[gisfrancisco]

It's driving me mad.Digial coin,gold coin,world coin wallets keeps going out of sync.It looks like they are trying to reload the entire blockchain.Anyone have a clue with whats going on?

Some people are trying to kill it or get those coins in sync with another blockchain, like LiteCoin.

Yup, Feathercoin too.

Is there anything that can be done about it.

Checkpoints inserted into the source and get people too update their clients will help lock in the right chain, but any of the alts that have absent developers are probably dead in the water if enough nodes accept/distribute the other chain, unless someone forks/picks-up the source into an unofficial update/branch.

I know of one dev on a coin that was active. He told me his nodes went all crazy... so I am starting to think maybe an attack

[MrWizard]

you need to find the ip address responsible and block it.

holy wow. big drama for this week.

How does one accomplish that?

This is an issue when not enough of the code in a cut and paste clone is changed and then the code is left un-maintained. These scrypt-clones NEED checkpoints added to them at regular intervals (every 5-10K blocks isn't a bad target, more is fine too). If that's not happening, its only a matter of time before a wayward node tries to synch another coin's blockchain and throw's everything out of whack this has happened to Franko, GameCoin, and a couple others. It can be fixed by the "dev" who adds some checkpoints and throws out new binaries on a regular basis.

too fast blocks lot of folks where announcing right after (mb even before) those coins started

[rqdxrocket]

my gldcoin and digicoin wallets also do the same thing

[aggster]

getting really annoyed with this now, losing faith in these altcoins being a future currency

IIRC elacoin had a similar problem, but it was because blocks were moving so incredibly slow. The QT wallet is programmed to automatically go out of sync if a block isn't found int a certain amount of time. Haven't had that problem in a while .

You can fix this by putting your own checkpoints in checkpoints.cpp
You don't actually need the dev to do it, you just need to know how to compile the source.
