UPDATE

We have contacted all exchanges and provided them with the information on how to update their exchange wallets so they can open up withdrawals, deposits, and trading.

We will provide updates as exchanges come back online.

Likely going to be one more day until we contact them. Then hopefully less than a day for them to get up and running again.

If everything goes well and exchanges don't lag, should be good to go by tomorrow afternoon barring any issues.

UPDATE

Important!

Mandatory Wallet Update (Version 1.2.3)

Please update all of your local wallets and masternodes to the latest version 1.2.3 as soon as possible. You will need likely need to remove everything except for wallet.dat and masternode.conf(if applicable) from your Bulwark Data directory before launching 1.2.3 to initiate a full new sync.

Additionally, please insert the following addnodes in your bulwark.conf:

addnode=bwk1.masterhash.us:52543
addnode=bwk2.masterhash.us:52543
addnode=bwk3.masterhash.us:52543
addnode=bwk4.masterhash.us:52543
addnode=bwk5.masterhash.us:52543
addnode=bwk6.masterhash.us:52543
addnode=bwk7.masterhash.us:52543
addnode=bwk8.masterhash.us:52543
addnode=bwk9.masterhash.us:52543
addnode=bwk10.masterhash.us:52543

UPDATE

Just wanted to keep everybody up to date. Due to the number of wallets needing to be updated to 1.2.2 and with the numbers we've seen, Option #1 is going to take much longer than we'd prefer.

As such, we'll be going with Option #2. We are currently testing a new mandatory wallet version tonight and will be releasing tomorrow. Please keep an eye on our Discord, Telegram, Twitter, Wechat, and Bitcointalk threads as we will announce and provide a link to download the new wallet on these platforms once it is ready for public release.

I haven't reported any of your posts. You're more than welcome to ignore our announcements, discussions, and information we're providing to the community and make up conspiracy theories all you like based on things you seem to know very little about.

If enough people update and we run the spork so it can do it's job appropriately, addnodes won't be necessary. We will provide them IF needed.

UPDATE

For the sake of transparency, we want to keep everyone up to date with what we're doing. This is where we're currently at:

Option 1
Step 1:  Get all wallets, masternodes, and pools on 1.2.2
Step 2: Run Spork again to get everything pulled together correctly.
Step 3: Provide addnodes if necessary

Option 2:
Step 1: Release a new wallet update to force everybody onto the same chain
Step 2: Get every wallet, pool, and masternode updated.
Step 3: Provide addnodes if necessary

To Update Your Wallet:
1. Download 1.2.2 from github at https://github.com/bulwark-crypto/Bulwark/releases/tag/1.2.2

To Update Your Masternode:
1. Download 1.2.2 from github at https://github.com/bulwark-crypto/Bulwark-MN-Install onto VPS
2. Run update_node.sh

If you're having issues opening the wallet after updating to 1.2.2:
1. Delete everything but wallet.dat in your Bulwark data directory (you may also keep masternode.conf if applicable)
2. Restart the wallet using version 1.2.2 executable

If you're already updated to 1.2.2:
1. Leave the wallet open.
2. Be patient
3. There is no specific chain or block you should be on currently. If you're updated, just leave it alone and be patient.

Following these two will immensely help speed up the time frame in which we are able to push this fix through.


With all of these issues, be sure to save a local copy of your .dat and .conf files in case you run into any trouble just to be on the safe side.

We are currently attempting to handle this via Option #1 considering a mandatory update isn't something anybody really wants to deal with unless absolutely necessary. If we cannot perform this fix in a timely manner, we will move on to Option #2.

UPDATE

We are going to be utilizing a Spork to attempt to fix the chain issues we're having at this time and get everybody on the same chain.

The Spork will essentially be forcing a reindex on the network of the last portion of blocks in which these splits have caused issues. The goal in doing this is to coerce the network majority to come to consensus on a single chain sooner rather than later by waiting and hoping it does so in a timely manner and without causing any additional issues that may arise.

While this is active, it is imperative that NOBODY reindex, rebuild, or otherwise try to "fix" their wallet. Doing so may result in unwanted issues or potentially lost coins. Please do not under any circumstance do anything other than leave your wallet open while the Spork is doing what it is designed to do.

We will be leaving the Spork activated to do what it needs to for 10+ hours. As soon as we are comfortable and can verify that it has done what it needs to, we will be sure to instantly inform the community of what the next step, if any, users will need to take.

Thank you for your support and patience.

The coins get locked in your local wallet where you have access to them at any time. The actual masternode itself is hosted on a VPS.

Could you reword this? I'm not entirely sure what information you're looking for.

If you're having issues synchronizing your wallet, make sure you're updated to version 1.2.2 of the wallet. Then, delete everything in your appdata/roaming/bulwark folder except wallet.dat and masternode.conf(if you have one) then open up the wallet with the new 1.2.2 executable and let the wallet sync.

We contacted them 4 days ago and had them update their exchange wallet accordingly. If we're down for some other reason there, they haven't reached out to us to let us know why.

Staking isn't active yet. It's only PoW/MN right now. PoS will activate around December 2018.

I just spoke to them and they're working on it now. It's a pretty simple fix so I'm assuming they'll be back up soon.

Edit: Cryptopia and Cryptobridge are both synced up and working. I've personally tested a deposit and withdrawal on each with no issues.

If your local wallet is not syncing past block 86399, please delete your peers.dat and remove any addnodes from your Bulwark.conf. Then restart your wallet, and you should sync up with no issues.

If your masternode is stuck on block 86399, please run these commands in your SSH program of choice.

sed -i -e '/^addnode=/d' ~/.bulwark/bulwark.conf

    this will delete old nodes in your conf

rm -rf ~/.bulwark/peers.dat

    then restart with

bulwark-cli stop
 
bulwarkd -daemon


wait approximately 10 minutes for it to sync, to check your block status you can use this command

bulwark-cli getinfo


While masternode payments should be unaffected, It is advisable to not transfer coins around until futher notice. We are contacting exchanges currently, they will be restarting their wallets which hopefully won't take long.

Apologies for the for the uncertainty in the last few hours, we have been reviewing the situation. Expect a further update once we deem the network stable. Edit: Would like to thank the pool operators and community members who were helping out, cool doods


We've informed all exchanges and they should be doing this very quick fix at their earliest opportunity.

One of Bulwark's main goals is decentralization and it's important that we expand our network globally. Therefore, we have started an official WeChat (微信) group! Scan the QR code below with the WeChat App and join us!

We released v1.2.2 of the wallet not too long ago. We're also working on a brand new custom built explorer as well as an official mobile wallet.

We had the issue fixed within 2 days, tested for another few just to make absolutely sure everything was good to go again before we re-opened, and then had all exchanges, pools, and wallets up and running just fine again after that. Cryptopia continued having issues for another 2-3 weeks after the fact with issues that were out of our control.

I'd have to disagree with you there considering we're all still holding our dev shares of the premine.

My guess is it's just people upset that it's taking so long for them to update and get all the broken coins working again so they're looking for reasons outside of simply "they have too much on their plate" to justify why it's taking so long. People frequently land on "it's a scam!" because it's easy to say.

We just released a new wallet update. It's not mandatory though it has some bug fixes, patches, and minor UI improvements. All that's required is you download the bin file and start using the new .exe to launch your wallet.
