I've pushed up code to fix the URL issue with API pulling the wallet balances and dropped a recent checkpoint in -- will be filling it in shortly once I get some code finished to scan the chain and select candidate checkpoints automatically.
New wallets coming soon!

Nice! Will the advanced coin control be working properly with the new release? I would be nice to split up a few blocks to try to get the chain running more evenly. I've been thinking about the cadence of the chain -- the original seeding "air-drop" we did was intended to create a smooth and regular block emit of about 5 minutes -- obviously not everyone is holding and staking. I'm not a fan of splitting for staking purposes since it tends to junk up the chain -- we already have a ton of little blocks that are sub 1 whole coin that I have been thinking should be disbarred from staking -- like a minimum 1 COIN threshold vs the NONCENTS. I think I'd like to do a study that examines the overall cadence for the last year now set up the seed nodes to bounce blocks between them again and turn them back on for staking in order to "fill in" the gaps. Having a predictable emit/confirm time is going to be more important for us once we release the mobile wallet -- details forthcoming, but the quick note is that I met with an IOS dev this am and we're going take a stab and recompiling the opensource "Doughwallet" reconfigured for the 2GIVE network. Thanks for your ongoing support! -dvd

Release Candidate 6.2 for both Mac and Windows has been released.
This point release includes a fix to the DNS for the API server that supplies the address balances for the GIFT* cards.
It also contains an updated checkpoint -- it is by no means complete but it will suffice now that the seed nodes are periodically being leveraged to checkpoint the chain.
The 7x branch is being started soon and will contain some updates to the staking (minimums), updated checkpointing, the first "Proof of Giving" blocks that split up a POS block into a combo POS plus multi-send to share addresses.
And other enhancements!

Sir, you can think of a project to activate 2Give masternodes, you can take 2Give the moon.

I don't believe we need masternodes I believe we need mobile wallets and kiosks that can accept and redeem GIFT*CARDS. When stakeholders bring other people into our economy we all benefit from the additional transactions that redistribute the coins through the 1% TXFEE and people who have coins on their desktop wallets that are open and running that are staking do more to help secure the network. The next planned phase is going to layer in the Proof of Giving (POG) blocks which will allow individuals the ability to automatically share their POS rewards with a list of recipients. This means that when you stake interest, that interest can be split up and sent to charities automatically. The goal is to make those sends essentially "free" because they are being folded into the POS block. After that we will be working on Digital Notary services to begin building out a model Web of Trust as envisioned in http://bit.ly/idcoins. The last goal for this year is to put VOTING onto the chain so that we can then let the stakeholders decide it's future. That should conclude the planned roadmap for Version 2.x It's Better 2GIVE :-) -dvd

The Windows RC 6.2 tested good, but am unable to test a Mac O.S. (should really get one to test with in the near future) & wonder if there would be a Linux compile for the top distributions of Linux (.deb & or .rpm {if}) possible in the near future. The Android x86 6.0-r3 was just released also, but haven't tested it yet & have only tested the 4.4-r4 ISO build. I don't have an IOS phone either to test with, but am sure that there will be many Apple testers in the forums or via social media to test it on that platform & or send GIVE or GIFT to ISO user then ask them if the app worked good.

Yes I know -- was looking at startcom but they seem to have fallen out of favor. All info is public so I may just disable until we finish rebranding unless you have another recommend for a cert provider? -dvd

I'm currently using letsencrypt SSL cert, it's free or you can get AlphaSSL wildcard ssl for free here: https://assl.loovit.net/cloudflare also offer free SSL cert.

Been a long time since i have done any of this but you have a new node here and it is running very well i might add... My son also did robotics in middle school and still wants to be a robotics engineer another reason why i am supporting this coin...
Bought some on bittrex and would love a donation from anyone if they want...

I've confirmed that the seed nodes are fully in sync and we did a manual checkpoint at:
{ "synccheckpoint" : "000003e1c27946ac57fde950bfde6fa890f8c132824770eff1e26724b940cbe1", "height" : 49208, "timestamp" : "2017-04-29 18:46:17 UTC" }
If you end up getting stuck synchronizing, you can always delete blk00001.dat, blkindex.dat and the file in database/ directory, then configure your wallet to only connect to our seed node to pull down the chain
listen=0 connect=192.169.7.65
I've made a note to go in and review the checkpointing code -- I don't think its reasonable to have it checkpointing every block that gets provisionally confirmed -- makes more sense to have it do so every 4,8,16 or 32 blocks just to make sure we allow for network consensus.
I've long thought that bootstrapping a wallet was inefficient one block at a time -- it makes more sense to do a RSYNC like whole file pull from trusted sources. I'll add that to the list for this summers enhancements.
Thanks for your continued support <3

Tried this solution this morning, after tried resync 2 times, and still got many unconfirmed transcations, and my wallet with 02GIVE and the bad checkpoint Is there a new version for windows than the old 2.0.0.RC6 ? Help

As posted to FB: I broke-out the old Macair w/OS X Ver 10.8.5 and after downloading the dmg and double-clicking to mount to the desktop then running the app it sync'd right up and applied all interest from the last time I ran the last client in Mar '17. I also sent and rx'vd coin between another wallet on Windows no problem and best of all refreshed an earlier gift balance from zero, regenerated the html and created a new gift. Haven't redeemed a Gift but will try that soon. Any testing ideas shoot and I'll try to accommodate, but it looks pretty solid. https://www.facebook.com/projectgivecoin/posts/808637782619326?comment_id=814124018737369&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R0%22%7D

The block chain tends to chug a bit sometimes - I'm not sure of exact solutions for this. Without advanced coin control working more optimally (last I checked it would not work) there is little recourse for moving stuck values on the block chain without potentially destroying your coin age. If it was my call I would try tweaking things a bit and perhaps lower the proof of stake time to mature and fix the advanced coin control. A month is a long time to wait for a stake and with a relatively low percentage I'm not sure if enough people are encouraged to keep staking wallets constantly on-line. On the plus side the block chain grows very slowly and doesn't take a lot of excess resources to maintain.

Quick update on our IOS progress:
1. We are able to build the wallet and have been testing extensively in the IOS Simulator! Including showing current USD value from a ticker. 2. We need to update the main codebase "Protocol" to allow for SPV (Short Payment Verification) -- this work will proceed at speed in order to get the mobile wallet able to sync with the chain. Two weeks ETA to get our stack upgraded to Litecoins latest (no support for SEGWIT -- we don't need it)
3. Smart SYNC checkpointing research continues -- we want to auto-sync on GOOD POW blocks where the transfer and TXFEE is significant to reward the network.
A new logo is coming based on our "Gift" icon wrapped with "Give - Get - Gift - Grant" on the top and our signature "It's Better 2GIVE" on the bottom.
A new user centric website is being built -- where stakeholders will be encouraged to "get confirmed" by linking their Give* address to their portal user account. More details when we get closer to releasing that.
