Looks like the network is stuck. My wallet is on block 2,647,410 and block explorer reporting the same block 2647410 last seen 12 hours 22 minutes..

I opened my wallet and unlocked it to start staking but no blocks are being produced.

Bare with us folks the chain is a bit bloated and gets stuck.  The fix and upgrades are coming along and will hopefully be introduced soon.  Crazy action on Polo today up to 124 sats!

In the meantime is there a bootstrap that can be used to sync the chain quicker? I've had to wipe my Roaming folder due to a problem and am currently re-syncing from block 1, but its already taken 2 full days and I'm not even half-way through.

Specially for you, just made a copy of block chain 05/07/2016 - block number 2648530  , just download... unzip and put that in roaming folder thats it.

If you got some coins, don't forget to copy and paste there your wallet.dat file.

Good luck

Sorry I don't check the thread as much as I should.  The bootstrap file we had pinned on the slack channel but it has vanished.  I asked the person who make the last one to re-submit it but looks like ya'll took care of it on your own.  10k pink coming your way for the bootstrap thank you very much.  New stuff coming so the bootstrap will hopefully be a thing of the past.  I like to think of the week long chain download as an initiation to the community, if your willing to wait that out then welcome!!  lol

42 sat) good byuing price

I sent the request in today, if you or others could do the same it would be really appreciated!  #thinkpink

All that is sold below 60 Satoshi is very cheap)) the potential of the 500 coins sat so spetsom course is now held in the region of 40-60 to purchase, and then up

Couple questions now that my wallet is working (thanks for the Bootstrap, really saved me several days).

1) I have coins that are staking, but they don't seem to be coming "off" staking and back to spendable. Its been several days since they started to stake and not coming back off. How many blocks does it normally take for coins to actually stake?


2) The block chain is moving extremely slowly, its meant to be around 30 seconds per block, currently its several hours for a block. This is due to the large amount of coins being held on exchanges and not on a desktop wallet that is staking (currently less than 10% of coins are staking). If you currently hold a lot of coins, I would seriously suggest getting them into a desktop wallet to stake - If the block chains moves quicker, you would get more coins staking and generate more coins for yourself.

On the same lines - Is it possible to get one or two of the exchanges to stake their coins to help revive the block chain?
