Thanks, will try without the conf.

Have you updated the Conf file?
Add :
addnode=ambercoin01.mooo.com
addnode=ambercoin02.mooo.com
addnode=ambercoin03.mooo.com

Are you on Linux, Mac or Windows?
Try launching with the parameter : --connect=ambercoin01.mooo.com

hmmm.... after almost 2 days of being only connected to the 3 main nodes, no listening etc., i happen to have another fork somewhere around 3 hours ago... happend with the wallet I'm solomining for said almost 2 days straight.

now, after performing a rollback (and retrieving a new ip from my isp as the wallet of course became banned), it synced just fine.
yet, I wonder how the fork could happen in the first place while being only connected to the reference nodes...

...maybe we're looking at the wrong place, might be time to call an exorcist     ...or, considering it is AMBER, something like a seismologist or geologist

I had the same issue yesterday. I'm not the expert on block chains, but something is very strange here.
What did help on my site, at least for the last 10 hours (with 3-4 staked blocks) is below. I did not use any conf file.

I'm investigating this kind of * too. Staking, solomining. Last transactions 17:37 GMT (solomine 0.50 AMBER) and 19:27 GMT (stake). There was no 3-party connections (very often checked by getpeerinfo too), only the 3 mooo-s:
--ambercoin.conf--
server=1
listen=0
addnode=ambercoin01.mooo.com
addnode=ambercoin02.mooo.com
addnode=ambercoin03.mooo.com
--/ambercoin.conf--
It can be big help if wallet logs instead of "disconnected" something like "disconnected. banned for forking/old wallet/[something] mismatch/etc." Or even "disconnected. banned (for xx hours)." can be very big help - walletowner can see that "problem with me", not the infrastructure.
Second wallet, staking, not solomining, stays online and staking.
So, solomining can make forking? Antho281 you solomining too?

I have seen big rate of rejected blocks while solomining, different miners: 16%, 32%, 7% etc. My solomine wallet with solomining 280x has 1-core AMD Sempron (other miners connect here). Other miners and even local machine miner say often something like "...not providing work fast enough". Present fork may be some timing issue? BTW I have seen this kind of message always while solomining BTQ (quark) too.

Connection is 100/100 mbps fibre dedicated.
There must be something, not just code Or...
EDIT: This ban to me seems come from all 3 mooo-s

We'll need to send you the exorcist too then.. haha



I'm in

Hope this helps you:
I never solo mined and had the same issues with the same conf above (without server=1). Got also banned by the server. After getting on the right chain I deleted the conf and started it again. Since 12h is seems to work fine (previously I got every 2-3 hours to another fork and need to resync from the backup).
MAC OS.
