Version 1.3 Update notes:
We have added the checkpoint warning back into the mix. It is important to have regular checkpoints for a period of time until Proof of stake is fully active on the network. There may be frequent updates until a checkpointing system is in place ( It is in the works ) As of 7/16/2013 your client should not be displaying the checkpoint too old warning if you are running Verison 1.3 or have Pulled the source with the latest commits. Error fixes. Please make sure you use the download link above for the windows QT. I have not pushed it to github and removed the .exe from github to prevent people from downloading the old version temporarily. A windows installer will be released today as well
I apologize for the recent confusion and delays. I have been spreading my time thin between my job, Bottlecaps and a few other projects in my daily life. I will have more time to devote to Caps in the coming weeks and will continue to maintain the code until that time.

i downloaded https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B73BPH3r4uZcNVhQRmVDMy1Rbjg/edit?usp=sharing, redownloded the blockchain and i have no old checkpoint warning
Well I went through the entire process again, deleted files, downloaded the blockchain and still the same error. Heading home now and will install the client freshly on a different computer and see what I get.
Edit: Just added it to another computer and does not connect to network. Will have to use addnode in the .conf file to get it rolling.
Second Edit: Blockchain to old warning on second computer with new install @snaidervp don't know why your not getting it.

Alright... Is there a windows (or mac) installer for this or do I have to compile it to run the wallet software? Not having any luck with any of the download links, and trying not to sound like a dumbass here...
Well your not sounding dumb at all. Right now the windows link on the front page has a zipped file with no executable in it. They are in the process of releasing the latest version and unfortunately having a couple delays.
The link from a few posts back does have the latest; but, I think, you have to consider it BETA because it has a check point warning that will need to be resolved. It will give you a wallet though if your looking to solo mine.

Might be helpful if there was an executable file in the new Windows-Qt master download.
I have not pushed the new QT to github. Download is at the link below

Thank you....I downloaded and installed. A couple of notes:
I did have to go into %appdata%. and delete everything except wallet.dat and Bottlecaps.conf as mentioned above to remove the checkpoint message.
After deleting the above the wallet would not connect to the network and I needed to modify Bottlecaps.conf with addnode parameters. Currently syncing.
Edit: And the warning for the wallet checkpoint being to old is still there after downloading the blockchain.

The newest git update worked for me.
Same. Fixed the sync problem I as having. Thanks! July 16, 2013, 11:00:07 AM

Is there an explanation of the changes , just for the forum , is this client for the checkpoints ?
Didn't Balthazar design a way to dynamically inplace checkpoints ?

New Bottlecaps windows QT is finally here. Thank you Shakezula for your continued support

The proper checkpointing system is in place. If you are still receiving the checkpoint warning you will need to redownload the blockchain.
Close your client. Go to start and search run. Run %appdata%. Go to the Bottlecaps folder and delete everything EXCEPT your wallet.dat and Bottlecaps.conf Restart your client
Linux/mac users sorry for the previous issues. I pushed the commits to avoid the checkpoint warnign showing up. All checkpoint issues are fixed and you should now be able to download the chain again. I have taken steps to prevent issues like this in the future

Yes i discovered an issue with one of my checkpoints. I apologize for this. If you download the latest source all issues are fixed. I am working on compiling the new windows qt now
I did a git pull after your post and recompiled and deleted my blk* and peers.dat, but still have the same issue. I'm on linux.

It stops downloading blocks at 14999, for me. I've tried adding all the peers in this thread, and redownloading.

this is the first coin where the client doesnt connect what kind of fail is this?
mine connects just fine a couple of times everyday, did you think its you and the not wallet that failed?
added nodes in conf file now it connects. It's fail that after 1 week the wallet should automatically find nodes, I shouldn't have to manually add nodes this isn't launch.
Its most likely your network. I have no ports forwarded and no add nodes i connect with 5+ peers everyttime
