UPDATES

Just wanted to post a few updates that have been on Discord but may not have made it here yet.

First, the update to v1.1.0 is making great progress. Exchanges have upgraded, the majority of masternodes have updated and based on peer connections, it looks like a majority have upgraded as well. If you haven't updated, just a reminder to update prior to block 29,000. At block 29,000, block rewards switch to 11 Rapture for masternodes and 3 Rapture for proof-of-work. For the history on this update, feel free to browse the posts here or drop into Discord

On the exchange front, we're still getting a small handful of users reporting issues with stocks.exchange transfers. It seems like a general stocks.exchange issue and they haven't given us any information on it. Best we can do right now is lean more on southXchange and CryptoBridge, both have been great for support and reliability. We've had a few requests to look into Graviex and we've reached out for more information. We've also started submitting to a few larger exchanges including Poloniex. It may be too early on to get their attention, but we feel like we have a unique approach and are innovating in the areas that we're focused on, so we feel like there's a chance they'll see something that appeals to them.

In line with this, we're also making good progress on the white paper and it's a top priority. We feel that the white paper will be an important tool in effectively communicating the goals of Rapture, so we're taking time to make sure it's a strong as possible. There are some exchanges and platforms that put a lot of weight into the whitepaper, so we want it to be clear and informative.

We've been making some updates to the design of the website as well, some based on feedback and some based on wanting clearer messaging. There will be bigger changes ahead, but there are a few updates that we can turn around pretty quick that should help.

On the tech side, the main focus is on wallets and mobile apps. Mobile apps are an important part of Rapture and we're prioritizing their development, more on that soon! We're almost ready to roll out paper wallet support and we'll be updating the qt wallets to make importing paper wallets keys more user-friendly. Visual updates will be coming to the wallet as well, they'll tie into the bigger branding updates on the website.

We're working on an updated version of the block explorer and it's available for testing here: http://explorer2.our-rapture.com/

It's on a faster server, so it should be a bit more responsive than the regular explorer. But I'm also adding and breaking and fixing, so don't be surprised if you see a page or two that throw an error. Still, please report back any errors and let me know what you like, don't like, and would like to see. One focus will be to give CharityNodes their own page so that there is easily accessible information on those nodes and the rewards they're earning.

If anyone missed it, community member (and now moderator!) @secsi published two articles on steemit:

Rapture: Masternode Rewards scheduled to increase to 79%! 30~ day ROI!

3 Coins to watch in 2018 *Strong developers, roadmaps, communities and more inside!*

Becca recently launched a subreddit for Rapture and we're  hoping that can be a useful place to consolidate information and host threaded discussions as well:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Our_Rapture/

As we build, we're starting to push further out into social media and are particularly interested in getting exposure on steemit and medium, feel free to message Becca if you can help! Once we move past block 29,000 this week, we'll be looking to do some active marketing as well to bring more attention to Rapture!

Hi! We applied to CMC several weeks back. It's hard to tell where we are in their queue and they don't really provide updates or visibility from what we can tell. Most of their recent listings are tokens with multi-million dollar ICO's, so that's probably an indication that they're giving priority to those types of projects at the moment. CMC does open the door to a few other sites that we'd like to be on that require CMC listings, so we're hoping the add us soon!

Hi Dev,

What is the current status of adding Rapture on coinmarketcap?

CMC listing is very important for the growth of Rapture. After addition, you can add upcoming roadmap events into coinmarketcal.com for a much bigger audience to see that Rapture is a active, stable coin to invest in!

Woo Hoo!!!

Hello! I've just been clued in as to the specifics of the signature campaign you were likely referring to - I will put this on my to-do list and post it here when it's ready!

Thanks!

Becca

Hello!

Do you mean promo campaigns? We list all of our campaigns here: 
https://our-rapture.com/spread-the-word/

The best one to support our project with (and has the biggest reward) is the Charity Recruiting Campaign:
https://our-rapture.com/charity-recruiting/


Thanks!!!

