        Ok your wallet is new enough…

        Looks like for some reason you have a glitch though.

        Does it tell you how many days or hours behind you are with the syncing?

        Is this getting further behind?

        Basically you are not downloading any new blocks?

        now FIRST BACKUP YOUR WALLET.

        Then close the wallet

        We will try to reindex the blockchain

        I’m assuming you are using windows

        Right click on the icon you use to launch feathercoin

        Select properties

        On the line that has the directory and filename it launches go to the very end and enter ‘-rescan’ without the quotes

        Now start feathercoin and it will rescan the whole blockchain and hopefully fix the error.

        Make sure after doing this you remove ‘-rescan’ from the properties or it will do this every time you launch which you don’t want as it will take some time to do a rescan.

        If this still doesn’t work we need to try something more drastic

        Copy out the directory ‘blocks’ and ‘chainstate’ and store them else where on your pc and restart the wallet.

        It will then download the whole blockchain again but being its over a gig it will take a while.

        MAKE SURE YOU HAVE BACKED UP YOUR WALLET BEFORE YOU DO ANY OF THIS

        As long as you have a backup of your wallet you will not loose anything, forget to backup your wallet and you could regret that.

        If you don’t know where to find the blocks and chainstate directory click on the start menu and type in %appdata% in the search box and enter****

        Scroll down in the window that opens until you see feathercoin****and they will be inside this directory.

        If neither of those solution work, we will need to get someone more knowledgeable than me to help

          Ok. I am downloading the whole blockchain right now. I have already went to %appdata% and saved that entire folder along with the wallet.dat file else where on my computer. I hope I’m doing this right…

          Also, it keeps stopping at 23hrs behind and I’ll check every so often and the blocks go up by very few at a time but still says 23hrs behind.

          After this download finishes, if it doesn’t fix it, I will try the -rescan next…

          its at 300106 out of 443366 (estimated) at the moment.

            That will be file I also suggest youuse the backup wallet command inside the wallet to save the wallet.dat file to a USB stick so if you have a hard drive failure ever you still have a copy of the wallet.dat that you can then re-import.

            Odd how it always stop 23 hours behind.

            Just a silly thought is the clock on your PC showing the correct time?

            I have heard of people having issues if the CMOS battery goes flat on their PCs before

              I think so. Should the time be adjusted to something other than eastern standard? Im in the eastern timzone.

              How does the CMOS batt go flat?

                No just set it to your local time that is ok.

                The batteries can go flat if your PC is a number of years old, like any rechargeable battery they just eventually wear out, but usually most people replace their PC before the battery wears out.

                I’m talking about if your pc thinks its last month, or if its set to Eastern time but the clock is not showing the correct time for where you have set it, then that could be an issue.

                You also usually get a warning message on bootup if you have cmos battery problems.

                  Ok it stopped at 23 hours again… arrgghh

                  I need to fix this asap

                  When it reaches 23 hours the to arrows that spin in a circle that shows progress stops and says “Catching Up”…

                    I’ve asked those more knowledgeable than me to help, but can you see what block number it is stuck at?

                    You can get this by going to the console and typing

                    getinfo

                      Where exactly is the console and what is it?

                      And also it says 444762, but it never actually freezes.

                      When you hover your mouse over the green sync bar it says…

                      "Catching up…

                      Processed 444765 blocks of transaction history.

                      Last received block was generated 23 hours ago.

                      Transactions after this will not yet be visible"

                      Even though it is stuck at 23 hours, the processed block count keeps rising. Now it is at 444767.

                        Current block is 444,865 and as its about 2 hours since your post that would be about right.

                        Something odd is going on here because if you are up to block 444765 you are up to date.

                        Sounds to me like you have some odd time stamp issue going on.

                        To get to the console, click on the help menu optin in the wallet, then select ‘Debug window’ then click on the console tab and you are there

                        If you type help into the box at the bottom it will give you a list of commands you can use

                        If you type getinfo in there it will list the latest block you have synced to.

                        Then go to a FTC mining website and see what they list as the latest block.

                        If they are the same or only 1 or 2 different you are up to date, as it can sometimes take a minute or 2 for the latest block to propagate to all wallets.

                        If you look here http://www.wemineftc.com/stats

                        It will give the stats the blockchain is up to.

                        If your wallet and the website above agree its the same block it would make me think its still some odd issue with the time on your PC.

                        Have you set the clock on windows to automatically sync itself to the correct time?

                          Well, when I check the debug window the blocks are matching up, but for some reason won’t go past 23 hours.

                          Figured out the issue. I had to go in to my computers time settings and sync time with an online source. Wow, what a pain the arse.

                          Thanks so much for your help tmuir12. As soon as this next transaction goes through, I’ll hook you up!

                            I had a feeling it was something to do with the time on your pc.

                            An extra check the wallet does is check the timestamps on the blocks against the time on your PC and if the timestamp on the block is out of whack with your PC it won’t fully sync up.

                            Its a pain but its essentially part of the security protocol of the block chain to stop people faking blocks.

                            Glad you got it sorted in the end.

                                Ok guys, I’m having another issue. I recently made a withdraw from an exchange server I use when I got this new wallet and I never received it. I though it was due to the syncing, but after going back n forth with the company, they sent me where the coins went too and it is not my address.

                                BUT, the flip to this is, when you type in my FTC wallet address which is 6jkohpNx6JTkib8eWEMVqqEDa7xWJALAbx (current wallet) is brings up 796QgvgEoUvdY2GjXegpKxW1CdDSvp8SKu. How in the crap can this happen?

                                Thanks for all the support by the way.

                                Check it out…

                                https://bitinfocharts.com/feathercoin/address/6jkohpNx6JTkib8eWEMVqqEDa7xWJALAbx << see my current address in the URL and it pulls up that other address.

                                    I noticed this too and I’m not sure why its doing that. But it looks like bitinfocharts is on a fork of the block chain anyway try http://explorer.Feathercoin.com for the real chain. :)

                                      There is at least one other post here on the forum describing the same problem.

                                      My personal guess is, that the explorere at bitcoininfocharts has not been upgraded to use neoscrypt, so that the wallet address is not decoded correctly.

                                        I also recommend to update to 0.8.7.1 as soon as possible.

                                        The Linux versions on the FTC main page are already updated, the new version for windows will be available soon

                                            not necessarily.

                                            if you can find the transaction in the blockchain with the official feathercoin explorer and the to address is correct the coins should arrive sometimes.

                                            If the exchange server you sent the coins from has been on the old hashing algorithm at the time of sending, there is a big chance the the coins are gone or at least it will last a very long time until the coins come back on that exchange.

                                            The reason for this is, that some clients are still not updated and your coins may be in the wrong branch of the blockchain. If that branch becomes invalidated, the transaction will be reversed and the coins will be on the exchange again.
