Would you mind posting a message in MTR thread that you guys have MTR on your site.

Add a Logo, and I will add the info to the OP.

There are on the right chain while you are not. Wait for an update.

Regarding our latest fork issues today I have finished resyncing my nodes to the right (=longest) chain so I can provide a solution. First of all most of the nodes in the network are on the right chain. Unfortunately, key nodes like block explorer was not and Bittrex is not. Now block explorer is showing correct chain.

Here we go with the solution. First of all check if you are not the right chain. Go to http://explorer.8-bit.party and compare Block number with a block number in your client. It should be a number higher than 429966 (2016-03-19 13:30:40 UTC, I will update this value in next posts). If it's so, you are on the right chain and there's nothing to do on your side. Everything is fine. If your block height is lower and you running synced node you are on the wrong chain and you have to perform following actions:

• Go to http://www.8-bit.party, click on Download and get the bootstrap file (direct link: http://www.8-bit.party/static/bootstrap.dat.7z?2016-03-19--00) [sha224 bootstrap.dat.7z: 3ee34f26c69aed8737c71c10c48aecf8e1f8f7e9ae9e2a3ec311c62c]
• Shut down your node. Make sure it's really off (use ps or task manager)
• Make sure that your node is off again
• Backup your wallet.dat. Always backup your wallet.dat, no matter what you do
• Remove peers.dat file. Add
  

Code:

addnode=node00.8-bit.party
addnode=node01.8-bit.party
addnode=node02.8-bit.party
addnode=node03.8-bit.party
addnode=node04.8-bit.party
addnode=node05.8-bit.party
addnode=node06.8-bit.party
addnode=node07.8-bit.party
addnode=node08.8-bit.party
addnode=node09.8-bit.party

If you use IPv6 you add also:

Code:

addnode=6node00.8-bit.party
addnode=6node01.8-bit.party
addnode=6node02.8-bit.party
addnode=6node03.8-bit.party

• Unzip bootstrap.dat.7z to a bootstrap.dat file in your 8bit home directory (~/.8bit/bootstrap.dat on linux, AppData\Roaming\8Bit on Windows)
• Run your wallet with -rescan flag and wait. Be patient, it can take serveral hours to load a new blockchain.
• Enjoy a correct chain on your node

If you are not sure whether you are on the right chain or not - just ask, there are other, more accurate ways to check it (eg comparing block hash with these shown by the block explorer).

If I am on the right chain should i shut down and update the nodes? I'm on 430023 so my guess is that im on the right chain.

Absolutely no. You are on the right chain (like most of users actually). Don't do anything.

Ok, Thanks for the help. I will just leave mine running as usual...

[8-bit-Party]

Although at this moment I have 46 peers, 45 on the right chain and one on the fork, for those (that one user?) having to start with a bootstrap here's a nice tutorial: https://litecoin.info/Bootstrap.dat

[drays]

Good job, 8-bit-Party!

Somehow one of my wallets was on the right fork, the other one - on the wrong one. Corrected now.

Just one of my peers seems to be on the wrong fork - and btw that one uses "subver" : "/8bit:2.0.0/", while all others are on "subver" : "/8bit:2.1.0/".

[8-bit-Party]

I saw no no correlation between version and being on correct chain at a glance. Re-checking now.

Also this is not a final solution, this is kind of soft landing after some minor (accidentally made major - because of importance of affected nodes) storm.

Next step will be more painful and everyone will be required to upgrade and do extra actions. TBA FTW

I am very sorry, but the link to the fresh bootstrap.dat I have provided was wrong! SHA-224 checksum was correct, links was wrong.
Please close your wallet and restart loading bootstrap.dat with the correct file (correct one has 7z extension, old, outdated one has bz2 extension):
http://www.8-bit.party/static/bootstrap.dat.7z?2016-03-19--00

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Why are you here? If you're not happy, you always have a choice.

I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it.
