1446431 for some reason i am stuck at this block with no hope in sight Undecided

update***
completly uninstalled solarcoin again

Re downloaded fresh wallet and did not import my wallet used the new one that comes with new install everything was good until i got stuck on same block lol

1446431

Restoring windows on the notebook maybe this will help

There's definitely some compatibility issues in this release. My little netbook running windows 7 is running great. Can't get it working on my xp build. It was working (the xp machine) for a few days after "tricking" it with 2.1.1 then upgrading with a fully synchronized wallet, but it crashed and went back to not synching up properly again. Looking for a patch soon.

I think it's a forking issue: many of the wallets that are already updated to 2.1.6 are still connecting&staking on the 2.1.1 blockchain, so both forks still go in parallel.
One of my active wallets did it, too, even though it had been on the right blockchain for quite a while. I am now trying to put it back on the 2.1.6 blockchain - reloaded blockchain from the bootstrap, disabled staking, connected only to correctly synced 2.1.6 nodes, now will try to resume staking. We have to be checking our wallets for syncing against the blockchain explorer and manually bring them back on the right blockchain (if needed) to help the 2.1.6 hard fork establish itself faster on the network.

added observation: after a wallet re-scan, when staking resumes balances on the Overview page get completely out of whack - this happens ONLY IF the wallet is STILL on the WRONG blockchain.

Got my wallet to sync with 1936 block remaining then it stoped on my notebook took about 4 days Huh

Just re downloaded block chain and now stuck at new closer to fully synced spot. Embarrassed

My Main computer wallet is running fine.

So far i have tried everything that has been mentioned with no luck if any one has any new ideas i would greatly appreciate it. I even copied the entire solarcoin roaming file from my working computer moved it to the notebook and Solarcoin program would not open with errors after doing this.

Going to try this again
Copy blk0001.dat from the backup on the Desktop to AppData/Roaming/SolarCoin
Copy contents of txleveldb from the backup on the Desktop to AppData/Roaming/SolarCoin/txleveldb

Sounds stupid but have you tried just closing the wallet and reopening it? Mine also gets stuck quite often when I leave it closed for a while... The trick is to close/open the wallet several times until it finally syncs.

Sry if i'm just pointing out super obvious stuff haha. If nothing works you can always try to reinstall windows (but there must be a way around that) Just get a intel pc stick and send your coins there Wink

Not stupid at all i am going to try this even if i get a little progress each time it will be worth it thanks

y_virtual thanks for the tips

Now it says i am in sync but stuck on block 1440601

So maybe... if for any reason that client had gotten on the wrong blockshain...and now you got it on the right one, but it still got blocks from the wrong one (before the sync)... may be those do not get "overwritten" and confuse the client? In which case you may also have to re-download the blockchain and then it will have no forked blocks and will sync up to the correct current block since you are connecting to 2.1.6 nodes only (through the addnode commands)... Just guessing...

Gonna take a break drivin me nuts this thing Huh

thanks for all the help maybe it will fix itself in a few days.

Only thing stinks is my friend is loosing about 45 coins a day in interest. And he is pissed since my wallet is working fine lol Grin

update
Just reinstalled everything and letting wallet sync from day one without downloading blockchain might take a few days

Sorry to hear that... My wallet is working great, he can send his coins to me and I will stake them for him

Hi, i have got some problem

after update to 2.1.6 my wallet is forked every time, i.e it has alternative chain

any advice to fix it ? tnx

ps, i have win 7

in [file] menu - select reload blockchain

rescan and reload was no used

reinstallation 2.1.6 - no used too (

but back to 2.1.1 get normal

I had a similar issue to you but managed to get 2.1.6 working by doing the following:

Copy entire contents of AppData/Roaming/SolarCoin to Desktop for use as backup
Uninstall SolarCoin application
Delete contents of AppData/Roaming/SolarCoin except wallet.dat
Download and install SolarCoin version 2.1.6
Open SolarCoin wallet to ensure wallet.dat loads as expected
Close SolarCoin wallet when it starts to update the blockchain
Copy blk0001.dat from the backup on the Desktop to AppData/Roaming/SolarCoin
Copy contents of txleveldb from the backup on the Desktop to AppData/Roaming/SolarCoin/txleveldb
Open SolarCoin wallet again

Hopefully you now have a fully functioning version 2.1.6 wallet.

Mandatory hardfork to wallet version 2.1.6 is now live. Please update.

Working fine.

reloaded blockchain but 861 blocks behind with no progress.

update***
Waiting for over 1 hour so far what stinks is as time goes on so does the blocks i am behind now i am at 958

In situations like this, I always got successfully synced by force-connecting to a fully synced wallet.
(first you may want to backup the SolarCoin.conf, also backup and then delete the peers.dat file)
In case you know the IP address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) of a fully synced node, put this command before all the addnode commands in the SolarCoin.conf, then restart:

connect = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Or you can also try replacing (temporarily?) the addnode command block in the SolarCoin.conf with the 2.1.6 addnode command block that can be obtained through the block explorer:
With the wallet running, select BlockChain, select the Network tab, then the "Version, Protocol & Network Share" link(button); click on the "node list" button for /Satoshi:2.1.6/, then right-click & Select All anywhere in the addnode list that pops up, then right-click & Copy. You can then paste the list to replace all the addnode commands in the SolarCoin.conf. In this case also backup and delete the peers.dat file before re-running the wallet.

Hi guys. I have been away for a while.
Do we have to update the wallet? Mine seems to be working just fine.
I am contributing 250,000 to Lyke. Is anyone else doing this?
Cheers

I would contribute also, but I never heard back.

Just FYI, the hardfork to 2.1.6 is likely to occur in the next day or so.

Windows 7, 2.1.6 working well for over 1 week now.
MACOSX wallet working well after some hiccups. Make sure to have the blockchain up to date on 2.1.1 before installing 2.1.6.
All stable now.
Anyone have a stable Linux wallet for 2.1.6 because our current version isn't stable?

Thanks,
