Gabi will be posting an update for us all pertaining to the starto launch scheduled for 10 a.m. (gmt+2) tomorrow just as soon as he gets to his keyboard. 

Thank you Joe! Great community members are a very large part of what makes a great coin a truly great coin and I thank you for your contributions!

Please everyone, verify you are on the correct EGC blockchain. You can do so using the block explorer at http://158.69.205.238:3001 (transactions.evergreencoin.org) If you are uncertain how to do this follow these directions: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1272091.msg14967592#msg14967592   If you find that you are on an incorrect blockchain, please close your wallet immediately and do not reopen it until you are ready to do a complete resync. If you are uncertain how to do a complete resync follow these directions: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1272091.msg14926046#msg14926046  

It is of the utmost importance the entire network is on the same and correct blockchain. Thank you in advance for verifying you are not fortifying an incorrect fork of the blockchain.

getblockhash 429305 = f7a572bb96a64c04c650a3dae6e2b301f2185c0f8f057e6841eb2f26522fa983

p.s. I know it has been asked of me to address the richlist on the block explorer. I believe it is broken as a residual effect of me repeatedly dropping tables when I was trying to get it on the correct blockchain. At this time I do think it is best to leave it in a functional state so people can verify block hashes and not re-index because it will be useless for verifying correct block hashes and therefore blockchains for 4-6 hours when I do so. Your request has not gone ignored or forgotten, only placed on hold until a 4-6 hour downtime could be better tolerated.

Thank you SiD!

Thank you Joe! And thank you kindly for your tweets and helping to spread the word.

I sincerely thank you, and apologize that it is still needed, for your diligence to verify all your rigs are on the correct chain, bathrobehero. I know very well how fearful the anticipation of "getblockhash" has become as of late. I know I am not the only one that must be saying a small prayer before pressing enter. The good thing is we are not seeing a seednode on an incorrect fork. I can't tell you how many times I have had to resynce the faucet's wallet, but I know I am not the only one that has lost count. I thank you all for taking this time to verify you are on the correct chain, periodically checking against the block explorer, and promptly closing the wallet if you find you are in an incorrect fork.

As far as the staking, when a wallet is brought onto the correct chain, the correct chain does "think" the wallet has been offline the entire time it was on the incorrect chain. So the correct chain does compensate for this, what it views as downtime, in the next PoS rewards on the correct chain. I proved this for a gentleman in this post.  So fortunately, PoS rewards will not suffer no matter if or how many times you find yourself in an incorrect fork. Of course, my deepest apologizes for each and every one of those times that you do.

Please everyone, take a moment to verify you are on the correct chain as I explained in this post. If you find you are in an incorrect fork, please close your wallet immediately so you are not fortifying the incorrect fork.

Thank you all for your diligence and continued patience.

You are welcome. Very glad to learn it worked!

Have you tried repairwallet from the debug console?

The block explorer is working. It is on the correct chain and it can be used to verify block hashes which will prove if you are on the correct chain.

To do this, within you EGC wallet, click on the Statistics tab. Look to see what block height you are at. At the time of this writing we are on 427914 so I will use that for example. Next click on the block explorer in the wallet. In the top left input field, type 427914 and click the Jump to Block button. You will see it output a Block Hash. In my example of block 427914 the output block hash is 038a896c2506dcf7e609281b89287c8efbec3138dc3915591ab9f2298354d156 Now go to the online block explorer at http://transactions.evergreencoin.org and in the search field, type 427914 and press the search button. You will see the block hash listed directly below the search field, labled "EGC block:" followed by the block hash. Compare this hash against the hash your wallet returned. If they are the same, you are on the correct chain. If they differ, you are on the incorrect chain. If that is the case, please immediately close your wallet and do not open it again until you are ready to do a complete resync.

I am sorry you and other community members are have difficulty staying on the correct chain. EGC does use a checkpoint server, yes. Crysx and I are monitoring this server and the other servers constantly throughout the day and verifying block hashes periodically against all the seednodes and the block explorer. They have all stayed on the correct chain and we will continue to monitor them and verify they have.

I do understand your frustration with the situation as does everyone in the EverGreenCoin community. I do share your frustration with YoBit as they have been unresponsive to support tickets, "Update/Issue/Fork" reports, pleadings in the trollbox, and tweets. If you would be so kind as to retweet this: https://twitter.com/EverGreenCoin_/status/735098400799109124  Perhaps if enough users demand action from them to get on the correct blockchain they will do so. You mentioned that you have already submitted a support ticket and I thank you for taking the time to do that as well.

Unfortunately we are at the mercy of Yobits willingness to act. If other community members have a yobit account, please submit a ticket asking them to resync their EverGreenCoin blockchain and retweet the mentioned tweet also. Even if it does not directly effect you by having EGC on yobit or having expected transactions from yobit, it is effecting us all. Perhaps stop by the trollbox and give a shout for an admin expressing the need for the matter to be addressed and the sooner addressed the better.

You are not out of luck, kiklo. Yes, the events that lead us here were unlucky but, we have been considerable lucky in resolutions. I did persist with the other 3 exchanges diligently and promptly to get them on the correct blockchain as fast as humanly possible and with not one user missing coins from their exchange account. We are very lucky for that outcome. I am making every effort to do the same with YoBit but I need them to make some effort as well. If I could get it done myself, it would have been done days ago.

