Problem syncing Feathercoin Wallet
-
Hi all,
I’m new to mining as a whole, but I have a very basic idea of what it is after pool mining for a day. One thing I’ve noticed though, is that my wallet doesn’t seem to be syncing, at all - Here’s what it currently looks like.

It’s been stuck on that many blocks for 24+ hours as of now. I understand from what I’ve heard that it can take a while, but I don’t suspect it should be taking this long, or at least be stuck on that amount of blocks remaining.
If anyone can give some advice on some standard steps that I should do, that’d be great.
Thanks a lot!

Welcome to the Feathercoin forum.
Did your wallet client re-sync with the blockchain network? Let us know if it wasn’t just slow internet and you tried restarting the wallet? Which operating system do you have?. Which version of feathercoin-qt is installed, there have been some obligatory upgrades if you have downloaded the wallet a while ago.
It is impossible to diagnose the problem with the limited amount of information given.
If you want to try something else -reindex as a parameter to feathercoin-qt, if all else fails, look up how to delete the Block database files and re download them.
I’ve seen on the Bitcoin and Litecoin forum as well that installs can occasionally stall. I think this is fixed in our latest Feathercoin 0.8.5 Beta3 release. We are just getting ready to package RC1 now. So you could try upgrading to that, it is very stable.
Download Windows 0.8.5 from the link below.
