Hello dnp,
it's a fresh wallet.dat too, it ran okay earlier in the day and was all caught up with the one node at that time.
The "network" primarily has been the node I published earlier in the week and one Windows 7 node which is connected with it.
About 10 hours ago, I rebooted my hypervisor and had forgot to restart the Windows wallet so that there would be at least one connection to the other node.
I've started it back up and also ran another test with the updated code on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and it is syncing now too.
I see you're not exactly running my build. There are some key differences in your output compared to what is produced by the published code.

Notably, the src/main.cpp line cited in your assertion error does not match up here. Your code suggests SetBestChain is defined starting in line 1802 while in the code I've shared it is declared in line 1784.
There are some other notable differences during startup I have highlighted above from your post.
Here is what a debug.log startup sequence looks like with the code I have shared.

The sources in the repository are nearly identical to the original code published in 2014.
The changes are all cleanly visible in the commit history.
I have also prepared a Linux binary.
You may find it on the releases page of the repository
here.
Please note it too is linked with Berkeley DB v5.3.
i'm also a bit unclear, it this simply a 'test' network or a serious attempt at hardforking everyone over to the new pch value?
This is a transparent and serious attempt to repair the network and to prevent unintentional forks due to the error reports and failures shared here last weekend.
In terms of inspecting the changes to the original code and seeing what was modified is exactly what was advertised - I think the commits make this possible for most people quite easily.
I was motivated to do the work because it would have a serious impact on the health and longevity of the Noodlyappendagecoin network.
Best Regards,
-Chicago
