Title: Anyone else stuck at block 254543?
Post by: reedlaw on August 29, 2013, 01:28:49 AM
I'm using bitcoin-qt version v0.8.3.0-g40809ae-beta and I have 8 connections but the block number is not moving. Anyone else see this?

restart bitcoin-qt. this will reconnect you to new peers and hopefully get you a faster peer.

I ran bitcoin-qt with --reindex and it's passed the stuck block.

Try to restart, if that doesn't work then maybe you should check if your antivirus/firewall has suddenly started blocking it. New updates cause this sometimes & has been known to block Bitcoin clients.
