Nice to be able to check the number of connections in the wallet and see more people are participating in the network - can't wait to see how it grows after we start the giveaway with the Rainforest Foundation and start bringing in people outside of our little crypto community!
Remember, please update to the new wallet versions and check my tips above to have a smooth upgrade experience.

Two quick notes for Windows users:
If you get an error message (runaway exception) when you install the update to Bitseeds, make sure to UNinstall the old version first through the Control Panel or the Bitseeds folder/submenu in your Start Menu.
Secondly, if you try to open the application after installing it and get a different error like "a fatal error has occurred" or similar, then you need to delete everything except your wallet.dat file from the Bitseeds settings folder located in the /appdata/roaming folder
Easiest way to do this is to go to the search box in the Start Menu and type
%appdata%
and hit Enter. This will open the folder containing the one you're looking for. Look in this folder for the folder named Bitseeds, open that, and then put everything in the folder except your wallet.dat file into the Recycle Bin and then open the Bitseeds application again.
This seems to be an extra step that I see fairly often for QT wallets for a variety of coins, so you may be familiar with the procedure, but I just wanted to explain it here for those who don't know the process. I also just recorded a new version of the Windows install how-to video (part of the course we'll be releasing with the giveaway) to cover these steps for those who need it.
Hope that helps.

Mac Qt no work for me
Did you try both versions? Does it give you an error message? Go to About This Mac from the Apple Menu and tell me what version of OS X you're using, as well as the processor and memory so I can pass it along to our Mac wallet guy.
EDIT: I've been working with our Mac wallet guy testing various builds and sending him the crash reports so he could figure out why specific older model Macs were having an issue. Late last night/early this morning he figured it out and he's working on a fix which I'll post once it's available. My guess is it will be later today (Monday the 14th) but we'll see.
Tuesday Edit: Got a PM from him this morning and he's still working on it - he's basically recreating his build machine from scratch and it's a pretty complicated setup process. Once he's done he'll send me a test build to run on my older Mac Mini test machine to make sure it's working before we post updated links. Keep in mind the existing wallets should work for most people; we just want to make sure it works for everyone.

I've tested these on a few machines and everything seems to be working except on one older Mac. It seems to be a pretty specific issue and our Mac dev is working on it, so I may update the link if needed. Please download and use the new version and report any issues.
NOTE: Windows users please make sure to uninstall the old version first or you may get a runaway exception error. Just find Bitseeds in the Start Menu or remove it through the Control Panel before launching the new version.

OK everybody, our new dev has sent us the updated code and a Windows wallet. I'm doing some testing and I've passed the code along to MystPhysX to build a Mac wallet for us. Once everything looks good, I'll post download links here and we ask you to please update.
We will be reintroducing POW starting with block 8800; if you know anyone interested in running a pool, please let them know. I'll also look back at the earlier posts in this thread and contact the people who ran one before to see if they'd like to again. Don't think ispace.co.uk ran a bitseeds pool before, but I want to contact them about it too since they're pretty much my favorite pool and I'd love to see Bitseeds mined there.
In the mean time, here's a basic explorer you can check out (we're working on an Iquidus-based one with more advanced features).
http://explore.cryptolife.net/bitseeds
I'll most likely be starting a new ANN thread soon as well since we're locked out of the account that started this one.
Will be back soon with more.

Sorry for the slow response, guys!
No problem at all - I'm glad that things are still moving with XSEED, and it's good to hear that there is finally a new dev involved in the project.
I would really love to see this coin overcome the stain of Bryce Weiner's poisonous involvement and rise to become a successful crypto use case for a solid charitable cause. Best of luck, and looking forward to more updates!
Thanks!

