OK, I'm all set again. It looks like every now and then the wallet tries to sync up with that other chain though. Why is that? Just out of curiosity.


It's because you deleted your peers.dat file!

I deleted it and now it's also trying to sync to the other chain.
I now restored the old peer.dat file and everything is working again, sorry guys but removing the peers.dat file was the wrong move for me Wink

edit: However I was on the correct chain the whole time , so maybe there is another issue.

That's correct, it's more important that you remove peers.dat after you get back on the main chain.  That will improve your connections.  But, as solarcoiner points out, you open yourself up to getting blocks from everyone on the bad fork.  At some point, when everyone is on 2.0.7 and in sync, it would be good to reset the peers.dat file so no one is getting blocked.

PS: You are witnessing the security of PoS/T as pertaining to network consensus.  Pretty entertaining. Smiley
