Re: [ANN][VRC] | VeriCoin | PoS - Network-Stake-Dependent Interest | No Premine May 24, 2014, 06:29:09 PM #1193 Official Release 1.2.3 for staking sync bug!



We found the problem and developed a simple fix for the stake syncing bug, so far so good. If there are additional reports of de-syncing we can adjust the parameters further, but this should work for most cases

Go here to download:



If you are in sync (most are), no need to reload the blockchain, go to step 3.





1. If you are out of sync or stuck follow these instructions



-Windows

%appdata%\Roaming\VeriCoin



-Mac

~/Library/Appplication\ Support/Vericoin/



2. Keep wallet.dat and delete everthing else (best to backup wallet.dat too)





3. Install wallet:



-Mac

download wallet place anywhere and open it up, the block will sync, may take a little while (if first sync slows, restarting the client quickens it).



-Windows

Double click the installer, uncheck bootstrap.dat if you are currently in sync with the explorer, otherwise leave it checked.



If you leave the bootstrap checked it will hard load the new block, can take ~5 minutes







Uncommon issue from corrupted wallet.dat



-If you get a wallet.dat error or have missing coins, you have may have a corrupted wallet.dat file follow these steps:



Click on the help menu, then Debug window, now click on the console tab.
