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.
I apologize for not posting for that long, but I haven't talked to staycrypto since last update's release time.
From what I can understand from the endless debug logs I have created during that time, the problem is heavily connected with PoS blocks and how they are announced to and gets accepted by peers. I noticed that my wallet has many rejects to the PoS blocks announced by others. I believe the same happens to my wallet's PoS blocks announced to peers connected with me. This forces the wallet to keep relaying the transactions that created them until it get's banned by the connected pears. That's when wallet starts crawling to death, most probably because of the many reorganization and re-transmitting of those blocks.
That of course happens to wallets with many many blocks that have reached PoS maturity (either from mining or from transactions).
I'm posting this so I can share my suspicions and let anyone know that (at least I) still investigating and pinpointing the problem.
