Yes, this wallet. And no, restart wont help. There is 9 connenctions, but still stuck on the same block :/
Open the terminal, do
Code:
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Zen/blocks
and
Code:
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Zen/chainstate
then restart the zen wallet.

thanks, but tried this already, it starts syncing again and gets stuck at the exact same block. I will try out some other machine, but this one is basically a out of the box mac.

can I connect to other nodes maybe, or define them manually? maybe the ones I connect to are also stuck
For those who missed it! Block 139,200 on Friday July 21th 14:00 EDT we had FORK!

What now?

Before any action backup wallet, keys and wallet.dat!


1. Backup old wallet, write down your private keys. copy wallet.dat on safe location
2. Delete or even better rename Zen folder - > /appdata/roaming into "ZEN2"
3. Delete old wallet
4. Download and run new wallet, wait for syncronization it will be slow in the beggining.
5. Close wallet after is synchronized and paste old Wallet.data in /appdata/roaming/Zen 
6. Run wallet again and ZEN's will show up..

This release contains the ZenCash Mandatory Software Upgrade at Block 139,200 on Friday July 21th 14:00 EDT

For linux the equivalent of /appdata/roaming/Zen is ~/.zen
For MAC the equivalent of /appdata/roaming/Zen is  ~/Library/Application Support/

Then try this, it will consume your time, but will start working properly.
