I'm stuck on 47 blocks. I compiled the github sources. I have port 9776 open.

getinfo shows my version at 80200. Half of my peers are on version 0.8.1, and the other half are on 0.8.2.

If I use the addnode list in the OP, I only get clients on 0.8.1.

After a while after starting the daemon, most of the peers drop me, and I'm left with other peers with only 47 blocks also.

Do I need to downgrade to 0.8.1? Anyone have this issue?

That's strange, I'm not aware of a version 0.8.2. Perhaps you compiled an older .8.0.2?
The version I'm running which I can confirm is working is v0.8.1.0. A pre-compiled windows version can be downloaded from the google docs linked in the first post. Other platforms available in first post as well. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B49exKIsGBn5Zks1VWRZUzdzSU0/edit

The latest update as far as I know is 0.8.1.0 it will kick peers using an incorrect and previous version due to an old attack which left a visual sync error. If you're running an old blockchain, try deleting the blockchain and let it re-sync fully with only connecting to 0.8.1 peers.

Might be best to try a pre-compiled wallet until a dev can shed light onto a possible error with the github source.



I've registered gamecointalk.org

going to start a gamecoin site + forums soon. also offering bounties for building more GME related tech

Very nice, thanks for offering to start a gamecoin community outside of the bitcointalk alt forum. I'll definitely join once it's up and running and try to help out where ever.
