For all the newbies, STOP ALL TRANSACTIONS

[kokojie]

Due to the blockchain fork problem, STOP DOING ANY TRANSACTIONS for now, until further notice.



Moderator note: This is solved! Disregard.

Read this:

The original post lacked info for "regular users".  Here it is:

(1) If you are a "regular user" (not a miner), the best thing is to do nothing and wait a couple hours.  Upgrading, downgrading, whining, FUD, etc, will make no difference.
(2) If you are a "regular user", you don't need to upgrade downgrade or anything.  Just chill out
(3) Regardless of who you are, your transactions are not dead, your coins are not lost.  They will just temporarily be held up.  If you sent a transaction within the last few hours, it may take a few more hours before it's sorted out.
(4) If you insist on processing transactions right now it's probably best to wait 20+ confirmations.  It's just due diligence though ... an attacker would still need a tremendous amount of mining power, quick thinking, and a victim willing to part with a lot of BTC.
(5) By tomorrow this will be in the past and everything will appear to be normal again.  If you slept through this, you'd never know that anything happend (except for the price drop).

Let me reiterate, your coins are not at risk, your transactions are not lost.  It'll just take some time for the network to "iron itself out."  Everything will be okay.

From what I've read (which could be wrong...), mining with the 0.7 client should help fix the problem.  Again, I could be wrong, I'm just going by what info I've found.

0.7 is what some pools have reverted to. So I am assuming mining is possible on those pools.

yeah i sadly sent out .08 BTC to a Sdice bet - (i won) but the money hasn't come back to the transmitting address

I've been following the blockchain, confirmations are going for the outgoing BTC, just haven't had anything sent back (my bet+winnings)

Hopefully my money isn't lost out there in the weird chain blow up we had going on.

What is the 08/07 client? Does it mean the 08 Wallet?

Please let this topic go down, don't reply. Problem was resolved in mere 25 blocks. (less than quarter a day)

Even if it wasn't resolved, as long as your transactions don't rely on a miner reward after the fork, it would have been fine. The transaction would show up on both branches and the network would resolve itself.

People need to just relax, kick back, and let the machine do what it does. (unless your a miner.... than you might have been f-ed)
