they were waiting for the OP to be updated, they are updating their client now so it shouldn't take much longer before they restore deposits

yeah you are right, try this backup of the block chain http://grw.blockx.info/grw_blockchain_20140529.tar.gz

Thanks!

I'm running it with ./growthcoind -loadblock=blk0001.dat, but it has not yet finished.

alternatively, did you try to start the client with the -rescan switch? might help to correct your forking issue

I've just tried without luck.

Ok, try this instead:  http://grw.blockx.info/grw_bootstrap_20140529.tar.gz

Make sure to clean all your appdata folder (except your wallet.dat of course)

put in this bootstrap.dat before starting the client (if you started the client make sure to delete any blk* files in that folder.

then start your client.

With the bootstrap.dat file, your client will recreate the index and get the missing blocks from the network.

alternatively you can force the connection to good nodes by making sure to remove the peers.dat file and starting your client with the -connect=IP switch.  you try any of this page nodes running version 1.3.0.0

I don't remember seeing the explorer over 20 active connections, this is looking great.

Plus like Ice said, I rarely see orphans or yet to see a fork since the update.

Those patches really helped the network

I'm trying both, in different computers. The bootstrap is recreating the index.

EDIT: -connect=IP has worked! Thanks!

I know this was a long time ago, so I guess I can't get it back now, but is there a -salvagewallet or switch I could use to get these coins back?

1) Bakcup wallet.dat
2) From console (Debug) run "repairwallet"

a community take over, well there may be hope for the world yet.....

i glanced at the source,  when i have time i will build it and check it out....

appears a lot of work went into it....

the origainal client would not pay out stake due to a few issues.....

if that was a transaction that never got accepted, a backup and repairwallet could restore those coins, or a salvagewallet should do it.  If those were mined on a fork... chances are they will be lost.

Wallet is staking now.  still, more work is required, as stakes are coming in too fast (if you have a few mature blocks, you will see).

anyhow, welcome back to the community

Excellent, I'm glad you got it sorted out

Hey all, just to confirm, 1.3.0 is the latest version (that unick was working on), right? If so, is there anything we need to be aware of before doing the update (any problems?)?

Thanks!

One thing you should know is that a full blockchain reindex is required, meaning that you need to delete the existing blk*.dat files from your computer and let it sync again.

other than that, no serious issues came up yet,

be sure to make a copy of your wallet (as always) before upgrading.

Got you. Thanks for this!

Out of curiosity, why is the new reindexing necessary?

[dengnizaidongji]

staking is slowly.

To enable fast start, the block hash was added to the index. So the reindexing does that with the new source code.

Is this a question or a comment?
