Updated QT wallet to v3 and it stuck on block 2459220, 38 hours ago. Synced from scratch. How fix it?

This may happen as not 100% nodes were updated before hard fork.
So you unluckily stuck into abandoned chain looks like.
Simplest and quick way:

1. stop qt wallet
2. backup wallet.dat somewere
3. remove all files in datafolder except wallet.dat
4. place bootstrap.dat in datafolder
5. start qt wallet

bootstrap file is updated up to Jan 23 - bypassing fork point, so you should be safe after resync.
it may take 2-3 hours to load from bootstrap which is much faster then ordinary resync.

Usually new exchanges dont want use bootstrap file and want sync from scratch like me. But got same errors like @marecek666 had.
We are not using "new" exchanges at this point; when we are ready for them the bootstrap file won't be an issue.

You and @marecek666 seem to be the only ones who are having problems. It's really not that hard.
If you are having so many orphans (like no one else is...), the best thing to do is Resync. Easy.
Everything is running smoothly and was easy to update on my end - and with now at least 75% of coin Stakers.
