Aye, the same thing worked for me too. Took a while to DL the 52+GB on my internet connection.

That worked! Thanks delone70 and everyone for the help. 

Cool, me too. I've still got a ways to go before I'm synchronized..

Thanks Oliver.

I cleared my G:\ProgramData\bitmonero folder and it's rebuilding it now; imagine this will work based on what delone70 said.

Launched monerod.exe and monero-wallet-cli.exe and everything looks fine. I don't see any client-side issues. 

How can I verify a payment was actually sent to my wallet?

This is the command line monero wallet. It needs to connect to a monero
daemon to work correctly.

I'm going to relaunch daemon with more logging on and see what's in the logs. I'm on Win7 x64. I see "Error: Couldn't connect to daemon: 127.0.0.1:18081" when showing daemon status, however the GUI shows okay, connected, and sync'd and netstat shows local sockets connected (shown below).

## Below is a screenshot of what the Monero client shows for status:

// Started with: 
monero-gui-v0.11.1.0 for Win x64 of official Monero client w/ wallet (from https://getmonero.org/downloads/) 
fully synch'd and daemon running

// This morning (4/22/18) upgraded to: 
0.12.0.0 Lithium Luna for Win x64 of official Monero client w/ wallet (from https://getmonero.org/downloads/) 
fully synch'd and daemon running

No change. No deposit.

Prior to the fork everything was fine with transactions (coinfoundry and otherwise), but this is the first one I've had since. Later this morning I'll do some reading and see what else I can do on the client side.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks to everyone that provided feedback. I'm a noob.
