Hi all,
I have just reloaded our wallets on a windows system.
Currently we are on block 835,237. I see 8 active connections on the SolarCoin network.
I'll explain what I did so that this may be of help to others.
I was running ver2.0.1 and i hadn't synced the blockchain for more than 9 days (I was away on holidays) so it was a block 815,000 or similar.
Then I opened the ver2.0.1 wallet, downloaded ver2.0.3 from within the wallet. Re-installed ver2.0.3. And then restarted.
Then I looked at the blockchain sync process. It seems that at block 835,213 the wallet that was running ver2.0.3 stopped downloading new blocks (I suspose this was the fork?). So, then I followed Steves instructions and downloaded the bootstrap. I can't emphasize this point enough, follow the instructions to download the bootstrap and reload the blockchain. I did the manual process of replacing the mentioned files.
Then when I turned on the ver2.0.3 wallet again and then was able to sync up to 835,237. The wallet says that I am staking sometimes and tells me an estimated interest rate, when not staking it says "In Sync" and "Earning stake time."
Thanking you,
Great work to all.
Yours in the sun generating interest.

Hello SolarCoin Community,
As you may have noticed, the fork occurred at 835000, a slight oversight on my part before leaving for a needed sanity button reset.
Here's what I need everyone to do. Check your block height by hovering your mouse over the Sync/Staking icon. At the time of this writing, you should be at height 835224. If you are at a larger or lesser height, please go to File->Reload Blockchain, download the bootstrap and restart to get on the main chain.
If you have trouble getting the Download to work in the wallet, you can get it here:
http://solarcoin.org/downloads/bootstrap.zipTo manually install the bootstrap, shut down the wallet, remove blk0001.dat and txleveldb in your data directory, extract the contents of bootstrap.zip, and move the contents to your data directory.
It looks like the 10% cap is working. If you would like to share the results of your staking, please post them here.

EDIT: We need as many wallets staking as possible to get the blockchain moving along a 1 bpm.
EDIT: If you are mining on 1.5, please turn off your miners as you will be wasting electricity on anything past 835000.