Good to hear, not familiar with Hazard's work but seen his name around here quite a bit. I assume when the network and coin issues are sorted out we might start seeing marketing and promotion again?
Absolutely. If all goes well we want to pick up where we left off as soon as next week.
Approximate timeline:
Week 1 & 2 - daily release of one-three related videos on using Bitseeds (or any crypto wallet), forming a full course that can introduce complete newbies to cryptocurrency.
Each video will be paired with a giveaway to the first people to share the video and post their Bitseeds receive address; approximately 16 videos total. The videos will be promoted to my own newsletter of about 25,000 email subscribers as well as by the Rainforest Foundation to their newsletter, Facebook, Twitter, etc.
Week 3 - announce the winner of the drawing (each person submitting an address above gets an equal shot in the drawing)
Week 4 or 5 - very cool new and unique Bitseeds-based product that's been planned since before the April launch should be ready around this point (more details to come)
About week 8 - our merchant service provider should be ready to allow stores to accept Bitseeds as payment, saving them merchant service fees compared to credit cards AND providing the merchants with a charitable tax deduction. Great incentive for merchant adoption.
And there are a few other smaller things along the way. Should keep things busy right into the holidays.

Good news, curious to know who the new developer is, I'm sure you narrowed it down to someone good.
Any updates on the new dev?

Well. I guess somebody became a Bitseeds whale today.
3.57 BTC volume and over 275,000 bought, vaulting us up to the second page on Bittrex!

Is there a working blockchain explorer?
I would assume that large purchase was someone self buying unless we can find a transaction of ~275K moving from a bittrex address shortly after the buy up. The distribution tab doesn't seem to reflect it.
We'll have an explorer in a few days, so you'll be able to check if you're still curious.
It was obvious selfbuys. Someone has been cockblocking the market with a large sell at 1400 for weeks and weeks now. Thankfully though the sell is down to 90k, and he's moved the cockblock down to 1000 satoshi, so hopefully he'll be bought out soon and we can proceed upwards.
I know who the guy is with the 114,000 (I think it was originally) wallet that has been selling them off - he's about the only person who's been using the $XSEED tag on Twitter.
Don't think he was doing it to hold the market down; just not ready to wait for the new version, which is fair enough.
Looks like he has about 32K left... suspect it'll be gone soon. Though he may regret not waiting.
September 09, 2015, 01:20:42 AM
OK, guys. Sorry for the long overdue update.
Basically the dev we thought we had working for us vanished without a trace. One day he was talking to me and to Gabe saying he was starting on it and then we never heard from him again.
No idea what happened, so I won't bother speculating. I kind of had a very slightly iffy/flaky vibe about the guy from the start, which is why I think I decided not to give his name at the time.
BUT the good news is that we've just hired Hazard, who's been developing and supporting altcoins for at least a couple of years now. We're expecting to have the update with a new explorer and wallet available around the end of the week. He doesn't do Macs, but we've got two different devs who've offered to build OS X wallets for us - I'll let you know which one we end up going with in a few days.
Really happy to be moving forward again after the delay!
I'll be back with more updates around the end of the week including info on the much-delayed release of my new crypto course that will help teach the newcomers discovering crypto for the first time through the Rainforest Foundation's giveaway.

OK everyone. Thanks for being patient with the transition process. We have officially hired a new developer who is working on the project as we speak. We'll be giving a more detailed update soon, but suffice to say we're working on a brand new wallet made from scratch with a new codebase that has nothing left from the old dev.
However, the new dev is working on the update specifically with the plan of making it so there won't be any complex "swap the old coins for the new coins" process. So you should be able to just install the update once it's available and keep your existing wallet.dat files to make it as easy for everyone as we can.
We're also reintroducing POW mining and reverting to the original mining schedule to allow a slow and steady inflation with POW designed to continue for decades. Since we have the hood up, we're adding in a few new features Gabe and I've been discussing, including merged mining and laying the groundwork for more we'll talk about in future.
I'll be back sometime in the next week or so with some more info. Once the new wallet updates are available, we'll schedule the beginning of the big giveaway we've been talking about.
There are two more specific milestones in development that we'll be announcing after that, with more to come!
