Current maxcoin source has fatal error, can be fork anytime like what darkcoin suffered few months ago. There's no test time. It's disaster. Fix it now.
To Dev. Don't debug now. Just revert. This is what Darkcoin team had done on blockchain forking. checkpoint resync is not a easy problem to debug.
If the dev is going to have to rollback anyway why are people wasting resources mining it right now? And blocks are being found much faster than what was stated. |

You need to launch with the -reindex param. This will (eventually) sync up. However, as mentioned elsewhere, you must keep the wallet open at that point. Otherwise, the next time you open the wallet you'll get stuck again and will have reindex again.
Obviously, this isn't the final solution, but it works until the final solution is sorted out and implemented.

Something is definitely not right with block rate (quick analysis shows it is around 2 or 3 blocks per minute - it should be around 1) or difficulty calculation is wrong somewhere. |
theres nothing here. message me if you want to put something here.

Pool owners and users who compile from source; the latest commit allows you to block 0.9.1 nodes which should clean up the network somewhat. I'll be testing this approach this evening and if it works I'll release a new binary tomorrow.
Whilst I understand that you are concerned for the network and your coins getting flustered in this thread isn't going to help anything. I am working to rectify the problem (which is something I've never come across before, hence the delay and the reason it occurred to begin with) and will release a fix as soon as possible. If you're concerned, leave your wallet closed until a known fix is released.
Thanks

All nodes except 0.9.2.1 should be filtered out, there are actualy still many of them using 0.9.0 and 0.8.9 versions. There are zero good reasons to tolerate nodes which use old ruleset, just let them stay on their own blockchains isolated from healthy network. Also, syncing to only healthy nodes goes much faster if our nodes wasted minimum time on those outdated nodes. For a perfect outcome, peers.dat file should be filtered as well so IPs of outdated nodes are not sent to other healthy nodes. |

I want to know that if you will decide to revert blockchain from around 600000 block height or not.You told us like this. "If 1gh continues to mine on their own fork it will be a sad loss to the network." Our pool wallet is still trying to catch up, sync started 4 hours ago with "-reindex" and it's still around 546854. It's not stuck but it really needs time. I'm wondering if I have to open the pool when it's done. And it would stuck again like what happened at 6000067 when more than two pools start to mine. Please tell us the answer, this is what I am concerning the most. |

Agreed, we need clear solution, clear blockchain. currently reindex may go to fork. |

Before your node syncs to 600,000 blocks shut it down and make a backup of MAX data directory. That way you will almost certainly not have to download those blocks again. |

Since 0.9.2.1 and the "resetcheckpoint" command - I had no problems at all resyncing Suprnova ..
Strange that there seem to be so many problems out there..

I updated to 9.2.1. First time I couldn't sync.
So, I did -reindex -rescan. I typed 'resetcheckpoint' on console window.
Reindexing took about 3 hours. (I slept during that)
Now, I wake up. I found that my wallet sync. Block chain works.
I use Miningpoolhub and I haven't mined for day. However another hard fork (revert) will cause another problem.

+1 Wallet 9.2.1 works fine for me Yes it work fine, the serious bug was in the 0.9.2. But there is still a problem with the sync on 0.9.2.1, it will sync as long as it stay open after the reindex. Close it and reopen it it'll be stuck and stop syncing. |

This is getting frustrating. 1GH doesn't even allow you to mine using sgminer 5, they only allow their own custom cgminer 3.7.3. Please dev fix this coin so other pools can mine!

quickly,if 1gh is not on the good chain,dev you must give a good pool,
otherwise,people lost the hash power

http://maxcoin.miningpoolhub.com accepts sgminer 5 and any other major miners. Currently we are not showing block finding stats since web wallet is not synced yet but mining wallet is synced up and finding blocks as usual. Come and mine together. |