Do you have signature campaigns for Rapture supporters, dev? If available, please give me link to join. I am interested in Rapture project, which is likely potential project amongs lots of scam masternode project released in the last month.

Looking forward to get past Block 29001, hopefully it will be good for the price and also bring more attention to the project and attract new investors.

It should happen in approximately 3 to 4 days from now!

http://explorer.our-rapture.com

Yes - masternode rewards will be closer to 80%!

How many days till the one Masternode rewards be increased, Dev? Can I set up my second Masternode on the same computer? Thank you for your helps.

I see Masternode rewards are increasing after block 29000...  is it going higher than 50% of the mining reward? 

Airdrop alert! Runs for 48 hours!

v1.1.0 Upgrade Guide


As mentioned, the upgrade to v1.1.0 is mandatory and is required beyond block height 29,000.
Updating is very straightforward and we've updated the Masternode Setup Guide to include step-by-step instructions for updating your VPS. Here's a direct link to that section:
https://goo.gl/KDbM3R


We've seen a large number of masternodes update so far and many peers connections are showing v1.1.0 as well. Southxchange and stocks.exchange have confirmed that they've updated, and CryptoBridge has confirmed that they will update. Our official community pool has updated and we've notified other pool and listing site operators. Once we've moved past block 29,000, we'll check with listing sites/calculators and make sure they're showing the right proof-of-work/masternode reward allocation. Some source this automatically from the code, others will likely need to adjust.

If you need any further support, please drop into our DISCORD channel. We've added @secsi as a moderator, much thanks to him for his support and everything he has done for Rapture over the past few weeks.

We're generally available on Discord for 12+ hours a day, but it's great to have the community helping out as well, thanks!

Just a reminder!  Wallet update! And at block 29,001 - masternode rewards INCREASE! Get the wallet now! (note: update is MANDATORY for all current wallet holders!) http://our-rapture.com/wallet

Mandatory update v1.1.0 available

PLEASE update your wallet binaries prior to block 29,000 (approximately Tuesday, Feb 27)

The Rapture wallet has been updated to version 1.1.0 and includes a change to the proof-of-work/masternode ratio starting at block 29,000:

For masternode operators, we'll update the guide shortly with instructions, but if you want to update asap then you can run these commands on your vps:


...then from your local wallet, click Start alias. If it start's successfully then check the status on the vps:


....if that says Masternode successfully started then you can remove the previous rapturecore.....


If you receive a message about an incorrect protocol version, that message will clear within a few minutes and the node should switch over to PRE_ENABLED, followed by ENABLED within around 20 minutes.

If you run into any issues (or just want to say hi!), drop into our Discord server: https://discord.gg/NMgQEn8

Welcome, all!

You make a good point - there is always a balance to maintain. We've discussed the possibility of a future move to PoS, and a lot of people in the community support this idea. So we'll see how things go after our upcoming reward redistribution, and decide from there!

I can only speak for our own project and say that there's no connection between our team and any of these other projects, Rapture is our team's sole focus and we wouldn't even have the bandwidth to attend to another project! It's not uncommon for projects to have extensive similarities in code....many projects fork from Dash because their feature set is mature and is an excellent starting point, so there are going to be a lot of similarities in the code base, particularly early on. Dash, like many projects, is forked from Bitcoin core, so there are going to be even broader similarities there. PivX, which is considered a strong project, forked from Dash a few years back and there was a time that they would have been considered similar to other projects....but they've built from that point forward and evolved into a very separate project with its own unique features.

I believe one of the main factors worth considering when doing your research is what the team is putting into the project in terms of commitment (hopefully evident by how they engage with the community), what their vision and roadmap is for their project and whether or not they have a unique or real-world application (in our case a few of our early differences are charity nodes and a strong charity focus overall, physical gifting cards, and a few other strong unique ideas in the works). Thanks!
