Okay So I have been solo mining bitgems on and off for a few days here. I went out and bought a 7870 today and got home and installed it. Then I go to open my bitgem wallet to receive some coins I'm trading. It hangs on out of sync even though I have 14 connections. Odd thing is the 50BTg I was sent popped up instantly but now wont get any confirms!. Yes I know btg confirms take forever but It has been 38 minutes and not one confirm. If I close the wallet and re open it they are still there just no confirms Any Ideas as to what is going on? I thought maybe I messed something up in my .conf so I backed up my wallet and installed bitgem on another account and copied my .dat over. Same exact issue. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fs20.postimg.org%2F5cjnoqaf1%2FCapture33.png&t=665&c=li5ZheZx1k4RnA) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fs20.postimg.org%2F5qkzobuil%2FCapture44.png&t=665&c=zZJdLYpiOjIRPg) EDIT: Others are having the same problem. Bitgem has been attacked?!

What do you mean by this? Do you know for a fact it was a error in the code?

Not sure what else it could possibly be that could make all the clients do that. It's hard to mess up all the network, unless it's something in the code, or something I've never heard of before..

Arent you just as new as me maybe a few months? Could it be a 51% attack? I'm still not quite sure how one of those would play out

Nope, I've been around longer than that, just stayed a lurker for a long time, ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) . A 51% attack would allow someone to double spend transactions, I've never heard of it freezing the network at a block.

I have heard talk about a 51% invalidating everyone else's blocks maybe thats what happened. No one had a valid block to continue the chain? I dont really understand what i'm talking about I guess lol

As someone who has actually killed an alt coin or two with 51% attacks I can tell you this isn't a 51% attack. You would still get confirms with a 51% attack. Could be a "chain bloat" attack but like Baritus I suspect it is rookie coding error. ~BCX~ Thanks for clearing that up. All I know is I just pissed 6 ltc down the drain unless it somehow comes back to life and it somehow doesn't affect the price.

It will affect the price. If no blocks can be mined, no transactions can be sent so until such times as it's fixed the value becomes zero.

The best was with Gamecoin. Though the community took over and it is great making it work.

I do have a brain. I was being extremely optimistic

ALL IS well the network seemed to work it out only 3 blocks un accounted for but I may have missed those while the wallet was closed

GameCoin is not saved yet, it's certainly in a better state than it was but until we hit block 20160 and the difficulty comes down it's still on the edge of a precipice. I personally have no stake in Bitgem but I'd like to hope someone would be prepared to do something similar try and get it back on track. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)
