Thanks for the reply LightSplasher. Wallet Help > About eMark says "eMark version v1.1.0.0-oro"

I knew about the hard fork and downloaded the wallet from their website.

I then realised it was the old version of the wallet so came back here and downloaded it from Github using the link on page 1.

After deleting all but the wallet.dat file 24 hours ago the wallet now says "~23898 blocks remaining"

The blocks remaining was going down but has been at 23898 since last night.

I've tried looking at the debug.log file but it is 1,963,432 kb!!!

Not sure what to do now?

Short of deleting the wallet.dat file I've removed all the old wallet files?



I've had troubles like this on other wallets. There maybe some nodes working on the previous version of the wallet that are causes troubles for you getting the right chain.  You can try using “connect” instead of “addnode” in your config file to force the wallet to download from peers you think are on the right chain.  I would not permanently run using “connect” though partially for a PoS coin.  Just trying it over again might work too.

Another possibility is that maybe there is some problem with the wallet file.  You could try downloading the chain with the wallet.dat file stored temporarily somewhere else.  Once you get things synced up correctly you could shut down the wallet, restore the wallet.dat file and see if things are working right.  If the wallet.dat is causing you issues you can also try things like saving out the private keys and reloading them into a new wallet file or running repair commands.  Just please remember to keep good backups of wallet.dat.  These are just my best guesses.  Best of luck to you!
