That's great news, Thanks!

UPDATE:

I've been fighting code on 3 angles. Unfortunately there's no help or support with any of these products so I just have to fight my way through them and get help where I can from other helpful devs (when they have the time):

1. Javascript Libraries for Boitsoko
This is still being worked on. I'm currently able to produce a private key with the javascript libs but still cannot produce an offline address as is required. I've spoken to another dev who's taking a look at it but no positive result yet, If you know anyone who is proficient with bitcore-lib and alts please send me a PM. I'll accept any and all help here

2. Electrum Server for UberPay
The server is up and running OK. UberPay are having an issue with X15 hashing. I've sent through details of how it may be possible to get over that but still no positive outcome yet.

3. New Kobocoinj for upgrading the Android wallet
I will be upgrading the Android wallet. I want to add the following features:

• Pin to Send
• Sweep Paper Wallet
• Splash screen on Entry
• Regional/Relevant Links Page

The new Kobocoinj does build correctly but is having issues connecting with the blockchain. This may also be something to do with the X15 protocol being used. Once this is resolved I can get started on getting Android Wallet V3 out.

I was hoping to have some good news on at least one of the issues to update you with this weekend but that's not the case. I'll keep on at them. I'm especially looking forward to getting past the Kobocoinj issue and getting the new Android wallet out with the added features. It will have a links list that any crypto enthusiast will appreciate. I won't be embedding features yet but it will definitely be a good step forward with the mobile tech.

It's a service that connects users and businesses that are adopting cryptocurrencies. A kind of social network for various cryptocurrencies. I've joined the service and had a look round. It's very impressive and I'm looking forward to being a part of it.

Glad to hear it

Yes, I posted this earlier on. The tipping was going very well. I'm looking for a replacement. Might have to build one myself but the problem is the online wallet. You have to be very vigilant.There are people out there who just want to hack it for the coins.

Hi Dev,
Are Kobocoin Tipbot and POS Pool on coinwallet.co still integrated?

Important Notice: CoinWallet.co is closing. Please withdraw all coins by May 1st 2016. click here for the announcement

All fine & dandy again now

Thanks muchly.

Lol.

I had just woken-up and that was the first email I saw.... I even knew Kobo had been de-listed already!

Too tired, I'm going back to bed....

de-list? I thought Kobo has been delisted already 6 mos ago...   Thank you for you hard work Tribesman!... I hope the coin will not lose momentum this time..  I can sense a strong buying support that is just waiting for the bitsoko development... we are at now the level of 0.00001 BTC, and selldowns are rare..

Bittrex have sent an email out saying they are going to de-list Kobo.

It might be worth sending them a quick email outlining recent developments and future plans to get them to hold-off from this.

I've already sent one, but more is better.

I've got in touch with a developer to get the js lib sorted. He might be able to speed up the process. Doing everything on my own (while trying to sort out the issues in my day job at the same time) has cause a massive delay. I'm hoping he can turn it around in a few days so we can get the Bitsoko integration finalized and get onto the next steps.

Sorry for the lack of development updates. My day job has taken precedence. An installation has gone a bit awry and fixing it is taking up my time at the moment.

Once that's resolved (should be later today) the next thing is to get the js libraries for Bitsoko resolved once and for all and get some addresses sorted out then we're good to go. That's the top priority now. It's been a week of troubleshooting but I need to get my head down and get Bitsoko issues resolved.

After that it's finishing off the UberPay integration. The Electrum server is built and UberPay has been testing it out. It's just finding the time to pull it all together.

Try this:

1. Backup your wallet.dat to a safe location. Do not proceed until you have done this and also read the steps below.
2. Delete your current installation and delete the contents of the appdata\Roaming\Kobocoin directory
3. Download and install new wallet (See OP)
4. Download a blockchain snapshot from the link here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.14191606
5. Unpack the contents of the snapshot and copy into your appdata\Roaming\Kobocoin directory
6. Start the wallet and make sure it starts syncing. Once you're sure it's syncing, stop it.
7. Goto appdata\Roaming\Kobocoin directory and delete the existing wallet.dat. Then copy your backed up wallet.dat into the appdata\Roaming\Kobocoin directory.
8. Restart your wallet.

Any issues, let me know.

I don't think there's an easy fix for this. It will have to be a reinstall.

Hi Tribesman,

I've hit a little problem.

Since my PC blue-screened (I discovered it was caused by Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, now binned) I can't start my Kobo wallet. I just get this...



What should I do to fix this?

(My other 2 staking wallets re-started with no problems)

Amusing spin on the name

Kobocoin or Bokocoin ?

Sent you a PM

How long have you guys been staking, and are your coins all in one large address or have you spread them out? The most efficient way for 350K would be addresses of 25K or 50K chunks (you'll then have to wait for maturity), some would even say make it smaller if you have the time. I've not had any issues with staking but my coins haven't moved for months and I don't always stake them, so when I unlock my wallet it stakes OK.

I want to start looking at the wallets at some point after the current projects are completed. This might include making changes under the cover.

I took a look at Xapo. It reminds me of Coinsbank (https://coinsbank.com/). The CEO made a presentation at Coinfest. At the moment I'm steering clear of web purchases of kobo simply because of regulation. Legislation is not clear and the last thing I need right now is for my bank accounts to be frozen. Once there's clarity on that I'll be happy to move forward with it. I've been asked a few times where to buy kobo. At the moment I can only suggest the 2 exchanges we're on. Here in the UK, it was only last week that the very first crypto business was given an e-money livense which allows them to officially open a bank account (see here, check paragraph about FCA - http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/apr/06/barclays-supports-uk-launch-of-circle-money-transfer-app).

Also at Coinfest this weekend I was lucky enough to see the eMunie project and wallet. It's very impressive. It has the potential to make decentralized personal banking a reality. It's extremely user friendly in appearance and function. I had a quick word with the dev.

It gave me some good ideas of what to do with desktop wallet to make it a lot more user friendly. The code is all there. It's just to give it a different, more recognisable appearance and make it more suitable for personal finances.

For example, we already have encrypted address-to-address messaging but it could be updated to be more aesthetic and allow you to save a profile pic so you'd then have encrypted personal messaging with an address book within the wallet.

Many ideas but development of a new wallet is still some time away. There's a few things that need to be completed before that can be looked at.
