I deleted the rest of the quote only because I don't want to start a quotewall for pages. Sorry to hear about your situation but really cool to see people are seeing the bigger picture of what this coin could do and help create. We should start some more reddit campaigns to raise funds especially with 4/20 around the block it would be a awesome thing to get going.

ps. I kept that part of the quote because

my wallet was resync. from begining and it stuck somewhere near end, i dont have anything on it, should i get new one or try to fix this one, and how?
Seems most ppl had same problem, just let it run for many hours and it will catch up, or that worked for others who had similar problem.


i have reinstalled it and everything is fine now

Mac wallet wont sync? and about 500pot was sent? can anyone help me out? appreciate it. saw earlier posts about copy pasting some nodes but not sure how?

On the a PC you open a txt file paste the nodes and save the files as potcoin.cfg in the user/appdata/roaming/potcoin.


redownloaded and it works but got a question mark next to a transaction, how and where do i run the salvagewallet command? really appreciate the help

If your on Windows create a shortcut of potcoin-qt.exe then open up the Properties window of the newly created shortcut. Append a space and -salvagewallet after potcoin-qt.exe. Click OK on the shortcut property window then double click the shortcut to launch.

Delete the shortcut afterword's as you only need to do it once.

Alternatively you can launch from the command line using: potcoin-qt.exe -salvagewallet

hm im on mac so this wont work! tried running that command but it doesnt work Sad

Well in that case I would try running it from Terminal. Make sure potcoin is not running then navigate to the location of potcoind (notice the "d") and at the prompt type:
potcoind -salvagewallet

You may have to hit enter to get back to the command prompt after it launches. Check the Activity monitor to see if its running. Give it a few minutes (10) and then type:
potcoind getinfo

If it returns some data showing what block it's on and other information then you can stop it using:
potcoind stop

Make sure it stops running (give it a few minutes) and then launch the client.

Please backup your wallet.dat file first! I have not tried any of this on the mac.

redownloaded and it works but got a question mark next to a transaction, how and where do i run the salvagewallet command? really appreciate the help

First, make sure you backup your wallet.dat file.

There are two ways of doing it, I think. One is to select help in the menu, then debug window, then the console tab, then type salvagewallet (without the dash) at the bottom. (I'm assuming the Mac wallet looks like the PC one.) The other way is to figure out how your Mac starts the wallet and add -salvagewallet (with the dash) to whatever command it uses. Then start the wallet. Only start it once that way, though.

I don't have a Mac, nor do I have an unverified transaction in my POT wallet, so I can't test it. I do have one in a different coin's wallet, but it doesn't even recognize "salvagewallet".

The price is going up nicely, if people want to get into this coin they should buy, buy , BUY! now before it goes up even more, this isnt a pointless pump and dump altcoin with a small community of get rich quick wannabes , this is a powerful ideal with a community of millions, a passionate, positive, forward thinking community that has waited years for the landscape of legal cannabis to change while tirelessly pushing forward for what is right and just.

The legal cannabis industry needs a crypto currency that it can trust in for numerous reasons, people have lost faith in banks and goverments going belly up while the bankers collect their bonuses off the broken backs of  the everyday hard working people who have lost their jobs, homes and sanity trying to make a broken system work. People have had enough of the rip off banking systems desperately hiding behind the smoke and mirrors they call capitalism, people have had enough of large global companies avoiding billions in tax while hard working good people worry about the price of food, fuel and looking after their families.

While the bankers get rich on bad karma, gambling on companies  going bust and countries going to war, the crypto currency community shines a torch of hope into the dark world of financial practice.
While the banks can take over a week to clear a cheque, while gaining interest we are sending various currencies round the world in seconds.
While the banks are loosing/selling  our personal data we are remaining anonymous and protecting ourselves from the murky practices of the financial institutions.

"The HSBC banking group has admitted losing a computer disc with the details of 370,000 customers." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/7334249.stm
"Barclays customer data 'stolen and sold', newspaper says" http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-26106138

While alcohol abuse is said to cost the UK goverment £6 billion a year we just want to chill out and smoke our cannabis and have an interesting converation rather than get drunk fall over,get into a fight and wake up broke were not stupid

Now on a personal level, im going through 24 weeks of chemotherapy treatment im told i have a 50/50 chance of success and if im unsuccessful i go through the 24 weeks for a 2nd time.
I have many side effects too many to list but ill list the ones cannabis helps me with:

Very poor appetite, especially bad in the morning as i get like a morning sickness and have a bad stomach, im prescribed protein/vitamin/supplement milkshakes, but i find if i smoke certain strains it gives me the munchies and helps me eat a decent breakfast which i enjoy, it also helps with the nausea the Dr's cant prescribe me anything that does this and even if they could it would be a chemical not natural.

