Is this the correct place for troubleshooting? I can't get Gridcoin Wallet to download the blocks. It just opens GRCRestarted.exe, hits 100% immediately and then closes (and then reopens the application)</p> <p>> I should clarify, I am clicking on "Rebuild Block Chain > Download Blocks". I have created F/W rules and also disabled the F/W with no luck. I am using <OS>. No proxy.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Until this gets fixed, you could use the <strong>UNOFFICIAL</strong> snapshots mentioned <a href="https://steemit.com/gridcoin/@erkan/howto-fix-your-gridcoin-wallet-make-it-run-again-get-in-sync">here</a>.</p> <ul> <li>1. <strong>UNOFFICIAL</strong> means those are done by volunteers, not by the "official" Gridcoin (dev) team. Thus there can happen errors, delays, ... <strong>BEST is always to use the OFFICIAL links/ressources! </strong></li> <li><strong>2. If you ask me: let your client sync from alone, which unfortunately will take a few hours, at least... but: is the "safest way".</strong></li> <li>3. Ideally you should also install the <a href="https://steemit.com/gridcoin/@erkan/new-release-gridcoin-version-3-5-9-4-not-mandatory">newest Gridcoin version 3.5.9.4</a> which has a checkpoint to block 950000 (currently we have 969k blocks in the blockchain).</li> <li><br></li> <li>In case you don't wanna wait:</li> <li> 4. see section <em>!snapshot</em> <a href="https://steemit.com/gridcoin/@erkan/howto-fix-your-gridcoin-wallet-make-it-run-again-get-in-sync">here</a> for the snapshot links</li> <li> 5. see then section "<em>!snapshot howto</em>" for how to apply it manually on your OS</li> </ul> <p><br></p> <p>Bug to mention: </p> <ul> <li>the checkpoint <a href="https://github.com/gridcoin/Gridcoin-Research/issues/417">seems not verifiable</a> via the wallet...</li> </ul> <p><br></p> </html>
