Is there a new wallet in the makes? I just saw this error in the qt-client version: "v1.1.6.4-gdf9d55a-cgb":
WARNING: Checkpoint is too old. Wait for block chain to download, or notify developers.
But I am fully synced to the network and I have a green check in my wallet.
I recall Merc writing about an updated client, how is this work proceeding? Any new features?
Merry Christmas to all and especially all fellow CGB holders!
I will update checkpoints soon but you shouldn't be seeing that warning. Perhaps your client lost the checkpoint data. Close your client and delete the blk0001.dat, blkindex.dat and peers.dat files in your data folder and then run your client to download the block chain from start. Don't touch any other files. The message should be gone once complete. Don't be alarmed if your balance is wrong, it will be correct once the block chain download is complete.
I am still seeing this error on numerous clients built from source. Deleted block chain data etc multiple times, nothing gets rid of the error.
if you go to Help->Debug Window console tab and type the command: getcheckpoint
then your output should be
"synccheckpoint" : "000000001da3185b0b68ac3499084fd96e95487f62700f5ffd040bd8b4d58398",
"height" : 183993,
"timestamp" : "2013-11-02 20:45:11 UTC"
If not then you'll get that warning. A sudden shut down of the computer from loss of power is a common reason for getting this message because the client will lose the checkpoint data. Deleting everything except your wallet.dat and config file in your data folder has always got rid of the message. The next client version 2.0 should see this issue occur less frequently.
getcheckpoint gives:
{
"synccheckpoint" : "000002655a721555160ea9bcb1072faf63ff0c8dffed173d60b1d3556a134dc1",
"height" : 0,
"timestamp" : "2013-06-27 16:52:05 UTC"
}
The clients are running on dedicated servers. hosted in data centers with no power loss issues. No other coins on the same machines have this issue.
Deleting everything except wallet and conf file does
not get rid of this problem. I have tried many times.
