It seems transactions are being confirmed again on the blockchain today. I sent a small payment this morning and it went through ok. However, all the previous payments I sent are still sitting unconfirmed...anyone know if it will eventually confirm those? Seems strange that new ones are being confirmed but old ones haven't yet.
Mine is stuck on the same block and the block explorer hasn't updated in days now...I think we're screwed unless the Devs come back with an update here at some point...
Any update on the "technical issues"??
No good news... I'm regulary watching ArcticCoin feed at Twitter and Facebook. Still saying work in progress....
I'm also watching Block-Explorer and today I noticed some new blocks for 14 Aug 2018... previously it was stuck some days at same block-count! So either this is some testing by the DEV-Team or someone's masternode is working again?!

When I look through the list of masternodes, there are a handful that are active/enabled. I connected to those in my config file and cleared the wallet cache but mine still wouldn't sync. Either those nodes are completely overloaded since there are only a few, or they aren't actually enabled...no idea what's happening here, but I want out. If only my transfers to Cryptopia would confirm...
Any update on the "technical issues"?? My masternode has stopped syncing, your site says it should be version 12.2, but the only download available is 12.1.2. I've pretty much given up on that and tried to send my coins to Cryptopia, and they have been sitting unconfirmed all day. When I look at your explorer: http://explorer.arcticcoin.org/, I see the same transactions over and over.

Re: Arctic Coin (ARC), No premine, Evolution over 1 year
I added 10 "ENABLED" nodes to my arcticcoin.conf, deleted gmcache.dat and peers.dat as suggested and restarted the wallet, but same issue persists. "No Block Source Available". I too am using it just for learning about masternodes, it would be nice to get it working again if you have any other suggestions.
I understand your disappointment, unfortunately I have no other suggestions to give you and although I may seem pedantic and repetitive I assure you that even today I opened the wallet several times and it worked, as always synchronizes with at least 15 or 17 peers within minutes from opening of the wallet. That's all!
You are probably on a fork. Only way to fix this now that you have added valid nodes:
- Close your wallet
- Delete %appdata\arcticcore\peers.dat
- Delete %appdata\arcticcore\blocks (folder)
- Delete %appdata\arcticcore\chainstate (folder)
- Open your wallet
- Wait for full sync. This could take a few hours!

For those having issues syncing your wallet still, try this - worked again for me just now, my wallet is syncing again. Make sure you follow michele1it's instructions to add some valid (ENABLED) nodes to arcticcoin.conf first.

Bingo! That did it - thanks, it's synchronizing successfully now. I appreciate the help!
Re: Arctic Coin (ARC), No premine, Evolution over 1 year
The mobile wallet has already been delivered. As for the masternodes, I know that many are in NEW START REQUIRED but probably they are old nodes abandoned by the owners or the servers restarted, there may be various hypotheses. If you look at the protocol it has not changed, so what you say does not seem right. In addition, I have a masternode active for a couple of months and continues to be ENABLED, synchronizes with the last visible block in the explorer and regularly receive the rewards. These are the facts. I would not want the problems of some to become an unmotivated FUD ... little advice open the file arcticcoin.conf and write in the following line addnode = 0.0.0.0 (take an IP of a masternode that you see ENABLED and replace it instead of the zeros, you can also put many lines same with different IP of masternodes ENABLED). You also delete the peers.dat file and the gmcache.dat file from the wallet working directory. Restart the wallet and see if you solve this ...
Example of arcticcoin.conf (put working masternode IPs in place of zeros)
addnode = 0.0.0.0
addnode = 0.0.0.0
addnode = 0.0.0.0
I didn't mean a planned fork and protocol change. You can see that on 23rd April 100's of goldminenodes went offline, so something happened!
My problem is that there are obviously issues but the dev team do not communicate with the community. Take a look on either of the discord servers they use, you will see I have 1000 x more posts than the devs - because I used to support the coin. I don't anymore. The only thing it is good for is learning about masternodes. You'll never make money from it unless something changes.
C.
Exact! In fact, I used it for this, to learn the masternodes spending little but with a project that has existed for some time, I'm not planning to make money with ARC I'm not so naive!
But what I noticed is a minimum of Twitter account activity and I still see at least recent team photos ... much better than other industry projects that cost a lot more. If I have to throw around 30 dollars from the window I prefer to do it with an old project and with real faces photographed at events ... that's all ...https://twitter.com/ARC_Tech_Coin
Regarding the operation of the wallet and the masternode I confirm that with the right peers inside the configuration file as indicated in my post above my wallet it connects and synchronizes without any problem with at least 15 peers (sometimes even with 17 or 18 peers) and some have a ping also about 70 ms (not bad!), even today received reward, everything working perfectly. Actually my wallet works even without personalizing the peers as explained above ...

Heads up, I saw on Twitter yesterday that Coinomi successfully contacted NameCheap and got them to take down a scam website. Since mybtgwallet.com is also registered at NameCheap, I contacted them and they had me open a ticket with their legal department. I asked for the site to be reviewed/taken down and pointed them to this thread for details.
We'll see what happens. No chance we'll get our funds back but at least we might put a stop to it.

The scammers are waiting to steal your money around you. You should know that they are very intelligent but dishonest. You must be more and more conscious about them. Never loses your again by such a foolish work.
I deserve that I guess. I'm well aware of the mistake I made (I'm sure the OP is too). I'll definitely be more careful going forward - kicking myself still at the moment.
The devs are acknowledging it at least, sort of:

Might be worth due to the size of the hack that multiple people email law enforcement agencies about this, with $1 million stolen its no small heist, lets end this crap.

Good idea, I'll see what I can do with them. And thanks for the sympathy... Sucks but then again it's not a ton of cash. Luckily I only had a small portion of my funds in that wallet.
Also good tip above about sending to a new wallet before a fork, I'll keep that in mind.
Thank you for posting this thread - I'm also a victim and feeling pretty stupid right now. Bitcoin Gold had http://mybtgwallet.com/ listed on their official site as you say, and I too fell for it. I lost 0.08 BTC, and after today's run up I was going to sell it off. $800 CAD down the drain.
Is there anything that can be done to recover funds (I am a noob, but I keep hearing about replay protection - is there any protection from this)?
