What did happen?

With the recent Hard Fork the network split in to chains. The HF chain and non-fork chain:

the-moment-ethereum-historically-hardforked

There is the possibility that you are on the non-fork chain.

This could have happened if:

  • you didn't update Etherum-Wallet to 0.8.1.
  • you updated to 0.8.1 and chose to oppose the HF (instructing Ethereum-Wallet to sync with the non-fork chain)

Am I affected?

You are affected if you didn't update to 0.8.1 before Ethereum-Wallet synced past block 1,920,000.

Please compare the block-number in Ethereum-Wallet:

unbenannt-7

With the ones found on http://fork.ethstats.net:

unbenannt-8

What can I do?

You will have to delete or rename the chaindata folder. (If you still have plenty of storage you are better off with renaming it so that you can switch back - if there was need - without having to do a full resync again.)

Please do only one step at a time:

  1. download Ethereum-Wallet 0.8.1 (link)
  2. open Ethereum-Wallet 0.8.1
  3. go to menu -> develop -> "The DAO" Fork -> Support DAO Fork
  4. go to menu -> accounts -> backup -> accounts
  5. switch to the parent folder, you should be able to find the chaindata folder
  6. close Ethereum-Wallet
  7. remove or rename the chaindata folder
  8. open Ethereum-Wallet - you will now be syncing to the chain of your choice
