So about the bug (which is only in auxpow, so this doesn't effect you guys)

According to Wang Chung and I quote:
"There might be bug in getauxblock or other mining related code
 pblock returns in getauxblock sometimes point to invalid memory
 Repeated call getauxblock and watch bits/target it returned
 This sometimes crash the node
 bits sometimes can be zero
 I would recommend you make getauxblock returns bits instead because there was a few lines of code protected bits=0 target from returning.
 getauxblock shows blocks are being accepted but they are not."

I asked him for the debug file, but he claims there is nothing on it.
I tried the same & run a pool but my node didn't crash. But F2Pool Wang Chung claims his node does.

So that's what I currently try to solve.
Now a lot of people want to see Viacoin singal ASAP, so I will put my own "dev mentality as in I want to fix it myself" aside so
If anyone is able to fix it before I can, I will offer a bounty in BTC or VIA as thanks if F2Pool starts signaling Segwit for Viacoin (Whatever you want) out of my own pocket.

Currently I am trying to fix it myself too. (Feel free to PM me ONLY if you want to work on fixing it and get the bounty)

It only effects the beta wallet (pools shouldn't run it anyways).
All pools are running Core 0.10.11 which works fine now.

Reposting it here. Maybe A bounty of $1000 worth in BTC sounds fair if someone could solve it before me .
