1. I did
2. 1500 BTC for nothing delivered (till now) can't be the standard in Crypto
3. No. I (and everyone else buying the ICO) paid the developers to get it done. If  I pay someone and he doesn't do the job as he told he will, I want my money back. This is the reality my friend.

NOTE for windows.. I have uploaded a conf file with two nodes.. Also updated the zip file (wallet) with this conf.

If you are having issues.

Best way to do it is.
1. BACKUP wallet.dat..
2. Clean out data folder.. Leave wallet.dat there
3. Add the syscoin.conf file to the data folder.
4. Restart wallet and LEAVE it open..

Details are :
syscoin.conf : https://mega.co.nz/#!OFIRgRRI!tyhVLCaKeZL0nBzf0e2s_JODXUu4qwehXqEkr12eGBg
QT-Wallet.zip (new conf file) : https://mega.co.nz/#!LEwEhSqI!DjSyUEnNab8Xsj8mxTGTFfhbkOX3_3vNV76NHxGz8FE

Please dont use any other conf files at the moment (Or addnode lists you see around the place, these could be old nodes not updated).
Let me know how you get on.

8 months under development and cant even get a basic functioning wallet on launch.

that alone speaks for the competence and future of this dev team.

Technology is irrelevant here. You cannot fix reputation.

so much FUD here, the coin has enourmus potential, the devs looking legit and they made a hard-fork!

therefore DO NOT USE OTHER NODES THEN PROVIDED BY THE DEVS!

JUST FIX THE DAMN WALLET !

Transparency:

I have deleted all of the FUD, lies, misinformation, and spam from earlier pages. They were being posted by the same 5 users. This is a huge project, some people don't seems to understand that- if you think the syscoin commands (via help) are the "same as almost all coins"... you are incorrect. Please compare the command lists and you will clearly see this.

Regarding hiring devs/PMS (project managers) etc- yes we fully plan on doing this. We don't have any funding at the moment as we're waiting for things to really be "sound" on the network before we get ANY BITCOINS FROM THE PRESALE. We used about 15BTC on Mintpal to provide buy support, the remaining 234.5 were returned to Moolah this morning as soon as I was aware of the issues and we immediately got to work.

We spent about 18hrs fixing this issue today. I realize there are still wallet relaunch/crash issues but this does NOT lose your coins or data. You may need to resync at the worst; this is related to a bug with RESCAN command which we will fix. I have not said this was flawless at all. People seem to think we have 1500btc and "we could have done so much better with that much money".... we have no money. Moolah has it. They will hold it til this is all right. I didn't need to send back the BTC this AM- it was the right thing to do.

People did not pay attention to our announcements throughout the day about the fork so many were very slow to update their client leading to multiple forks. These are being resolved now if they aren't resolved already. The team has a list of items to work on. We have additional devs helping us out for FREE at the moment because they can see the code and understand the potential here soon as these bugs are ironed out.

Our next big push will be to upgrade the codebase to the 0.9.2 bitcoin codebase as it brings many improvements (in building and testing as well). We will also port any appropriate Litecoin/Namecoin fixes into Syscoin. Despite all the FUDing today and the issues, we are still here to make this a success- there are plenty of very coherent and salient posts from other users about what happens with new innovative product launches- even from megamillion dollar companies like Microsoft (remember windows vista?). We are 6 devs with zero funding at the moment aside from what our dayjobs provide. Soon as the client is stabilized to the satisfaction of the community (our work is not done) we'll have the BTC from Moolah and can work to hire a fulltime team to move this forward in parallel with us.

I've apologized multiple times for the issues yesterday and today. The only thing we can do as a team is to rapidly improve the wallet over this week- which we will do.

The network is working itself out, we will upgrade DNS seeds in the morning to provide better/faster syncing. 40% of the Syscoin codebase is entirely new code, if you didn't expect a few hiccups with a coin that has this many new features, you didn't read the many, many posts I made about the subject.

That being said the errors from today have been addressed and after the network calms down syncing should not be an issue. We will clean up the massive amount of FUD and misinformation being spread in the earlier pages of this thread in the morning, and we will also clean up the OP to be more clear.

Its is easy to say things from behind a keyboard, but we've been up almost around the clock for 4days straight getting this out the door+fixed. Not many other teams will do that. Have there been issues? Yes. Big issues? Yes. Did we respond quickly? Its been <24hrs and there is already a fix in place. As we have stated before, we are addressing problems as soon as we are aware- if you think that is unprofessional I'm sorry.

We DO NOT have ANY of the presale BTC at this point. 15BTC was used as buy support yesterday and the remainder was returned to Moolah this morning until the Syscoin network stabilizes. They will hold the fund until we are sure all kinks are worked out and things are sound. All the features we discussed are working and in the client, people are registering aliases, data, listing offers, and issuing certififcates. To say this is a "Fail" is a huge dramatization. A fumble, yes indeed; and a hard one. But show me a another coin you can do those 4 things with in a decentralized way. Show me another coin with delivered features analogous to Syscoin. There aren't any. Innovation is not easy. We decided to take that challenge.

We know there is more work to do, and we'll be here to do it. If a better team could have pulled this off... where are they? Where is there coin that offers what Syscoin offers that they made? The Syscoin team is as professional as it gets in crypto. As soon as we get some BTC we can hire fulltime C++ developers to really make progress on the coin. As previously stated we have ZERO btc right now from the presale its still in escrow and we have sold ZERO of our premine. We are here for the long haul; Actually the 250btc was sent back to Moolah for buy support, so yes, we are buying our own coins. Because we are here for the long term to make this a success, and we know hiccips will happen. We don't dump at the first sign of an issue with a coin that has more delivered innovation than anything else on the market today.

We got plenty more to do, and actually a lot more to release as soon as the network settled down, we'll share some more stuff we have ready to show.

tip for windows users.

1. download the zip version from the OP
2. unzip
3. inside the folder is a file called "syscoin.conf"
4. edit the file with notepad (delete everything and paste this)

5. copy that file to C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Syscoin
6. delete everything from C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Syscoin except wallet.dat and syscoin.conf
7. start the wallet
8. enjoy


this is what i did and works

annnnnnnndddd.......its gone!

this is sad to watch....bitcointalk.org is truely fucked and should be closed down, nothing but twats appearing

The coin forked.

Just a quick note: there are several PMs I need to catch up on, been focused on the crazy crazy day that was today. I will catch up on these in the morning, pay out bounties as needed, post the dev wallet addresses and we'll have block explorer up and running as well.

The entire team appreciates the support and patience the community has shown today. We have a lot more work to do; today was just the start!
