Hi Tribesman,

  The wallet is stuck at block 1707968  .. When I try to send from the wallet.. a warning pops up:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Not Enough Available Coins: You're missing KOBO "_________   "   <------- amount to be sent here

 (KOBO "_____________________" waiting for confirmation  <-------- amount of balance here

 
Do you want to pay with all you have?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------



  No missing amount though because I checked the block explorer..

I have bought a lot of this coin few weeks ago, and even if the volume is low and the price steady, I have faith because you are doing a really good job and you are dedicated to your project.

buy some, it's cheap coins now!

Let's give them time to settle for the new progress of the project, and I have a very good feeling for this kobocoin community, very harmonious.

UPDATE

I've been in conversation with one of the true master coders of the industry - Peter Bushnell (Bushstar) - https://twitter.com/bushstar.

He is:

1. The creator/dev of Feathercoin
2. The person I worked with to generate the Kobocoin Genesis Block that kicked off kobo's existence (I bet most of you didn't know that!). Kobocoin has a solid heritage (great parents! )

We've discussed the following soft fork updates to Kobocoin:

CSV - https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0112.mediawiki (assisting Lightning Network)
CLTV - https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Timelock
Strict DER encoding - https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0066.mediawiki
SegWit - https://thenextweb.com/contributors/2017/09/13/fork-segwit-everything-need-know-bitcoin-scaling/

Kobocoin is based on Novacoin (port of Peercoin), and is on par with Bitcoin 0.7 codebase - (https://bitcoin.org/en/version-history).

The first step is to get to 0.13 codebase. That will be the single biggest step forward for Kobocoin since genesis. Once soft fork is activated we can then move to any newer Bitcoin release. The 0.16 release makes SegWit addresses default and adds support for Bech32 addresses (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bech32 - once support is widespread).

We will get there.

Peter is in the process of performing this difficult update for another project. Once this is done, tested and verified working with PoS, the work on Kobocoin will begin.

I'm also in the process of uplifting the backend server for the mobile wallets. The server is having a CPU, RAM and filesystem uplift performed this evening. The server is beginning to run like a dog for some reason (which is affecting mobile wallet syncing). Thanks for alerting me to this, opticoin!

On another note, I am considering retiring the main Schildbach wallet and pushing the Coinomi wallet as the main kobo mobile wallet. What do you think?

Why?

1. No need to wait for sync with blockchain as Coinomi uses an electrum backend. It's so much easier to use and maintain!
2. I'm considering using third parties to provide services for the blockchain. It costs less in the long run than building these services myself. I'm not in receipt of any ICO funds, premine etc. Everything is coming out of my pocket. The backend servers are a regular personal cost. Each new service will probably require a new server.

Also, the mobile wallet has been removed from Google Play until it complies with the new GDPR regs now being enforced. I'm working on this. It's really just a privacy statement but there's a lot to do to comply with Google's new rules.

New website is still on target for end June. It could be up sooner but there's no rush.

TT
 

Thanks!

Congrats dev team for making it this far. Wishing Kobocoin more years to come!

Oh I get some kobocoins yestoday

Apologies for the delay. There was an issue with a VPS. I am working on this.

anybody here having problem syncing their Android wallet?

Fully agree with you on that one. They often do all these delays on purpose I guess and they are very hard to reach if you have issues.

 I love it! I apriciate your works.
just baught a few more kobo

Removal of a coin from the exchange it I think already very bad news to people who hold coins and trust in the project and its prospects. But the fact that there is a difficulty with the translation of coins it in general strange at least and not correctly. It is necessary to have patience probably.

Don't waste your time with Yobit anymore...

There's been quite a few people who have contacted me very recently about this (mainly on twitter). I'm hoping they will all contact Yobit support. Maybe if everyone contacts them they will see that they need to resolve the issue.

It's very frustrating and unfortunately beyond my control. The only slight relief I can give everyone is that we are not the only people experiencing this with YoBit. I've seen MANY disgruntled posts and tweets about Yobit.

Check it - https://twitter.com/search?q=yobit%20withdraw&src=typd

They are well known for withdrawal issues.

I think a little over 1BTC worth of kobocoin altogether stuck in yobit

Is it known how many coins are stuck on Yobit?

Yeah!

UPDATE - COINOMI WALLET INTEGRATION

I am very happy to inform the KOBO community that we are now LIVE on the Coinomi mobile multiwallet!

Get it on Google Play for Android
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.coinomi.wallet

Get it on the App Store for iOS
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/coinomi-wallet/id1333588809

Screenshots

Fully integrated with exchange rate features:


Store not only KOBO but also all your popular cryptos. Please note that ShapeShift and Changelly are not supported for KOBO at this time.


No need for syncing the blockchain. Electurm servers keep the wallet up to date:


And the very big news is that users can SWEEP A PAPER WALLET. This opens the door for selling KOBO via QRCode. A real step forward!


I am also in negotiations with SatoWallet devs to get it added to their mobile multiwallet.

Progess continues. The Coinomi wallet will be heavily pushed on the updated website.
