The new ANN (OP) thread hasn't been posted yet, just waiting for everyone to update & also updating it a little more. Thanks for the fix, sure cecilbdemented will be glad to have a helping hand on anything that could be fixed.

Edit: The revision to the new ANN is a few post down/up, just an addition to a post for now & will start the new thread tomorrow.

Thank you, here are both mine & cecilbdemented's addresses. We don't have an updated block explorer yet, but GrinZ has made contact about waiting for an update (seems to be still looking at tom14cat14's OP) & have pointed him toward the new (soon to be updated OP). Now if we can get Block Experts to update as well, that all depends on if the person who had FIRE added to Block Experts is also updating to the new wallet? If anyone wants to help contact them & request them to update the explorer to the new wallet. I have sent them a message via Twitter ( https://twitter.com/blockexplorer ), but it would help if anyone who updated also sends a request to update

First tx shows that I've been with FIRE since the start, trying to help & keep the FIRE going. Even after everyone abandon FIRE (twice), I'm still trying to help (not as a dev, but a community member willing to help) & just want to show trust to the community. Maybe then a very skilled Developer will see what I see FIRE could be in the very long term dedication to FIRE could achieve

Has also shown a lot of hard work on TECH, which I kindly ask him if he could help FIRE out & he is the one that should get any donations for the fix. I'm just learning & can only offer the coding of the ANN (OP) & working on another website + other social media sites for FIRE

P.S. We don't have a Development Fund wallet, any donations will be in the new ANN thread (OP) upon creation though.

[ANN][FIRE] FireCoin --- original post updated & new thread created on March 1, 2015

Just keep your wallet open & staking, posting also shows there's community support. The more community support we see, the more updates we will work on & try our best to keep the FIRE community happy. The new ANN thread will be posted sometime this weekend (+ many other things), also hope to make a few updates to the wallet design & will wait a few weeks to see some community support (also need the block explorers updated, PM's have been sent). The wallet logo redesign will be just a simple flame, which is our way of a small update & still leaving an option for someone to offer a better one. Trying to keep the community happy & still leave room for anyone to help is the goal, thanks again for showing support for FIRE

There are now two PROTOCOL_VERSIONS = 60013 & PROTOCOL_VERSION = 70013

// earlier versions not supported as of Feb 2012, and are disconnected
static const int MIN_PROTO_VERSION = 209; // old code

// earlier versions not supported as of Feb 2015, and are disconnected
static const int MIN_PROTO_VERSION = 70013; // updated code

//("Generated coins must mature 60 blocks before they can be spent. When you generated this block, it was broadcast to the network to be added to the block chain. If it fails to get into the chain, its state will change to \"not accepted\" and it won't be spendable. This may occasionally happen if another node generates a block within a few seconds of yours.") // old code

//("Generated coins must mature 15 blocks before they can be spent. When you generated this block, it was broadcast to the network to be added to the block chain. If it fails to get into the chain, its state will change to \"not accepted\" and it won't be spendable. This may occasionally happen if another node generates a block within a few seconds of yours.") // updated code

Wallet 2.0 & 3.0 will be on a different chain, with 24 hour stake age (60 confirmations).
The new updated 4.0 wallet is set to 1 hour stake age with (15 confirmations).
It's up to the community if they want to update or stay on the old chain with rouge nodes & forked chains being seen in it. Will keep updating the new wallet if the community wants us too? Enjoy the new wallet, keep the FIRE going.

Less than 30 mins, then the 4.0 wallet will be released.

2 hours from now, will be the update to the new client (v4.0).

New release later tonight, about 12 hours from now. Will post here & Twitter, 2 hours before & then 30 minutes before. All old wallets will not work (2.0 & 3.0), you will need to update to the new clients (v4.0).

I think it should be ready tomorrow & will post to twitter again, so no one misses out.


The blockchain is one of the main reasons we are forking it, there are two chains other than the correct one & that needs to be fixed. Sounds like the new 4.0 wallet will block all old nodes (bad nodes & chains) & everyone will have to be on the 4.0 wallet, if we would have let it sit any longer..

As done with TECH, everything will be on github. I'm in the process of creating a new website for FIRE as well, just something to keep all the info easily accessible for the community & any designs or videos the community might want to create would really help (my artistic graphics designs are not very good). As with TECH, this isn't a ICO/IPO/ITO or any type of development funds were created & its all up to the community where this coin (app) goes (for the most part). Many are resorting to gambling to create funds to use for development, but feel that isn't what this one needs & will find other ways to build with something for anyone (all walks of life). There are many other ways to build something good here, it's not going to just happen overnight & will take much time/effort. Seeing a few ideas of FIRE element & others together might be part of the future for FIRE, but nothing is set in stone.

