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.

They have been posting about the needed upgrade for a week and its been in discussion for far longer on many coins, not just POT. This was a well known flaw to KGV. Would you rather somebody time warp attack the blockchain instead? This was an emergency security fix. It had to be done quickly.

Sorry your coins are probably lost, but you can attempt to extract the private key from your wallet.dat file. Import it into a fresh install of the new wallet and see what is there, but my guess is they are lost.

I haven't updated in months - does this mean my coins won't make it to an exchange?

As long as you aren't mining coins on the wrong chain, it should not be an issue. From my understanding the issues arise when people continue to use the wrong chain to mine and generate coins. The coins you already have are safe. Just update your wallet. After doing redundant back ups of your dat file and then install the new wallet. Should be good to go after that. Shouldn't have to restore or anything, the back ups are just in case.

great, thanks!

Also don't create any new transactions using the old wallet. Upgrade first. OTOH, if you withdraw coins from an exchange or pool, your old wallet won't get them, but the new one will once you synch with it.

I think you need to create new transactions. The old ones won't ever confirm because they never happened as far as the new blockchain knows. They won't cause harm, but they are ugly. You might just choose to keep ignoring them.

One solution is to create an entirely new wallet, export your private key from the old wallet and import it into the new one. (Or just transfer all of the coins to the new one if you don't mind loosing the history.) The new wallet won't ever know about the unconfirmed transactions. I've never done that, though. Also, there are some old Bitcoin tools at https://github.com/gavinandresen and there was a way of using those tools to delete unconfirmed transactions, but I suspect the odds of them working correctly on potcoin's wallet.dat file aren't high. At least one coin that tried something new had so much trouble that the ability to delete unconfirmed transactions was added to the wallet, but I can't remember what coin that was and doubt knowing would be helpful anyway.

If you find out something better than my ideas, I'd be curious to know what it was. Please let us know.

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.

p2pool seems to be on a different fork than the official blockchain explorer.

Do I need to update the networks.py file?

You do not need to update the p2pool code (networks.py). Just update your wallet daemon and hopefully all the other p2pool nodes will as well. Sent cryptovein a msg on irc.

Does anyone else get high bandwidth usage when the POT wallet is running not even syncing? My other wallets use only Kbps but the POT wallet uses 1.2 Mbps and the longer it stays open the more bandwidth it sucks.

A greek traveler and chronicler by the name of Herodotus visited the cannabis loving Dogon tribe during a year long cannabis festival they hold every fifty years. Explaining the celebration the Dogons pointed to the brightest star in the winter sky and said it was the "Two Dog Star". Cannabis is a greek word though its origins are african that translates to "Two Dog" and Two Dog Star was thought to be the home of the Two Dog Plant.