I struggle to sleep the DR's want to prescribe me addictive chemicals with many side effects while i find homemade hash/honey oil does the job much better with no side effects.

I struggle with concentration (Brain Fog) "The Connection Between Brain Fog and Liver Health" http://www.liversupport.com/wordpress/2012/06/the-connection-between-brain-fog-and-liver-health/
Cannabis is amazing for this it helps me so much when it comes to concentration.

I struggle with anxiety which is very common with liver disease.
I struggle with low mood which is also very common with liver disease, cannabis helps both of these side effects immensely.

So long story short cannabis makes a huge impact on my quality of life, but im forced into to being a criminal when I use cannabis for my symptoms, im unable to work so its not easy to obtain cannabis and i feel like im stuck in between a rock and a hard place, take what little and often addictive chemicals that i can be prescribed or break the law and use natural remedies like cannabis with no detrimental side effects.

This is why POTCOIN is so important to me as there is talk of funding going into research, and even though it isnt legal in the UK the fact that i could buy seeds,vapourisers etc etc and not have to worry about credit card details puts my mind at ease as i already have enough to worry about.

So get behind Potcoin lets change the future, spread the word, spread the love and last but not least,

ROLL UP, THEN SCROLL UP, GIVE THIS THREAD A READ AND HOPEFULLY IT WILL PLANT A SEED, AS THE WORLD IS A BETTER PLACE WITH A LITTLE BIT OF WEED!

However, this was an issue with KGW, which a lot of coins have implemented...as there aren't many Kgw coins out there that aren't effected by the timewarp.  
Is this what the timewarp vulnerability looks like?

Use the salvagewallet command via console if you have stuck coins.

Thanks broken_pixel. That worked.

Great news man, glad it worked.

Disappointed in the lack of notice regarding the fork to fix KGW. These things need to be done at least two weeks out if not longer.

Not knowing about the fork I sent over 1000 POT and it never got there...updated my wallet and issued a -resync only to see the two sent transactions sitting there with a ? next to them (they were confirmed on the wrong blockchain). Any idea how to get them back?

I understand the desire to patch as quickly as possible but you need to allow enough time for the pools and other operators supporting this coin to have sufficient notice.

Your post is confusing. Lack of notice? Besides the giant red text and them blasting about how they are fixing the exploit on every avenue of social media they are involved with what type of notice would you like? A personal telegram  Cheesy? All the other scrypt coins that use kgw were having a melt down too, so if you didn't read about it through potcoin then perhaps you could have read about it while doing research on another coin. Perhaps you just don't read anything about the community, although a sr memeber with over 300 posts leads me to believe you are just upset that you lost coins and are striking out.

To answer your question, i don't think you can get them back. Live and learn and be more diligent in the future.

I don't think it's reasonable to give a two day notice of a fork. It does not instill confidence in a coin. 1000 POT is nothing to me so I am not upset. Forks should only be done as a last resort and under extreme situations with plenty of notice. I think the KGW issue is a valid reason to fork but a two day notice in unacceptable and will lead to people loosing faith in a coin.

You can not expect people to watch message board threads. If there was any actual use by consumers they would never trust this coin again under this situation.

If this issue was unique only to Potcoin then i would not disagree with you. However, this was an issue with KGW, which a lot of coins have implemented. I would say confidence would be lost had they done nothing.

What proof do you have that the devs did not act as fast as they could when it came to implementing a fix as your argument on timelines only holds ground if they had knowledge of the exploit months ago. You can't give warning about something unless you know about it. If the community as a whole only found out about the exploit a week or so ago, how much time do you think is reasonable for advanced notice?

I don't eat, breath, and shit crypto but i do try to keep current about it. I only found out about the exploit after Potcoin started talking about a fix being worked on. That is the funny thing with most forks, unless it is to change or implement something, they really don't know it is going to fork. In this case they applied a patch to something and that caused a fork, they gave as much notice as they could. If their crystal balls were working then perhaps they could have given the two weeks notice you desire.

What other coins out there do you have to put faith in? There are a ton of coins out there and there are a few with good communities. Potcoin is the only coin really poised to solve some issues at the current moment. The cash issues could always be altered if the feds change the laws but that is a waiting game and something sorta needs to be done in the mean time. The only other promising thing going on in the coin world atm, through my dismal outlook, is the scrypt asics. I hope they do to ltc what asics did for btc.

Forks done on whim surely erode trust. I don't think this fork hurt the coins public opinion as there aren't many Kgw coins out there that aren't effected by the timewarp.

Edit: I have started "watching" the github (email notification) for any source code changes. I also think not incrementing the version number is a mistake.

If any of you have coins stuck on cryptorush you can sell them for doge and get them out that way
