【Important】As pointed out by some users, there are several branches of Sprouts block chain. And because block chain reorganization has been done many times, chain is in an unstable state.
As a result of various investigations, one reason is that Sprouts' seed server is not functioning and exchange of node information can not be efficiently exchanged.
The seed server has not been running since a long time ago.
Also, because the upper limit per one transaction that the wallet can handle was raised from 2 billion to 40 billion since July 7th, a large amount of PoS approved broadcasts are sent from the node that became able to open wallet due to hard fork, and the block creation seems to have become rapid rapidly. This seems to be related to the chain's unstability, too.
Since reorganize itself can not be avoided in the block chain, there is no problem in itself, but it takes time to integrate chains.
Because it is broadcast to each of the branched chains, it is not in a state where remittance to other wallets is impossible.
As a provisional measure, We released the longest chain at the moment as a new bootstrap.
1. download latest bootstrap
https://github.com/sprouts-coin-org/sprouts/releases/tag/v0.2.0.0
sproutshf_bootstrap_20180709.zip
2. stop wallet.
3. Move blocks, chainstate, peers.dat in the same location as sprouts.conf to a different directory.
4. Write three of blocks, chainstate, peers.dat in the expanded sproutshf_bootstrap_20180709.zip to the same directory where sprouts.conf is located.
(Please be sure to execute step 3. Do not overwrite simply because the previous file will hinder Wallet's behavior.)
5. Please add the following line to sprouts.conf.
addnode=35.237.147.19
addnode=35.229.111.0
addnode=35.229.45.6
addnode=153.131.21.214
6. Start wallet.
* Do not simply overwrite the bootstrap file, but move the existing file somewhere before copying the new one.
In order to make things like this not happened, we are considering implementing a seed server.
