oc is correct it was fork from the start

First off, apologies for taking so long to address this morning's posts.  I spent a much needed day with my family who I'd neglected quite a bit while we prepared for this launch (unfortunately, the wife and kid aren't coders!).

Our nodes were not down at any point as far as we can tell.  Looking through the history of the thread, there were several people that had no problems connecting to them.  We'd set up a node in the US and one in Europe with DigitalOcean to try to have a stable network, it wasn't sufficient.  I can't say why you, ocminer, or poolmn could not connect to them - it was an unfortunate circumstance.

Looking through the BE it seems more like the fork happened at block 643.  That ~40 minute block and immediate drop in diff tells me that a lot of hash left our network preceding that block.

poolmn can you check some of your blockhashes against the block explorer to confirm this?

Once we get this sorted out we plan to migrate our nodes to vultr to further stabilize the network.  This fork business sucked, there's no two ways about it.  Regardless of the difficulties we've encountered thus far, we will see this project through as far as the community wants us to.  I'll be on for quite some time this evening working and will be available to address any questions or concerns from the community.  Thanks.

I was synced entire time with the nodes in post no problem. pool.mn was on its own chain shortly after launch.

Nodes worked for me from the first block and weren't down at anytime and I started mining earlier then pool.mn, so
it looks that for some reason pool.mn started mining from block zero on his own chain. Maybe dev's nodes didn't work
for some regions. I often have wallets with zero connections with new coins when pools are already up.

I've resynched to the new chain:

src/Pulsard getinfo
{
    "version" : "v2.0.0.0-g32a928e",
    "protocolversion" : 60015,
    "walletversion" : 60000,
    "balance" : 0.00000000,
    "newmint" : 0.00000000,
    "stake" : 0.00000000,
    "blocks" : 1413,
    "timeoffset" : 0,
    "moneysupply" : 538600.00000000,
    "connections" : 6,
    "proxy" : "",
    "difficulty" : {
        "proof-of-work" : 458609.17120864,
        "proof-of-stake" : 0.00390625
    },
    "testnet" : false,
    "keypoololdest" : 1436258768,
    "keypoolsize" : 101,
    "paytxfee" : 0.00100000,
    "mininput" : 0.00000000,
    "errors" : ""
}


And as expected, EVERY coin is gone since it was a totally different fork from the start.

Since the Dev's nodes where down, the node I connected, pool.mn's node, was the "masternode" and everything was mined upon this chain.. Then at some time the Dev's node came back online and instead of connecting to pool.mn, suprnova or the other pools, he started mining from block zero and the folks which connected there then mined everything new.. So there was no fork at Block 5xx ..

It was like two separate launches next to each other..

I still don't really get why not simply the pool's chain has been used as the dev was waiting for pools and there where three pools on the same chain with lots of hash on it...

hey thanks for the pool but whats going on with payments?   didn't receive any for past 2 hours... and you didn't respond to pm.. (okay i got response, waiting...)

We are investingating issues in the backend. Your shares and hashrate are safe and we will fix things ASAP.

Payouts disabled, you will not receive any coins to your offline wallet for the time being

thanks oc, idk why we didnt use the pools fork anyway...dev asked community, and everyone said go with pool's and yet he didnt  

going with the fork that had mined like 10 blocks @30TH vs the pools that had mined 500 more blocks at 900TH is beyond me and dont help the coin or community at all..

I will try again but earlier there was no connect possible

can't u and other pool operator just resync into new chain and coins mined up to block 577 are anyway accepted? split happened after block 577 so not all is lost right?

What can i do? Since the fork block, everything is lost and if the coins before the fork where also mined on a separate chain they are of course lost too, i am the last one who wouldn't help but all the dev did was "your fork is wrong, my fork is right" that's about it..  So unless he doesnt accept the pools chain as "the" chain, there is nothing i, or the other pools from the launch can Do

We are working on it.  It would be helpful to reach out to the pool operators yourselves as well.  Hopefully we can come to a resolution that is acceptable by everyone involved.

Ya this is wrong, ALL coins mined on pools are lost inc pre-fork unless pools can fix. Suprnova already said he isnt  

Maybe dev can convince them to fix?

Block explorer up.  Keep on mining, the hash rate is relatively low and there are plenty of coins still available during POW phase.

POS kicks in at block 2,500.  Any coins mined prior to block 2,340 will be mature for staking when that block hits!  

Block explorer and richlist set up at http://cryptobe.com/chain/Pulsar.

Thanks lahlor!  Definitely appreciate more involvement and you taking the time to set up a pool for Pulsar.

Hello all,

we are proud to be now a member of the Pulsar Community and created a second pool.

It is extremely confusing right now because everyone is on different forks.

We don't know who received what until block 600 (or beyond for that matter).  Once we get a BE up an running it will be more clear.  We did not instamine it - heck we relaunched the coin because solominers crushed all the early blocks the first time around.  We will continue moving forward with development of Pulsar and growing this community.  We have high hopes for the future of this coin and what it has to offer.

We need DEV to explain. Where did the 600 of the most front go? Or was he himself? If it is a solo apparent imbalance

everything mined up to block 577 i think was on right chain, after block 577 chain splitted.. so u guys only loosed mined coins after block 577.. correct me if i am wrong.
