All old nodes are either no longer online or not on the new wallet which is why your wallet doesn't update past 17533.  I sent an email to coin-base.info asking if they would be kind enough to set up a public node to connect to since they seem to be the only pool mining on the correct blockchain right now.

not mining right now, since coin-base.info's message is "I disable temporaly the payout. A few users have problems. I search the error." Anyone know if its safe to mine there? They have most of the net hash.

If nothing happens soon there is another option - delete the db and sync from scratch. New clients will reject any blocks after 17520 that were generated by an old client, but will be able to mine from that point, so long as they have at least one active peer. This will kick start the new fork. Note that doing this will negate all of the blocks found by coin-base so it's really a last resort thing.

To get onto their chain all we need is for ONE of us to connect to coin-base's astrocoin client and download the block chain... but coin-base.info is not listening on port 14333. Their client is either using a different P2P port, or another IP. Also heed my warning about private forks if they did not update prior to block 17520; if their chain is to be adopted as the official one but they didn't upgrade before 17520 then the fork point will need to be updated in the client (ie, another release)

Setting up a node! Await!

Reply from our very helpful friends at coin-base.info!

I went looking for block chain explorers for Astrocoin.

Found 2 but they are out of date on old data.


http://altexplorer.net/

AstroCoin   ASR   17533


and,


http://cryptexplorer.com/chain/AstroCoin

Block   
17519

the mining will be better.

KGW Kicks in on the exact forking point and starts to first use of KGW on the next , it's quite simultaneous.

I've updated the conf on the OP with the coin-base node as well as my node with the correct chain from Coin-base.
Do let me know when you've synced my friend also we need more nodes on the new wallet , since it's a cat fight over here lol.

Cheers!
