September 21st Terracoin Update - Mandatory
MANDATORY UPGRADE OF THE TERRACOIN WALLET!There is a mandatory upgrade of the Terracoin wallet in preparation for the hard fork on block 1087500 which will enable masternodes and decentralized governance.
Everyone must upgrade their wallet by block 1087500, which with current block timing is falling between the 29th and the 30th of this month!
We really need to get the word out to as many people as possible. So please post and talk to everyone you know.
This is a mandatory update which means if you continue to use the old wallet you will be on the wrong block chain and you won't be able to send or receive TRC from that wallet.
We also need to make sure that all of the mining pools (or whoever is throwing that crazy hash at TRC) have updated their wallets, otherwise the coins they mine will be worthless.
Always back up your wallet.dat file! Always back up your wallet.dat file!
Download the new wallets here:
https://github.com/terracoin/terracoinWe will be using this repository going forward, but the old one has been updated as well.
The first time you run the binaries (or exes) it will create a new terracoincore folder. You can manually make it use your old terracoin app folder, but I recommend using the new folder. Stop (or close) the binaries and copy all of your files, except the peers.dat file over from the old folder into the new folder. That way you have an exact duplicate of your old data. (Except the peers.dat file, you will find .12.1.5 nodes faster without it, and you won't fully sync till you connect to a .12.1.5 masternode.)
Restart new binaries/exes.
It will say that it needs to reindex, so let it. Once it is done reindexing just sit back and wait for it to find .12.1.5 peers and masternodes. If it gives you an error saying network sync has failed, don't worry you just haven't gotten a .12.1.5 masternode yet. It will try again later.
If you are not sure how to do this please ask on one of the many forums. It is better to be safe then sorry!
I will be posting close to daily updates on which exchanges have updated their wallets and which haven't. If you see an exchange put the Terracoin wallet in maintenance that probably means they are upgrading it!
Hopefully we will have a Mac wallet out middle of next week.
In other news, the whale is now almost done with only ≈231,000 TRC left. He won't be around much longer. If you can get your TRC cheaper somewhere else then please do, but he has been consistantly selling to buy orders at .00003001 on Cryptopia. Once he is gone the price will most likely rise, so get it while you can!
Oh yeah, if you want you can set up your masternodes now, though you won't get rewards until the hard fork.
