Ok everyone, it's time to rock and roll.
the new hard node is - addnode=154.16.7.192:4504
please put that into your powercoin.conf file and start your wallet.
the wallet should sync to block 421931 but you won't see the little check mark until people with coins start to stake them.
if anyone has coins, please stake them for a few days so that the chain will start to move and i can get some coins into my wallet to stake.
once that happens i can stake them continuously and the chain should keep moving from there, hopefully.
i will be speaking to support at coinexchange.io today about re-activating the coin there for trade as well.
cheers
