I'm having a lot of issues with my wallet updating. I tried following the steps suggested by the dev and nothing. Finally I renamed my Version folder (to Version_BU) launched the new waller and it created a new directory for everything and I did connect node etc and I still get stuck at block 70000
At this point im stuck and confued cause I pretty much did a fresh/clean install
The coin has not been completely fixed yet, don't worry about it. There are multiple forks of the chain, and the devs are still trying to fix the problems. Follow this thread and download the new wallet when they announce it, but until then, don't bother syncing or mining.
