Delegates, start your engines!

[emski]

I havent done anything since I've started the delegate 2 days ago.
Current situation:
"blockchain_head_block_num": 5892,
"blockchain_head_block_time": "20140611T202600",

Is there a convenient way to check If I'm on the "main" chain ? ( or at least with some confidence )
The number I have looks consistent with the one bytemaster shows. (it increased proportionally with time difference)
Does this mean that my delegate synchronized to the "main" blockchain ? (or at least the one bytemaster posted)

I just added a query to NTP to help keep all delegates on the same approximate time.   This should help cut down of any forks caused for this reason and simplify the setup of delegates.

[bitcoinerS]

For now if you want to sync up you can save your wallet / wipe data dir / copy wallet back in

I deleted wallet and reimported my delegate keys. Now get_info gets:

"blockchain_head_block_num": 5730,
  "blockchain_head_block_time": "20140611T190730",

I have been late for registering as initial delegate.

So I tried to register on blockchain as mentioned by ByteMaster. When I tried "wallet_account_register", it said I have insufficient fund to register (as I have zero funding).

Did anyone try register on blockchain before? Or anyway to get sufficient fund to register?

Can anyone explain the difference in blockchain_head_block_num?

Some people are on forks, eric is working on updating the fork resolution on another branch
