Title: [YAC] Wallet client gives warning checkpoint too old.
Post by: Cahill on May 18, 2013, 09:53:55 AM
Wallet client shows

"WARNING: Checkpoint is too old. Wait for block chain to download, or notify developers"

I sent a transaction in this state will it be preserved and processed in the future or have I lost my coins?


Edit: I should add I'm not the only person experiencing this issue.

My transaction went through just fine regardless of the warning in the wallet.

I believe this happens for PPCoin as well: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=124369.msg1337384#msg1337384 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=124369.msg1337384#msg1337384)

It is simply a warning that the last checkpoint is >10 days old and that it needs to download the whole block chain. I'm not sure how they handle that for PPCoin. Adding a checkpoint every 10 days seems a bit excessive?

Thanks for the answer.

Everything is fine and other than the warning wallet and transactions are working as usual.

If everyone has to download the whole block chain again that's pretty retarded.

Download WindMaster's client from the link below and you won't see it. Though it's not important thing.
