Backing up your wallet.dat and private keys should certainly go without saying I'd hope.

You may have some bad peers or you're using bad addnodes manually in bulwark.conf. I would suggested deleting everything out of there except for wallet.dat and masternode.conf (if applicable) and then restarting the wallet and letting it sync from scratch.

Masternode payments have not increased since it went 50/50 (the last time they'll increase) a couple months ago.

Overall money supply increases will decrease every three months with masternodes effectively receiving the same percentage of what will be a lower and lower total block reward.

Total block reward will be decreasing again in approximately 22 days.

I can't comment on price speculation, though I would like to point out that Bulwark block rewards drop every 3 months approximately.

Thank you very much! We're doing our best and will continue doing so!

Thanks for the kind words! We're certainly going to continue working on the project as long as we can.

As of right now a single masternode brings in approximately 591.204 bwk per month.

Not entirely sure what that has to do with current discussion or Bulwark in particular. Could you elaborate?

We don't speculate on price unfortunately. We consider it very unprofessional to do so.

You are welcome to do your own research, join our Discord, and engage with us and our community and help make that speculation for yourself though!

Sure are. The time frame to enter is still open. The winner is going to be picked in 3 or 4 days.

Merchant adoption is something almost every cryptocurrency puts on their roadmap. For Bulwark, it is something that we expected of ourselves but never quite put a time frame on. Last week, we were browsing Reddit and found a post from an online vape shop named eMixologies. It told the story of a family that had smoked for most of their lives and, after the owner finally made the switch to vaping, convinced the rest of their family to give it a try. None of them have touched cigarettes since.

This story resonated with us considering the majority of the Bulwark team are also former smokers turned vapers. We immediately went to show our support for their accepting of cryptocurrency with a sizeable order. Once ordered, the owner and the Bulwark Team got to talking. After discussing the importance of crypto adoption, we offered to have him research the Bulwark project and community. After doing his research, he was so impressed that he happily included Bulwark (the only microcap coin on the list, we might add) as a payment option for all hardware and fantastic juices they have available.

If this is something you're interested in, we highly suggest you head on over to https://www.emixologies.com/, browse their selection, and select Bulwark as your payment option.

- Emixologies ships internationally for free on all orders above $160 CAD

We welcome the eMixologies team in supporting Bulwark and hope the Bulwark community can show them the support they deserve for being one of the first vape supply companies to widely accept cryptocurrency as payment!

It's always preferable to update to the latest version as soon as it is available. Not to mention, it takes about 30 seconds to actually update, so might as well be safe and do so.

Should you run into any issues at any point and need help troubleshooting, the first thing anybody will ask you is whether or not you're on the latest wallet version anyways.

There are other issues which include PIVX removing see-saw due to issues it was causing with zerocoin(which we plan on implementing shortly after PoS goes live) that we're looking into.

Instead of releasing multiple mandatory updates, we'd prefer to take a little bit more time, get everything sorted out, and release everything at once.

Once released, we'd like to have a minimum of 3-4 weeks to allow the majority of the network to update accordingly instead of rushing it in one week and hoping enough people are paying attention and updating.

Please keep in mind the Bulwark Team does not endorse or condone any masternode sharing or setup services due to the intrinsic risks they could potentially pose to our community.

Update 1.2.4

https://github.com/bulwark-crypto/Bulwark/releases/tag/1.2.4

Quick Changelog:
- The DNS Seeders have been fixed, it is no longer necessary to add nodes to your bulwark.conf file

- Hard coded seeds have been replaced with more reliable seeds

- Onion nodes have been included in the list of seeds for a future update


For Wallets: Download new 1.2.4 binaries. Shut down Bulwark wallet. Launch with the new qt.

For Masternode Operators: You can update your nodes with the following command in the VPS:

bash <( curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bulwark-crypto/Bulwark-MN-Install/master/update_node.sh )

Note: Performing the update on your masternode's VPS will not interrupt your payments or require you to restart your masternode in the wallet.

This update is not mandatory but will strengthen the network and help us proceed with further testing.

As far as the block reward schedule is concerned, that is not changing. The governance system (10% of block rewards being put into a super block to be awarded monthly based on masternode votes) will not be changing and will still not be activated until the end of year one as initially planned.

I'd suggest you do some reading on See-Saw from pivx.

Essentially, what happens is PoS and Masternode rewards will shift based on the percentage of supply locked in masternodes at any given time. It inherently benefits masternodes more than staking. The "sweet spot" where masternodes rewards = staking rewards (for a comparable amount of coins) is around 41% supply locked in masternodes. Any more than that, staking rewards are more profitable. Any less than that, masternodes are more profitable.

Haven't the slightest idea. CoinInfo states they're restarting the server though it's been about 10 hours now. I've got multiple messages/emails into them in an attempt to figure out what's going on.
