Mine was stuck too, but a rewind worked, sort of:
{ "no. blocks removed" : "500", "hashBestChain" : "b0f7aa531cad60ee682c6e641be05d4cf292ad8a04f24de64e14071c02b9cd46", "nBestHeight" : "850269", "result" : "success", "Further action" : "Please restart Europecoin" }
But after restart it gets stuck again on the same block.

A few tips to avoid / fix problems like thissometimes i forget, that things are not obvious out of the box for everybody. I will try to get better on this. To make sure, here are some tips:
1) don't mix old Europecoin technologie (1.x) with 2.x technologie
Though the ugrade was somehow a challenge, die most feared actual hardfork passt by in such a smooth way, that one could forget, that these two chains are not only incompatible, but they are both two complete different technologies. This hat following implications when resyncing or rebuilding:
case: you have a old wallet.dat You wlll have no problems on rebuilding from below 820k, but you can't us the bootstrap (very slow)
solution: start rebuilding with the bootstrap and create a new wallet.dat, import the old one
nearly the same vice versa, using the new wallet.dat makes you compatible with the bootstrap, but wallet may fail under Block 820k and crash
In general, you can do better by avoiding Problems like that by following:
don't have ONE wallet.dat as backup, have one from every month, this protects you also from ending up with one copy that is corrupted
2) when you have your wallet in sync,
make your OWN bootstrap, it will work better the any other. Its like a fingerprint. the hashes are of course the same, but that doesn't mean, your computer doesn't influence the structure at all, it does!
How to make a bootstrap:
make a copy of the file blk0001.dat and rename it to bootstrap.dat, thats it
3) never unlock your wallet when you are syncing, always lock it, before closing! THIS is one of the most issues solving practices !
4) nope, you are not save:
Also keep keep in mind, we are currently growing faster, than any other of our generation of altcoins. So does our network. But at the same time we are not big enough to be save against attacks. This is noch even the case for bugs, but simply a question of computing power. At the same time we are generating very huge public interst: Our Twitteraccount skyrocketed from 3000 impessions per week up to 5000 per DAY and our Retweet reach went from 3000 viws per Tweet/Retweets to amazing 2.5 million per Tweet. Was i what to say is, the time where attacks will be likely could be right now and we have to use our smartest tool, we have in Europecoin:
Its called: EVERYBODY EYES OPEN!
Please check regularly and be aware, that your harddrive crawling like crazy is not enough to feel save, CHECK YOUR BLOCKs to discover issues early. That is not only the path for survive, is the highway to heaven, Know, that your are experiencing this project roller-coasting into its most exciting part of its history. I amm saying this for a reason: YOU and YOUR AWARENESS is needed now! So, thank you for reporting! Great!

Anyone else having trouble resync? removed everything and did a completley new one, used bootstrap on link in first post here. seems to go without any problem until its like 1400-1500 blocks left to sync with then its just seems to hang there, and now restarted it like 4 times everytime it keeps frezzed on a few more blocks. (1472 blocks to go, 1490 blocks, 1591 blocks to go ) got 7 active connections seems to get stuck on block 850241 of calculated 851832 blocks total. ?? What to do anyone got any suggestions?
1. removed everything and tried doing that 2 times with bootstrap from here. 2. tried to just close and restart erc wallet 4-5 times after its stuck on this last same block for more then 1 hour. 3. tried to do a completley new installation on another computer again with bootstrap but hangs when its a few blocks left aswell. (didnt really paying attention to wich block it was on when it stopped on that one since i thought i just redo it on my main computer instead.
only thing i can think of trying is start over again with clean install without bootstrap but that will take forever... and thought if thats the problem more then me should have noticed it by now?

Greetz Steve And the .conf file then? that still needed or can i remove that aswell? wasnt nodes hardcoded in wallet? or what nodes are the right ones? using the ones on first page aswell asuming all those using right chain. ?

I have no problems with synch. Here is my getinfo:

Hy i will upload a fresh bootstrap now, expect it to be availlable in about 1-2 hours, I will tell you here when its done. I am currently finishing the new white paper, witch is now complete. I will use the upload time upload time to read it, to spell-check and beautify the document and then PUBLISH.
do we have any INFOGRAPHICS wizzard among us? I put out a bounty for reading and REALLY understanding the paper and then making a beautyfull INFOGRAPHICS about it.
50 000 ERC for a REALLY outstanding Infographics

I also got stuck at block 850,241. I have backed up my original directory, and left the EuropeCoin data directory empty (no files at all). I am re-syncing from the very beginning. I have also locked my CONF file to only talk to the main nodes: europecoin.conf:upnp=0 listen=0 connect=167.114.224.79 connect=167.114.224.82 connect=194.135.92.209 connect=104.255.33.55 connect=194.135.93.49 connect=23.227.190.77 Ahh clever one! that something i have to look into aswell i think, i got a copy from 23 of december that im bootstrapping from now , waiting for it to sync up the last and then see if it works that way, really dont wanna do it all from scratch again... did it on the copy i have thou if it works i will look into .conf and also lock it down to main nodes.

A complete resync should fix the problem if it was fixable, how can the bootstrap make any difference? Whitepapers, memes and large coloured fonts is all very well, but we need a moving blockchain, right now we have a NON-FUNCTIONING COIN! Priorities, please!