If you have any questions about anything, please feel free to post or send a PM. Like cecilbdemented stated "We want active community members to help us test this new fork and make sure that it's functional before we try to attract new members. Your assistance and feedback will be crucial!".

We are testing the new wallet now, will keep you posted & thinking that Friday will be a required update & new ANN thread will be created.

I'm sure everything will work out, just when the chain picks back up.. Split your coins (smaller tx's), so you have multiple chances to stake & keep the network average speed steady. Should really add some info on that to the OP as well, so people understand the PoS & how to utilize it the best way. Still learning it though, which if I would have listen to biomech's post months ago. Might have had that all covered, started to & was just too caught up in other things.

The detailed tutorial of customization on the wallet design, games, books, & many other things could be the key. Had to test it out & being able to create your own design + learning is great to see, here is what I designed with my wallet

Didn't really go into detail with all the graphics yet, will later when GAIA is older & wiser though

Step 7 *optional*

If you would like to check your wallet for coins that may not be showing up in your wallet, click on “Help”, “Debug Window” and click on the Console tab.

Type Checkwallet to check for any coins that may be missing and should say “wallet check passed” : true

If it returns “Mismatched Coins” Type Repairwallet and it will fix your balance.


// If that doesn't work, try closing your wallet & adding this to your configuration file.

rescan=1

MintCoin.conf

That's to bad, but didn't really expect them to be interested in a wallet in need of a fix anyway. Maybe if we can get it fixed & working good again, but surely only value as of now is interesting & not value say a year or two from now.


It will always show not sync'd if the blocks are over 2 hours apart, so if anyone holding FIRE doesn't open to stake & keep the chain moving.. It's not going to move at all, which there's a fix & anyone not watching might lose out later when they check in on FIRE. Let's hope they check on FIRE soon & open their wallet to start the chain moving again. Give it a few more days & then there's no other option than forking to a new wallet. It could be that anyone who had the wallet, kept the wallet.dat & deleted the blockchain folders. Could be the delisting on Bittrex, some only hold on the exchange & not in the wallet? It's currently not able to sync from a new wallet right now, sticks on block 4000 (switch from PoW to PoS didn't update the code for the transition). The wallet should have started with 1.0 anyway (2.0 & 3.0 is an error on the point system), so if the wallet is forked & fixed.. It will be reset back to 1.0.3.1 (or along those lines), just have to wait & see if cecilbdemented can fix it like he did with TECH. There hasn't been a single post or PM from anyone about FIRE lately & no exchanges, so a fix isn't really a priority as of now. Should have something this weekend or beginning of the week though, but all depends on the amount of free time that he has to spend on it.

Edit: Sticks @ 4500 after opening on being stuck on 4000. If you reopen it @ 4500, it will start to sync past 4500 & same with 5000.

I open the wallet with rescan=1 though, that could be what is helping it sync from a new wallet

Nice addition to MINT, just tested it & thought I'd post a photo of the feature. Will test the android wallet later, has anyone installed the wallet on the Linux Mint 17.1 O.S.? I installed it a few months ago for another wallet, but it would fit better with MINT

Edit: OP code updated = https://github.com/TestingCrypto/ANN-OP-Thread-BBcode/commit/9f90f2db37c4bf7a167c9c2c0dcf237e85fe25db

Thank you for taking the initiative, please let me know what their reply is & if they would be interested in FIRE. Would be nice to see FIRE go to a good cause & sure it could be very useful in the future, as many apps are. Crypto is starting to show many good things it could be used for, not just one or two things, but many features. I'm sure it's going to take many years to perfect it, which is what we have been seeing over the last few years (last year the most). Sure there's a lot of bad in crypto, but if we let all the bad things stop innovation, we would still be in the stone ages.

Thanks GrinZ, tip/donation sent for the faucet. Will send another in a week or two, any chance of adding Twitter & Reddit under links as well? Thanks again BTC

The faucet is up & working now, depending on how fast the community depletes it (0.01 FIRE every 12 hours)...
There may be more put into FIRE development, so please utilize it to keep the network going
If you already have a major % of FIRE, please think about donating & helping those who really need it
