-[ANNouncement]- QORA on polo communications...Hello everyone, I just wanted to pass along the information that poloniex has given me, regarding why their withdrawals are still disabled...
They've told me that they're unable to keep their wallet sync'd... Which is strange, because I have about 5 nodes up and running and sync'd. I told them to remove the db and let it sync again, but for whatever reason that isn't working for them. I also gave them a long list of nodes to add, which they did... Here's what they told me about what they're seeing (seems like a networking issue on their side to me, but if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know so that I can pass it on to them. Thanks!)
We can't get our node to sync; it always gets stuck at a block near the current one. The last attempt was made using the partial blockchain snapshot you provided and adding the new explorer as a known peer, but it failed pretty quickly with this error:
Exception in thread "Thread-13" java.io.IOError: java.io.IOException: Checksum does not match, data broken
Best regards,

I then told them to try deleting and re-sync the db...
Thanks for the suggestion, but it is something we have tried many times. Sometimes it will sync once, but then stop getting new blocks.
Best regards,

Then I said that they looked like they were having a network issue, and asked for config...
Also suggested that they turn forging off...
The problems actually started as soon as we turned forging off. I tried turning it back on, but it seems to find blocks too fast and get itself on a fork pretty quickly. The wallet is running in a fresh Debian environment. settings.json:

Their config looked alright to me, aside from the minconnections=1... I think that's too small, right? I set mine to minimum of 5 or 10 usually. Maybe this is why they are not receiving new blocks if they're only connected to 1 peer and they're happy with that...
If anyone has other nodes, lets give them those, and I'm working on getting my node at qora.tech back online as well now, I've got a new host setup so it should be for sure first part of next week.
