bitcoin core 0.10.1 upgrade stuck syncing I just upgraded from Bitcoin Core 0.9 to 0.10.1 on Ubuntu 14.4 after being gone for a few months (blockchain data is from February).  When I loaded up bitcoin-qt, it seemed to be working fine and began correctly syncing the missing blocks.  I then quit bitcoin-qt and later restarted the system and it now refuses to get blocks after February 28th, 2015.

I get the following error repeatedly:

ERROR: AcceptToMemoryPool : nonstandard transaction: non-final


I am now attempting a -reindex -rescan, but it looks like this will take a day week or so on my old system due to its older CPU.

Any other suggestions?

Additional notes:


I confirmed that port 8333 was open and node was visible on bitnodes.io with multiple incoming connections.
The message ERROR: AcceptToMemoryPool is to do with your node accepting new transactions from the network and doesn't have anything to do with your local sync state. It just means that someone made a transaction and broadcast it to you which does not respect the rules of your current software version. 

It should really be "INFO" rather than error, or simply just not logged at all.