I would add we are also lucky because EverGreenCoin does have a foundation. When I was faced with the incorrect first findings of C-Cex's internal audit ~24 hours ago seeking coin reconciliation of over 180k EGC to cover a later found incorrect discrepancy, I was on skype talking to C-Cex's admin discussing the options we had. A swap, the coin and blockchain being deemed broken and delisted, or the 180k EGC being covered by the foundation were the options. I can honestly tell you I was leaning towards the foundation reconciling C-Cex's books as this would have been the fastest and least detrimental and time consuming to the community. Of course I would not have made the decision alone and would have allowed for the community to debate and vote on the course of action we would follow. Very fortunately repairing C-Cex's wallet did work and there was in fact no discrepancy. We were again, very lucky.

The longer YoBit continues operation on the incorrect blockchain, the greater the damage and cost to balance their books will be. Yobit's inaction in not the fault of anyone's but Yobit. Again, I understand you are upset. Please do not direct that anger or hostility towards myself or EverGreenCoin as a whole. Their unwillingness to address the matter swiftly is their fault and myself and other members of the community, yourself included, are making every effort to urge them to get on the correct blockchain. When they do the matter of missing coins from them being on the wrong blockchain will be addressed.

I hope I have eased at least some of yours and others anger kiklo. At this point, everything possible is being done and will continue to be. Thank you in advance for your understanding and patience with the matter.


EDIT: I now see you have been in the trollbox urging them to get on the correct chain. Thank you for doing so and yes I have been as well. I promise you we will get through this and your coins will be back where they belong just as soon as possible.

Good, glad to hear it!

If you suspect your hardware is unreliable, be certain to make a copy of your wallet.dat on some form of external storage. This is a good practice on reliable hardware as well, just to be safe.

If you continue to get stuck while syncing, you may want to give the bootstrap a try. Or if you are trying with the bootstrap already, perhaps try syncing without it.

Sorry your having difficulties Joe. But you are right, the sun always rises eventually when you persist!

Recently, about an hour ago, exceeded 10 GH/s nethash for the first time to the best of my knowledge.

Thanks miners and pool operators!

That is because yobit is still on the wrong chain. If they get on the correct chain, your EGC will be there.

Please retweet this: https://twitter.com/EverGreenCoin_/status/735098400799109124  to urge yobit to get on the correct chain. Of course, making a support ticket will help as well.

Often times with these things they prioritize issues based on user demand to do so. If we speak loud enough, that will expedite the issue being addressed. Thanks in advance for your help in doing so.

I just now heard back from Richie of Bittrex....



Happy trading!

Removed. Sorry it gave you so much hassle and to see you go, oc.

Thanks for maintaining the pool as long as you had.

Yes, I see. I will investigate. Thank you for bringing this to attention.

I submitted a "Update/Issue/Fork" ticket to yobit several days ago. To this I have received no response. I just tried a test send to my yobit account and it did not arrive. This would indicate they are not on the correct blockchain.

The good news for your circumstance is c-cex, having passed their internal audits with no discrepancy, would have made a successful transfer to your yobit address. However, because yobit is not on the correct blockchain, you do not see the coins appearing in your yobit account. The good thing is, once we are able to convince yobit to move to the correct chain, your coins will be there in that address you had sent them to.

I think you will find yourself in luck! Just as soon as yobit gets on the correct chain, we will know for sure.

Everyone, please if you would be so kind, take a moment and retweet this to raise yobit's awareness and hopefully drive some action. Thanks in advance!

No apologies necessary, perfectly understandable English. Yes, the community is strong and brimming with very helpful people. I do hope through all this fork troubles the community has learned of my dedication. That is the only silver lining I can find of all these troubles, sleep deprivation, and darn near strokes it has caused. Yes of course I know member's of the community have stressed over financial losses through it as well, and I hope I have thoroughly and sincerely conveyed my concern with that matter specifically enough for people to trust it is real.

Yes, not only will the strato launch be a gigantic milestone for EGC but an achievement for crypto in general. For that, I am truly proud of EGC. Gabi has been talking of future launches as I have mentioned and some other intriguing plans that I will not mention now and steal his thunder from him. I will allow those announcements for the near future and to be done by Gabi himself. Also there has been some recent talk in the IRC by another balloon enthusiast. Unfortunately all the fork madness has pulled me away from those conversations but, surely once the dust settles and order is restored I will pick those back up. Perhaps we can bring launches to other continents also.

Yes, a payment gateway is greatly needed. I know some crypto friendly merchants that would gladly accept EverGreenCoin. A payment processing gateway would be gigantic for EGC as many environmentally friendly ("earthy", "green", "organic", ect.) merchants would find it a nice fit to their business. Of course the steady buy support would be terrific for the market as you mentioned.

The fork issue has been a speed bump no doubt. I am glad it appears we will be getting over it without it becoming a hurdle or a major hindrance. We are seeing fewer and fewer bans on the seednodes. A sure sign fewer forked blockchains and wallets are out there. I have put more than a few community members worries of disappearing coins to rest and now a couple exchanges also. We are not out of the woods yet, but I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel. I thank the many of you that have helped and stayed calm and collective. Especially crysx for reminding me to breath!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts abyaby! #ToTheTreetop
