Hi everyone, can someone explain me what the Boostrap is and what is it for?

It's A file that you don't need to sync from the beginning. It like a backup file of the chain, you only have to sync the last weeks/days. Depends from when the bootstrap is made.

Thank you very much! Then I'll use it, since I think I'm not in the correct chain and I want to reset everything!

Your sure? Anyway update Will be released very soon. The bootstrap didnt work with me, so i synced the whole chain. Took a day to do it.

ya and just remember guys if your resyncing to fix orphans or rejects, "it's not a bug, it's a feature" (velocity)
as long as your nodes are official you should be good from forking

@belgianboy , heehee, love the sig, not sure if it's in proud or embarrassed context tho! :p

@Everyone

>>>New Espers Client - Version 0.8.6.0 Patch-0<<<
March 31st, 2017 (above is the windows client, Mac coming soon)

>>>Source<<<

Has now been released!
GitHub has been updated... now let us explain what this update entails.

v0.8.6.0 is a mandatory update in otherwords you MUST update your client to this version. By doing so you will ensure smooth operation of your copy of the chain as well as numerous fixes that have been rolled up in this accumulative update.

We of course recommend backing up your wallet.dat file however this is not necessary as this is a seamless update from the previous client with no loss of coins, no re-sync required no-nonsense.

The softfork to the new custom-built retarget system named "Terminal-Velocity-RateX" or "VRX" for short is designed from the ground up to integrate properly with the Velocity parameter enforcement system to ensure users no longer receive orphan blocks, insanely large debug logs, frequently rejected blocks, random forking, not being able to sync due to no connections, and other issues. These have been resolved.

After VRX kicks in everyone will notice the rejects nearly stop all-together (there will of course still be the occasional one while the difficulty adjusts to wild changes in hashrate but NOTHING like it is now.

Coming up next is a patch to the mining system which will simply only allow good blocks to be mined, thus removing the possibility of being rejected, at this point Velocity will only be a security system instead of "big brother" and protect the chain from old/depricated clients while they are still temporarily allowed on the network (until later protocol versions deny their connection later on in future updates) and/or possible attacks.

We hope that you enjoy this update and rest assured, there are MANY more coming. At long last mining is coming in the next update and much much more

Stay tuned!

(PS: The softfork is 14 days out from the date of this post! (block 667k))

Thanks you guys! don't forget that you the community are the real heroes. Without you guys this would be meaningless no matter how many updates!
You all kick ass! Your patience and support will not go unnoticed.

Two nodes up and running. Updated flawlessly. Patiently waiting for the network to catch up.
Good work Dev!

[revealed]

Does it fixes the staking issue?

[mineru]

Does it fixes the staking issue?

Should but more nodes are needed. As soon as most of us have updated. Don´t know if it's 51% or by block. Dev?

[orio]

Nothing changed with new client.
Still only orphans and rejects during POW and POS.
I don't see something is fixed.

@Everyone

...
Mac coming soon

POW will take another small adjustment that is in the works. For POS you have to wait for the trigger event either number of nodes running or specified block.


EDIT:This statement is confusing and not correct. Please read explanations by Dev next page.

Thank you for this update! I ran the client after having erased everything but the .dat, now it doesn't sync, maybe I need some nodes? It's stuck at 28° week from the end!

You can try to use the bootstrap. Link is on the previous and some nodes also.

[UGC]

Just wait... it will all be OK

Espers has a great potential all await the unexpected moment

Espers has a great potential all await the unexpected moment

But if they're waiting for it, it's not unexpected right? 

[xtrembash]

POW & POS blockchain broken for a month and a half ..
