    Don't worry guys, the dev is out of town for a few days. As long as all the pools and exchanges are on the same chain what more do you need to hear from him? Coinwarz seems to have taken us down rather than resync their wallet, but I'm sure we'll be added back if the community pulls together. Digitalmint is suspended so just mine on another pool. Always have failovers. Periodically check and make sure your miner and wallet are on the same chain as the pools especially if you are solomining. If you see way more CGA in your wallet than you should have, you need to delete your bad chain data and resync. The longer you wait the more lost hashing time you will have. CGA hasn't been the most noob friendly coin, but I haven't had much trouble keeping updated and on the official chain. We are expecting a new update to boost the block time to 60 seconds and hopefully resolve these forking and sync issues that keep coming up. Keep the faith. These low hash periods are the best time to mine, just make sure you are competing with the rest of the network and not off on your own chain.

    Thanks for trying to fill in the vacuum with some data. People like to be kept informed and up to date on what's going on. If they don't get it....uff!

    Newb question: "check and make sure your miner and wallet are on the same chain as the pools especially if you are solo mining."
    How exactly do I do that? I'm still learning Wink
    Also, I'm mining DOGE for fast exchangeable profit right now. Need to buy more hashing power. But I want to get back to mining new coins like NAUT pretty soon too. All the more reason to have more miners going. Wink
    Thanks

    To definitvely check this, go to your wallet and go to the console and type getinfo, this will tell you the current block. Then type getblockhash for a recent block number. Then compare this hash to the block explorer. Usually though, just making sure the block height matches is enough.


    Okay.
    Before I do that. when I start CGA, a popup shows "Corrupted block database detected - Do you want to rebuild the block database now?"
    The only options are OK and Abort. Is this normal? Is it safe to select OK? I mean, last time I saw this I was suspicious of it having been corrupted in other ways like unleashing a virus in to my system or worse, stealing my coins.
    Thank you!

    I haven't seen that one yet, but I'm sure it's safe to hit OK and let it try to fix it. You may have to delete your bad chain data manually if it doesn't work. Just follow the instructions from a page or two back.
