Having some trouble for the first time synchronizing w/ the network.. my Pandabank was turned off for about a month or so while I was away, but restarting it hasn't seemed to produce a sync and no staking is taking place. It's trying to do something, but just says "Synchronizing with network", and endlessly searches, says 12085 blocks remaining, but that number doesn't seem to change much. I also only see 1 red bar at the low-right icon, I"m not sure if that is an indication of the overall health of the network? I've been a loyal staker for quite some time, can anyone advise as to what might be wrong, or how I can rectify? Should I try the 'Reset Blockchain' button in the settings?
I'm running on a macbook with OSX 10.10.4.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
The Pandacoin network is working fine, I would suggest switching to classic mode for now as it is solid and trouble free for stake mining. To help speed up a sync from the beginning or from behind a few weeks or more you should consider downloading a bootstrap file into your Pandacon directory, then restarting your PandaBank. You can download the Bootstrap file from this Pandacoin block explorer
https://bchain.info/PND/ right here is the direct link to the file
https://bchain.info/PND/bootstrap.datIf for some reason you are not connecting to active peers, you can add a Pandacoin.conf to your Pandacoin data folder (where wallet.dat is) if you don't have one already and be sure it has some good addnodes in it.
