Title: Client 0.8 has taken forever Post by: vite on March 12, 2013, 06:22:32 PM when the fork was announced I shut down the client.
then I turned it back on. and it still has not finished synching with the network. Allowing me to do nothing.... Or atleast play around with my btc Title: Re: Client 0.8 has taken forever Post by: vite on March 12, 2013, 06:27:18 PM before fork, client did start and shutdown much faster than the previous versions...
why rollback when everyone shouldve moved forward Title: Re: Client 0.8 has taken forever Post by: Stephen Gornick on March 12, 2013, 09:25:51 PM before fork, client did start and shutdown much faster than the previous versions... why rollback when everyone shouldve moved forward There was some misinformation in the first minutes. v0.7 and prior had the bug, but a purposely configured v0.8 allowed it to be exposed and cause the fork. v0.8 works fine for a user and merchant. Until there is a v0.8.1 then if you are a mining pool (including p2pool) or large miner (i.e., mining solo) then you want to use v0.7 as blocks mined using v0.8 could still produce blocks that v0.7 (now used for the longest chain) won't accept. As far as your v0.8 client not syncing, that should be resolved by now. Has it?

I guess I wrote that wrong, it is synching. Its just feels like the first time I launched the bitcoin client and thought it was broken cause I did not read ahead the note that said "first time users be aware, it takes about 24 hours for it to synch" Title: Re: Client 0.8 has taken forever Post by: juggalodarkclow on March 12, 2013, 11:32:10 PM down to 1420 blocks and counting :( mine took about 13 hours to download the block chain, it's a bit annoying but not much you can do :/I guess I wrote that wrong, it is synching.
