September 7th Terracoin Update - Date
We have set a block, and date for the hard fork!
We will be hard forking on block 1,087,500 which is approximately September 29th. This hard fork block won't change unless the community finds something catastrophic in the code, which is highly unlikely.
This also means that the public testnet is ready for testing!
DO NOT TEST ON YOUR CURRENT TERRACOIN WALLET/WALLET FOLDERAlso, always back up your wallet.dat file before messing around. No joke. Back that file up!
The code is here:
https://github.com/terracoin/terracoin and we have Windows EXEs available on the releases tab. You can open issues directly on github, or contact me on one of the many forums, etc.
We are excited to have the whole community jump in and help out, and like I said in a previous weekly update, we need everyone to be as critical as possible. A week from now I would like to start contacting mining pools, exchanges, etc and have them update their wallets in preparation for the hard fork.
If you need help compiling the code on Linux, or setting up a masternode feel free to ask. I have a feeling we are going to get swamped with questions, so please be patient as we work our day jobs, and sleep. I will also be posting a rough draft of my masternode/compile setup guide, so please give any input on it that you can.
Once you get your wallet all ready to go (remember to run it with the -testnet option) then post your tTerracoin address (fake Terracoin) and I can send you 5000 tTRC so you can set up a masternode. I know some people want to test out two at a time, so once the first wave is done I can send you another 5,000 tTRC. If you are done testing then please send the tTRC back to the address below so other people can get a chance to test too. Return tTRC address: mjirbjPj1AaMViNDntVMCA8W12QGzyNUJy
The testnet does allow two masternodes for one IP. This will not work once the hard fork happens.
(I know this is a long weekly update, but keep reading. We are on a new exchange and we have a Discord server set up.)
Last week I opened up the discussion about the cost of a proposal (5 TRC to put in a proposal), but I didn't really like the fact that the 5 Terracoin was destroyed once a proposal was accepted for vote.
The team agreed with me, and the proposal cost is now sent into the block chain as a block reward which will be split between the miners and the masternodes.
We are not sure if any other coin has done this before so we need this part tested with extreme critical thought.
There is one problem with this idea. A masternode owner can look up when they are going to get paid next, and then spam proposals for 2.5 Terracoin (since the know they will get the 2.5 reward).
In an effort to combat this we have decided to raise the proposal cost to 10 TRC, which is currently about a $1.40 per proposal.
If you feel passionate about the cost of a proposal fee, or about proposal fees getting destroyed/not destroyed feel free to post on any of the forums/social media below.
Thanks to Jacob Kerr for coming to the rescue and turning the DASH wallet Terracoin green for us!
Also thanks to the whole community! Everyone has been amazing and understanding while we have been working on this!

https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Forum/Thread/815C-Cex is saying they are going to delist Terracoin. I guess we don't have the volume that is required. According to their front news page Terracoin needs .2 Bitcoin volume a day, but after talking with their support we need .4 Bitcoin a day. This means we need 12 bitcoins worth of volume a month, which really isn't that much.
We have until the 20th to up our volume, if you want to help keep us listed there then please trade on there. If you just have Terracoin sitting on there make sure to get it to another exchange or a local wallet before then.
I am going to keep trading on there until around the 19th to see if we make it. I will keep everyone up to date on the situation.
