I'm having trouble syncing with the new wallet. Was offline for 1-2 weeks. Is there a snapshot so I can get it up to date?

Hi westloin. Sorry you are having issues with your Sterlingcoin wallet again and sorry for the slow response. I do find it peculiar that this problem is repeating for you. Especially with the new wallet that does have the new and proper seednodes hard coded. I run various Sterlingcoin wallets locally (faucet, personal, ect) and never face the difficulties you have, certainly not nearly as often. My first thought is some network misconfiguration but, I know you are a long standing member of the Sterlingcoin community and would have crossed this bridge already long ago. To help you diagnose the repeating issue, can you tell me more about the situation? Specifically, does the wallet establish any connections and later drops them? Or does it seem to never find any in these situations?

At any rate, I have made and tested a new snapshot at block height 746004. I am still, as of the time of this writing, uploading this new snapshot. Please give me 2 hours for that upload to complete as my Internet connectivity is rather poor and it will take that long. As soon as the upload completes, I will edit and add a link to this post.

Again, sorry you are experiencing these repeating issues, westloin. I do hope the new snapshot will be found useful and, with a little investigation here or in the slack perhaps, we can get to the root cause.

Cheers!

Just opened the wallet again. It went up to 8 connections for a while and now it's down to 2 only. I'm also staking.

I suspect the other 6 nodes disconnected from you, perhaps for your wallet "misbehaving". This could be from your copy of the blockchain being in an unintentional fork or trying to submit incorrect block height PoS blocks. The new snapshot will solve this, http://Sterlingcoin.org/SterlingcoinSnapshotAt746004.zip (~500 MB)

In the future, you may find it helpful to only enable staking after your wallet is fully synced. You can disable staking by leaving the wallet locked or using "staking=0" in your sterlingcoin.conf file.

I tried the new snapshot but more than half my balance was missing and the rest was 99.9% unconfirmed. I resorted in using the previous bootstap and now wallet is fully synced, got 18 connections and all coins are present and accounted for. No idea why this is sill happening to me.

As far as the balance, this could have been resolved by issuing the "repairwallet" command from the debug console. This makes the wallet perform a reconciliation and is often needed after snapshoting. Sorry I failed to mention it prior.

Glad to hear you are back to staking and with peers.
