For those who are having trouble synchronizing their wallets, try closing them for 24 hours and then re-downloading the blockchain. You may be getting banned by legitimate nodes for inadvertently re-broadcasting blocks and transactions form an incorrect chain.
Yes, absolutely -- thank you OneFixt.
More Updates:1. Costas (mindfox) is updating some things that will essentially hard code the nodes into the wallet and will stop new clients from accepting connections < 1.7.0.0. This will prevent what OneFixt mentioned from happening again (inadvertently re-broadcasting blocks and transactions from an incorrect chain).
2. We will be wrapping up the explorer in the next couple of days
3. Pool should be cleaned up and crons back on sometime tomorrow
All 3 items should be complete, tested, and pushed out within the next 3-4 days.
Once that is all complete and the network is more stable, we will be working with exchanges to make sure they are all squared away so we can put all this behind us and keep moving onward!
This might be a silly question, but does the following mean we can still mine on the official pool, we just won't see our coin until it's all cleaned up?
