- The wallet should now load the last 200-500 Blocks and once loaded it should be on the correct chain.
10- Quit the wallet and open the appdata folder
11- Replace your backed up wallet.dat file with the once that just got created.
12- Reopen the wallet, enter your password and once in the wallet press rescan wallet.
13- ONce this is done your wallet should be back online and staking on the correct chain
Hope this helped
