Wallet client shows

"WARNING: Checkpoint is too old. Wait for block chain to download, or notify developers"

I sent a transaction in this state will it be preserved and processed in the future or have I lost my coins?


Edit: I should add I'm not the only person experiencing this issue.

I believe this happens for PPCoin as well: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=124369.msg1337384#msg1337384

It is simply a warning that the last checkpoint is >10 days old and that it needs to download the whole block chain. I'm not sure how they handle that for PPCoin. Adding a checkpoint every 10 days seems a bit excessive?
