EarthCoin (EAC), one of the "classic" altcoins that has been here since 2013, was controled by a group of hackers for several months, who did not let anyone else mining this coin. Any attempt to extract a block of this coin failed up to now - all the blocks found by someone other were promptly orphaned. The original EarthCoin developer team did nothing to stop this mining monopoly, so we have decided to take the initiative and get this coin out of the clutches of those evil miners.
We have made the necessary changes to the source code and created a new network in which anyone can freely extract EarthCoin blocks. The party is now coming to the end. To follow this new, liberated EarthCoin, start using the following
wallet.
New version 1.5.2. Upgrade your wallet as soon as possible! Version 1.5.2 implements the protection against a large block reorganization and marks all coins extracted in the monopoly episode as invalid.

The code will be fixed in a few moments. Fixed, sync should work now - compare your blockheight with blockexplorer.
