Title: [SOLVED] Namecoind stalls downloading blocks at block 91,199 - Houston?
Post by: MaGNeT on October 08, 2011, 04:52:11 PM
I started namecoind.exe today and though it downloaded some blocks, it now seems to stall at block 91,199 ...
Tried it several times to restart, I have enough connections but it won't get over 91,199 ...

Houston... Do we have a problem?

My "getinfo" result:

Code:
{
    "version" : 32463,
    "balance" : 2792.02602867,
    "blocks" : 19199,
    "connections" : 8,
    "proxy" : "",
    "generate" : false,
    "genproclimit" : -1,
    "difficulty" : 94035.90217415,
    "hashespersec" : 0,
    "testnet" : false,
    "keypoololdest" : 1309979279,
    "paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
    "errors" : ""
}

You just need to upgrade to the latest release of namecoin that supports merged mining.

What version would that be?

edit: I have the newest version, as you can see in my getinfo dump ...

3.24.63 is the latest version.

You are probably stuck connected to un-upgraded peers.

Try: -addnode=178.32.31.41
as a commandline arg



From another topic, this solved it :)
