The problem is what was reported on BitcoinTalk. That makes things a bit quicker to resolve. The change has been put on to GitHub and you can download the latest Windows client from the link below.
https://downloads.feathercoin.com/feathercoin-setup-0.8.6.2.exe
I am compiling the Mac client now.
Thanks for the quick resolution! Going to try it out now.
All sync issue post mopped into support thread here https://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?/topic/6946-v0861-stuck-at-block-33582-for-many/
I have sent PM’s to users to inform them
UM
Uncle, Thank you for merging posts to my thread
It would help Peter to investigate this - to see the Debug.log entries show any further detail.
Debug is in users appdata in Windows or .feathercoin in Linux.
If any one can have a look, post any relevant messages…
Is it safe to post/attach the entire debug log here or should I PM it to someone?
I upgraded without any problems. Wonder why this happened to so many people… What version of wallet you guys had before this upgrade?
It’s fresh installs mostly - not everyone keeps an up to date chain (cold storage ect)
v0.8.6.1 Client will not sync past block 33,582
I have done all the usual tricks to get it moving and all have failed. I have asked my Feathercoin group and everyone that re-installed the client is stuck here as well.
I’ve watched it sync to 33,582 about 15 times on fresh installs/some different machines which takes only a few minutes, but then it immediately throws the following over and over again:
ERROR: AcceptBlock() : block's timestamp is too early
ERROR: ProcessBlock() : AcceptBlock FAILED
ERROR: ProcessBlock() : CheckBlock FAILED
ERROR: CSyncCheckpoint::CheckSignature() : verify signature failed
ERROR: CheckProofOfWork() : nBits below minimum work
ERROR: CheckBlock() : proof of work failed
ERROR: ProcessBlock() : already have block XXX
Installing Fresh .0.8.6.1 on pc and getting stuck on block 33,582?
Have reinstalled twice today but keeps stoping at this block and will not go further any ideas?
Thanks
Same problem as others - stuck at block 33,582

I think that this decision has the word “taxes” written everywhere… I’m really curious to see how this will develop in the future
The last I heard the IRS classifies it as bartering already. So you’re taxed at income rates, instead of the lower capital gains rates. The GAO wrote a report urging the IRS to issue clear guidance on clarification of tax rules for virtual currencies way before this happened.
I love it!
Been developing/programming for about 20 years.
Interesting, so your FAQ say the pool group supports Prop, PPLNS, and PPS - what is the FTC pool currently?
[b]Edit:[/b] just registered, I see it’s PPLNS
Time for everyone to move to bitmessage ;)
I like the bitmessage.ch Mail Gateway also.

You get +1 rep for that one sir.
But let’s be real for a second: You have it exactly right. You’re hedged against Bitcoin. But Bitcoin isn’t going anywhere. It’s not going to zero, and it’s showing a LOT of staying power around 700, despite the fact that this time last year it was under 100. You should be really clear that Bitcoin is going to come back, and when it does FTC is very likely to go back down against it, simply because it’s not nearly as well adopted.
This is where the smart people sell FTC, and the not so smart ones buy FTC. In two weeks, you’ll be hearing “When is FTC coming back?” again from the latter half of that group, and in 3-6 months, when BTC crashes again, is of course the answer.
These things are cyclic. The ONLY sure bet you can reasonably make is that fiat will continue to inflate, and crypto will continue to be adopted.

Thanks ;)
Indeed. I would say 60% of my portfolio is Delta neutral or Delta hedged in nature - I actively trade/hedge to keep it that way. The other 40% is simply diversified in BTC, LTC, and FTC long term - they partially offset each other naturally of course, but ultimately I am not concerned with the cyclic nature of that portion of my portfolio.
If you insist on keeping a wallet on the computer, at least move the .dat file to a TrueCrypt drive - you can even install the client under the TrueCrypt drive. Or install it under a Virtual machine with TrueCrypt that has limited scope. Make sure the wallet is encrypted. Before opening make sure PC is clean.

Exactly.

I’ve done mine for the day, there is some thing there about the knocking of TOR votes maybe that’s why we have gone backwards
[/quote]
Perhaps, but I think all voting was locked while they cleaned out the TOR votes. As I kept seeing other coins get voted up last night, but when I refreshed all coins were reset to a specific point. The website says there was around 8000 TOR all together for all coins, but I suspect there were more than that. I watched MED jump 10000 in a matter of minutes, although someone could have been sending BTC in.
Saw a few coins got added to exchange

FTC looks to reset to 1230 even after voting
