Yes, this is the syncing issue. Some wallets are fine. If I restart Apache, then all wallets will catch up, but some will continue syncing and others won't.

I've optimised fcgi (which is used by the wallets to get the block information you see in Network Monitor), but apache seems to be the cause of the stuttering. I could write a script that reloads Apache every few minutes but it's not really a solution (and each time it's restarted some wallets need to be restarted as well - I tried it already).

The personal issues I mentioned are now finally over so I'm back on the case properly from today. This one is a conundrum (so what's new eh?).

That's because the android wallet still don't working like it should be. Syncing issues.I think that is one of the reasons.

When it's full operational I think the volume shall increase.

Personally am i more curious what the further plans are to getting this coin spend on the west-african continent.
Hope the dev will give us some highlights of his plans.

Meanwhile people can buy great bags under 200 sat.
What's in my opinion terribly cheap.

I just noticed, something happened to the block explorer (http://altcoinguys.blockexperts.com/kobo). It has stopped on 147854. But the most recent block as of posting is 147904. Is the chain ok in Koboland?

Someone just scooped a load.

Maybe to avoid delisting?

UPDATE:

The new MAC and Windows desktop wallets plus beta mobile wallet are ready but I'm trying to get the syncing issue fully resolved before releasing them.

Mobile wallets sync and follow blockchain for up to 1 hour before dropping away and needing a restart. Every time a change is made I have to reinstall the apk, sync the blockchain, and test for a few hours so it's been very long and slow progress but most android wallets will be performing a lot better now.

I can see that interest has dropped off a bit but I'll continue resolving this issue. It's not in anyone's best interest to release a buggy wallet.

It's a long game. We're still in it.

My androidwallet is syncing better I see

Yes, I'm now preparing an update. Mobile wallet and new QR enabled desktop wallets. Next step is getting the mobile wallet onto Google Play (and possibly BlackBerry World). Once this is done, an update/release will be posted and the rollout to users begins.

Great, you're deliver good work

I see the low volume warning is back @ 'trex

This market is in danger of de-listing due to low trade volume and lack of user interest. It may be removed on May 15th unless the average daily trade volume for the last 7 days exceeds 0.2 BTC.

I bought 3,500 yesterday, but that's a long way short of what's needed.

I can't predict that. I'm just grateful we're still on the exchange.

UPDATE

I've now added the BlackBerryOS wallet to BlackBerry World and I'm waiting for it to be reviewed and published. I'll post details once it's online. There are new desktop wallets (v2.1.0.3) which I'll update links to. This is not a compulsory update. The update only changes the trust verification to 7 stars.

Once I've updated the links, and the BlackBerry wallet is online, we'll start to publicize the release of the mobile wallets, and availability on Play Store and BlackBerry World.

I've been looking at API's in getting the KOBO > FIAT price information (plus exchange rate functions) for the mobile wallets. There's been some progress.

You can now check the USD price on the http://kobocoin.com website. I've added a live ticker.
