One of the things that hardfork has let me do is test the stuff I've added in the Solar Staker interface to check the local block chain
From a wallet that was intentionally left on the old version (with no coins)

That's showing a few things.
- At the top there are some warnings the second of which was sent out to the old network informing them they needed to upgrade. This should also have shown up in the desktop wallet as well.
- In the block check list there are two blue checks. These are where the block didn't exist on the block explorer at the time of checking.
- There's one orange check in the block check list. This is a block where the local hash doesn't match the explorers hash.
These block checks are an automated version of what's had to be done manually to check you're on the right block chain.
There's still a bit of work to do here, The blocks are only checked once so the state could change (especially in terms of blocks were the wallet is ahead of the explorer).
I've also done a lot of work on how to automate the initial setup of the software and how it can be updated which seems to be working for some of the components now.
There's still some work to do in the web interface and deploying that to the staking device but progress is being made.
It's hopefully getting towards a point I can do some useful solar testing here (Due to location I can't do much from home in winter and I've not had a strong desire to spend hours standing around in the cold to test stuff.
