Okay it looks like I was able to correct my syncing issue.
(I'll post what I did, hopefully it helps someone in the future.)

I had a few things running at the same time as factomd, including the Burst coin wallet and miner.
I noticed Burst miner had started throwing errors at the same time factomd stopped progressing.
Maybe there was some conflict with the factomd process and another program I was running. I have the log messages if anyone from the Factom team is interested.

I killed the process, rebooted the machine, and went into the Factom directory located at- C:\Users\Shiroslullaby\.factom
and renamed the ldb folder.
I restarted factomd and let it synch again, this time it seemed to sync to the current block, and my wallet app was showing the same info as the block explorer for my address.

Hopefully I don't have any errors in the future and will be continuing to test the wallet beta.


We would be interested in any information you have.  So if you can post or email the log messages, that would be great.  paul@factom.org would work. I don't know what we would be doing that would interfere with another coin's wallet and miner (other than with memory or cpu usage).  Also not sure why you would have to effectively delete the database and reload (what happens when you rename the ldb folder).

If you still have the ldb folder from your first attempt, it might be interesting to stop factomd, restore the old ldb folder, and restart factomd and see if that works.  It should.

Anyway, thanks so much for testing our system!
