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.
Source code: https://github.com/Sandokaaan/earthcoin
Windows 32/64 bit: https://mega.nz/#!UTQRFY7Q!pl7Z3UBxhTDG-qfCQEUY6P7WBmjo7LAW5V2bSanlQ5I
Linux 64 bit QT: https://mega.nz/#!tDQS3JIQ!1qbSlSuhwNOmh2k8a0yeT-Sezt7VIWjpQ_NQhHIIGnM
Workaround if sync from scratch or from version 1.3.x failed: do the sync with wallet version 1.5.1 and then upgrade to 1.5.2. The code will be fixed in a few moments. Fixed, sync should work now - compare your blockheight with blockexplorer.
Bootstrap file for a faster sync can be downloaded here: https://mega.nz/#!4S4UnBYL!ra_Tyf3nJwi9YXb-Dgz0OGIBKNJzqzWHJaMabPtp2D8

For those who have never heard about the EarthCoin, there are some technical parameters:
- algo SCRYPT
- mining type POW
- block time 60 s
- block reward variable - superblocks every 14 and 31 day, seasonal bonuses

Primary announcement of the EarthCoin can be found here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=379236.0
EarthCoin is listed on coinmarketcap https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/earthcoin/

~~Warning: Do not send your EarthCoins (EAC) in the next few days, the network can be temporarily unstable and you might lose you cions. Once the transaction is secure, a message will appear here.~~
Make sure your are using wallet version 1.5.1 or 1.5.2 before you send your EarthCoins.

Older versions EarthCoin wallets (1.3.2, 1.3.3, 1.3.4, 1.4.0) are still under the control of attackers and will not be supported after Sept-24, 2017. Upgrade your EarthCoin wallet to the newest version 1.5.2.
Upgrade is mandatory for all miners and mining pool operators. Version 1.5.1 is compatible but can experience a higher ratio of invalid blocks.

I have upgraded my wallet but it seems to be stuck on block 1591847? any reason for this?

I had version 1.3.3... Do I need to go back and upgrade to 1.5.1 and then upgrade again(I thought this was fixed), or... and where do I find version 1.5.1?
Also, my wallet is not connecting to any nodes atm ("NO BLOCK SOURCE AVAILABLE")?
edit : I cannot find a .conf file in windows under appdata/roaming/earthcoin etc...is it somewhere else? I would like to try adding the nodes you listed but cant do it through the console..

Nevermind, I did a little research and took care of it by creating an earthcoin.conf file in notepad, and adding the nodes... These instructions should have been provided by the OP however I think?! I am all synced now,but without the conf file, nothing was happening...Goodnight
