i deleted my block chain and reapplied the bootstrap and re-downloaded everything. I'm at block 1,289,924, while the explorer says we're at 1,289,441. I am now at around 500 blocks ahead. I have not staked since the re-download.
BTW, how do we get to block 1,293,600 if no one is staking to create new blocks?
Here you have a point. However it seems that staking caused the forks, that's why we asked to not stake.
Again, I used the newest wallet, erased and re downloaded the block chain using the 7-9-2017 bootstrap and haven't unlocked my wallet/staked since to avoid it doing weird things. I currently have 21 connections to the network.
The blockchain explorer at
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/tes/# currently claims the last block was 1289441 and that it happened at 2017-07-29 16:33:10 extracted by Proof of Stake.
Thanks for the info. Not sure why you have 21 connections. Could you please share your getpeerinfo?
Try to delete your teslacoin.conf file. The new wallet will automaticaly connect you to the right nodes
The underlying wallet program is supposed to pick the fork with the most units of "work" having been done, but it appears as though that is not happening. Were it doing that, then the forks would be irrelevant.

I will erase the conf file and re-download and see if that makes the difference.
