I have re-downloaded the blockchain on a new computer and am unable to import a wallet contract. I have been able to import normal accounts but contracts are still missing. Can someone please give simple to follow directions on how to resolve.
Thanks.

You need to post it here:

Or here

Most of the people posting on this ANN don't actually have Ethereum or have any interest in Ethereum.

Nice. Some big players involved here. Ethereum has so much going on which most other coins can only dream about.

No official announcement on when PoS will be rolled out.  Vitalik has a few drafts of the whitepaper for the PoS protocol.  Here is the latest draft: http://vitalik.ca/files/mauve_paper3.html

You'll need to ignore these kinds of posts...poor ethc guys have little to do but troll this thread and hope it helps ethc market

You mean hard fork? ... joke 
I am Interesting in Eth too, but I am worring about current problems with transaction.
I am now outside home and cannot check my wallet.. could you tell me if it is fixed already or still are problems?

Yelp, it all works now - you just need to delete off, the old stuff, like the blockchain and re-download the blockchain for 0.8.3.

Just remember, not delete the Keystore hidden folder with you wallet in it.

Read the previous post on this ANN from a couple of days back on 0.8.3.

The last attack was not serious, somebody or group spent a huge amount of time looking for some transactions that were under-priced in terms "gas" usage, relative to the computational time and put together a smart contract to spam those expensive computational transactions.

So, the developers did a super-fast fix for it.

could I use updated geth with 0.8.2
should I use any special flags ?

ethereum will go high  

Then it will purchase Synereo. By the way, what the hell is it? I just saw a headline that it could rival ETH. Or, I may have misread it.

This is a wrong question to be asked here. This is ETHF pump thread.

It really isn't. No one serious about Ethereum hangs out in this thread anymore.
