That all synching issues have been solved for the most part.
I am personally still waiting to "officially update" and run 1.6.0. I have the wallet downloaded and ready to go... I am watching the block count and will indefinitely update well before the hard fork officially happens to avoid any issue.
The reason im still waiting is I'm looking for some people to confirm 100% that there is no longer any synching issue, that they are staking 100% properly.
Since the update of 1.6.0... I have stayed on 1.5.5 (Tried 1.5.6 but couldnt get obsf4 working for some reason). Since most people have updated and there was synching/staking issues I have noticed in the past day I have staked a bit more than often. I dont know if its complete coincidence or not.
Can anybody confirm that staking is working 100% as it should on 1.6.0 and they aren't getting many orphaned blocks and have no synching issues at all? I will update ASAP if i see some confirmations... otherwise I will give it another day or two, but regardless update well before the fork actually happens.
