Hi All,

Yes.  It's been too quiet and NET/the community deserves better.  That said, some of the core team has re-focused into other projects (happens in crypto), so in the coming few months we'll be looking to try and get some talent in to manage and continue to develop the coin. 

The wallet/core is currently being tested (not quite ready for release as of yet) but we'll keep you posted.

As for other updates that weren't posted here on BTC-talk:

1) NET declared an official pact/treaty with Mazacoin (the first ever blockchain pact between two cryptos involving a sovereign state recognized currency with another non-native currency).

2) NET has been in discussions with MZC/EXP to develop and build some complementary communities and work together on various projects.

3) We are exploring some major updates (after the next client release) for NET to try and leverage it's name/branding.


We had a wild day yesterday (47btc volume).

We're still here (we are always around in the skype chats.  Feel free to join us!

Apology gladly accepted! 

Thanks for the update; better late than never.

Really looking forward to whatever you guys have in store for NET; I still believe it has a great future.

Indeed.     We're testing mac/linux clients shortly...once that's finalized, we'll be prepping the exchanges and everyone for the new client!

[Mr. Net]

That Poloniex rumor really got it going!
Would be a surprise for everyone if they added it now.

It might be a good idea to try to get NET onto BitSquare as well, I'm thinking.

updating
suggested POS coins by TALK community
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=864994.msg13983872#msg13983872

NET is on the new list as it was on the old list.

We like your coin!

Would be nice to have a formal NET rep stop by the TALK ever so often to keep us up-to-date

But we will require a person of knowledge and standing to provide formal nomination and periodic communication in order to remain listed.

This one's been a long time coming, so it's all the more welcome for that! 

Ongoing development of NET should silence the fudders who have been claiming it's a scam.  Personally, I've always had faith in this project, albeit you have to have a lot of patience with the glacial pace of change.

Keep going NET team; we'll get there!! 

And I just realised NET will soon be 3 years old!

[CRYPTONAIRE]

In this new release please remember to update the 'exchanges' page!

[Bigjohnson124]

any stable block explorer out there (except cryptopia) ??

Sorry the block explorer is being worked on, https://prohashing.com/explorer/Netcoin/

Don't know how long we've been listed, or how well of an exchange NovaExchange is but we got 4 markets there..

Current Netcoin Wallet Version 2.3.1?

New version not realise yet?

[Bigjohnson124]

Current Netcoin Wallet Version 2.3.1?

New version not realise yet?

Correct, that is the current wallet. The new one is 2.4 and you can find it here https://github.com/netcoinfoundation/netcoin/releases/tag/2.4 Please note that you will have to re-download the blockchain as we now use leveldb.  Also note, this is not a mandatory update but is highly recommended.  What one should do for this update that is recommended, is to take the NetCoin appdata folder and rename it, so the client don't read it. Run the new 2.4 client and make sure it syncs up properly, then shut it down and replace the wallet.dat file in the newly created NetCoin folder within the appdata>roaming folder.  Then if everything is fine you can delete the 2.3.1 files. In this way, if anything were to not work out for someone you can simple revert back to the previous client 2.3.1  

Exchanges can choose to update or not. It's up to them. We are still in the works on more updating for Netcoin. Good things do take time. We had a much bigger update initially but it proved to need more testing.

As stated it is NON mandatory, but is recommended because of the removal of IRC. If we look back to cryptsy's claim of lucky7coin and the hack due to IRC.. Netcoin had to take action to remove this.

Everything should work fine but we will be here if anyone has any issues or questions.

Go NET!

WTG Leroy ! I'm sure this will inspire other noobs into becoming an accomplished shitcoin/ponzi pushin dev. :p



Do you mind if I call you Doug ?

For the people who have a Pi3 with raspbian we now have a Netcoin client for you

It only works on a Pi3 though with raspbian, I don't think it works on other OS like NOOBS.
