I have started Actinium with no flags, with any flags, with no other config - though this should not matter, ultimately it does not matter, it will always crash / quit at the same point. Upon scan of the chain, once this height is reached, the software crashes. This happens from the bootstrap, from the network, or from my old previously working chain. The software does not remain running. Upon relaunching Actiniumd the same issue will occur. The daemon cannot be used with the active chain.

Actiniumd: script/interpreter.cpp:1551: size_t CountWitnessSigOps(const CScript&, const CScript&, const CScriptWitness*, unsigned int): Assertion `(flags & SCRIPT_VERIFY_P2SH) != 0' failed.
The issue with the release notes is the language of "weird error" which does not really reflect an actual error. The error is not weird. It is understandable and that is why I am writing about it here, because I have not developed this coin or worked with any Segwit code.
The term "weird error" was used because most of our users came with this questions to us, in the Discord. It would be very easy for me to write "Assertion Error in C++ Code - Script Parsing Error - while chain sync".
But, we are not here to discuss how we have to talk to our users. Until now every user that had problems with syncing the chain could solve this problem by following the solution I gave you:
a) delete everything in .actinium folder except your wallet.dat (not even Actinium.conf should remain there).
b) Start the Daemon with the flags
-daemon -server -txindex -reindex -port=4334 -rpcport=2300 -rpcuser=user1 -rpcpassword=blah -rpcallowip=127.0.0.1c) Wait for the sync to complete (you can run tail -f $HOME/.actinium/debug.log to watch the sync)
After the sync completes you can send commands to the daemon with Actinium-cli (this is the reason I wrote extra RPC flags, so you can still command the daemon as there is no Actinium.conf).
Have you executed all steps exactly?
