      im doing it from my laptop , i3 with 8gig of ram , ssd .

      So woke up today and i think it finished syncing , fire up feathercoin app and now i get an error message saying "connect a new block to chainactive , failed to read block " .and then shutsdown

      Tha hell is wrong with this wallet why is it only problems , what are the devs going to do if it ever becomes mainstream and everyone wants to buy themselves some FTC .

      i uninstalled and re installed but i still get the message . Do i have to delete everything again and download restart the whole process again ?

        @engetsu - I deleted the swearing as this is a highjack of someone else welcome thread.

        You can try : Start the client with the -reindex command-line option.

        Otherwise yes, the bitcoin programmers have included error checking in the code that you sometimes have to do something about , sorry.

          @engetsu - I appreciate your frustration. We are working to sort out all of these sync issues in our next release.

          if you’re on windows…

          • make a shortcut to feathercoin-qt on your desktop
          • right click and click properties
          • add the following to the end of the Target path

          "C:\Program Files\Feathercoin\feathercoin-qt.exe" -maxorphantx=5000 -maxblockorphans=12000 -dbcache=4096 -rescan

          let us know how you get on.

              Could you please go into more detail?

              “Doesn’t work” makes it hard for us to provide support.

                      Hi @Anema

                      this is the expected behaviour. You just need to leave your machine on and set it to not go onto standby or sleep mode.

                      Leaving it on for 1 week 24/7 - and you can guarantee it’s been online that whole time… then something else might be wrong with your setup.

                      The orphan blocks are blocks that have to be processed - in the past Feathercoin had attacks on it’s blockchain and this caused orphan chains to happen.

                        I think from now on the best thing to do just leave the computer open . About my setting I have no idea I just downloaded the setup and then Install it . I dont think I have a problem with my firewall or anything else. Ty for the info btw

                                        Ok, reporting in.
                                        Tested fresh download, install and sync.
                                        The sync ended last night (i was sleeping at the time), time now is +4d10h, so the sync stopped at about ~ +4d5h

                                        The sync was done on an HP TM2-2190,
                                        gpu is Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500MHD (it has a switchable ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4550 gpu but i wanted it to run cooler if it was about to stay on for a long time).
                                        Energy cpu profile was min5% max 100%.
                                        Resource monitoring showed an average cpu usage of
                                        core1: ~20% and core2: ~70%

                                        Internet connection is an ADSL2+ synced at 19mbps down/1mpbs up
                                        Internet interruption occured once a day - based on my router scheduling
                                        Internet outages - only Isp and God knows, forgot not to auto flush router log, sorry

                                          It is the CPU that matters, HP TM2-2190 is quite a “slow” (1.2GHz) notebook laptop. The 50% average CPU usage shows why it took 4 1/2 days…
