[ANN][GRE] GreenCoin - A Blockchain-Based Social Carbon Ecosystem

[biodieselchris]

Check out the professionally done movie we made introducing GreenCoin on our Facebook page:

https://www.facebook.com/greencoinfoundation/

We will promote this a bit post launch and begin to add instructional content to the website. Feel free to share with any friends that have solar so we can start to build on the renewable producer side.

Link to new Greencoin v2 client on github?

[mrbodz]

Ready for launch!

Github: http://github.com/greencoin-dev/greencoinv2
Windows client: https://www.dropbox.com/s/94bfex1or76ip19/greencoin.zip?dl=0

POW mining is enabled with rewards set to 0
POS  mining will start 24 hours after the swap over

Swap over will start block 800,000 on GRE v1.

To perform the swap over, click help, debug window and then console on the V1 QT client

Do this for all of your greencoin v1 addresses:
run the command:  dumpprivkey <Your GRE V1 Address Here (Without the brackets)>
You should get a response such as: RhGsLCi4ckTfv9zMtq1WFhDukw2Z1HBUebH8EzoyeFXLh5pCTqqJ

Note all of these down

On the GREv2 client click help, debug window and then console
for each of the private keys from the V1 wallet run the command:
importprivkey <private key>
e.g. importprivkey RhGsLCi4ckTfv9zMtq1WFhDukw2Z1HBUebH8EzoyeFXLh5pCTqqJ

The wallet will appear to hang for a few minutes as it re-scans the blockchain.

Soon after you should see your coins enter your V2 wallet and 24 hours after begin to stake

Producers: tonight will be the last full payout using the old GreenCoin blockchain.  I will continue to pay it for a few days or weeks past block #800,000 in the event the new coin fails, needs to be adjusted, or other such issues, though this is not anticipated to be necessary. Assuming the new coin sticks the old coin payouts will only be transferrable to the new coin up to block 800,000.

Upon successful implementation of the new PoS blockchain the old blockchain will no longer be used by the Foundation or supported in any way. Of course, it will most likely continue to exist, given the persistence of blockchain technology being what it is.

The payout run on Jan 1 will be done using the new blockchain and include your carbon data in the comments of the block (if I can get this to work). Therefore I will need users to download a GreenCoinV2 wallet and generate a new address to put into your account at grcoin.com.

Wallet must be unlocked before you can dump the keys, otherwise you will get the error Private key for address X is not known (code -4):

walletpassphrase <passphrase> 999999

Waiting for block 800,000...

There was a need to recompile the wallet. It may be a bit later than block 800,000 but will still include tx's up to this block.

I say, very little information on what is happening for such a big change!

Is there a new wallet out now, or will it be recompiled? Should the new wallet work or not? Are the OP-nodes valid for v2? Is the new blockchain moving? Should it, or will it start after v1 block 800,000+? Right now it is stuck at block 120.

Questions, questions, ...

Disregard Ahmed's first wallet release. It did not have the proper amount of premined coins. It will need to be recompiled. Per the discussion in IRC, he is waiting for block #800,000 to take a snapshot of the old blockchain and recompiling a new wallet for release.

For Producers: I just realized last night's (12/31/2015) coin payout failed (this is what I get for not double checking -- but it was already late!!  ). I'm paying it now but the tx's will not appear on the blockchain until after block 800,000. Therefore it might make sense to keep old GRE up to block 801,000 or something like that so these coins are included in the snapshot of the blockchain for GREv2. Otherwise, for the first time in 18 months of operation, there will be a missed daily payout. Since we still don't already have a lot of users I'm sure this will be OK, but If ahmed has not performed the blockchain snapshot in the update we can move the block # downstream a little and it won't change anything else.

all payouts for 12/31/15 occurred by block 800,088 so I'll see if we can get the new coin blockchain snapshot to include up to this block....

Re-scanning the blockchain will release the new client and send the coins once finished

watching and waiting for thread front page update to new wallet....

Is there any updated client? Mines still at block 120... 3 connections...

the link to the previous wallet is deprecated. It is being recompiled now. The inital ~800,000 blocks of addy's from the old chain are also being pulled into block 0 of the new chain. You can watch this in real time here:
http://greencoin.crypto-expert.com/

We are up to block 175,000 or so. This process will take awhile.

[biodieselchris]

Producers: Given the time it is taking to re-scan the blockchain the coin release will be delayed an unknown amount of time (but hopefully less than one full day for sure).

I just ran the payout for Jan. 1 per the usual way on the old GreenCoin chain. I'll continue to do this until the blockchain gets switched over so there is nothing special to do. Just keep chugging along as usual. Once the new chain is up and running I'll need you to put in the new wallet addresses so you can capture the payouts on the new chain of course.

Daymn. Id make you a new ann for some btc . Will watch this anyhow.

I advertised a bounty for a re-launched GRE ANN:

Let me know your thoughts?

are you in contact with cryptopia to update also?

swap process? sorry if posted already but switching to POS is a pain in the #$#
