First day back at my day job from my "vacation" and so I am a little behind on messages.

We made some good progress on the issue today (I promise I wasn't working on it from my day job. Really.) and I think we are narrowing everything down. We are testing the cause/cure on the testnet as I type.

I posted about a trick to get rewards with voting on the bad watchdogs, so you can always do that while we work on this. Usually if you can get them up and running for even 2 hours you get a nice round of rewards.

Once the network has been stable for 24 hours I will email all of the exchanges and ask them to reindex and to take TRC out of maintenance.

Both Zpool (http://www.zpool.ca/explorer/1488) and Multipool.us (https://www.multipool.us/dashboard/pool/trc) are on the correct chain so if you want to mine then mine on those pools. Mining-Dutch and Ispace are on the wrong chains so anything mined there will be lost.

Our explorer is once again on the correct chain: https://explorer.terracoin.io/

Even if you are on the correct chain I would not send TRC right now. I would wait till everything is running smoothly for 24 hours then send.

Once the network is fixed the masternode ROI will return to around 30%, so if you are using masternode ranking sites be prepared for that.

Thanks for your patience and welcome to all of the new community members.

Thanks for the quick reply! I have python run-times installed but get a database error when I run sentinel.py. It seems to want an sqlite instance to be present. If it worked with MySQL I would be set.

I think you may need this:

I heard the news of Terracoin somewhere even in Chinese block.
And this project is Est 2012
It still alive.
Sooo cool guys.
2017 is the year of blockchain.
Hope you guys going well.

Thanks! I think 2018 is going to be our year. Welcome!

Hello guys. Does anyone know when deposit/withdraw Terracoins on Cryptopia will be available?

Once the network has been stable for 24 hours I will email all of the exchanges.

I see this coin has really good masternode return, and I want to setup one. This coin is old coin, the devs just implement the masternode recently?
I don't know this coin before but anyway it has good masternode profit. That's one of the most valuable reason for buying this coins.

Thanks! Sadly, since we are having network issues masternode ranking sites have an inflated ROI for Terracoin. Once all of the current masternodes return to action the ROI will be around 30%. We have other things besides ROI going for us though. We have decentralized governance which allows anyone with a masternode to put in proposals for governance funds to fund their projects, and we have a dedication to helping out the world. Check out our whitepaper.

Curious how the same transaction ID can have multiple enabled masternodes.

I think this just shows which transaction they are all in. So they could have just sent 5000 TRC in many chunks really quickly.

signing node of the last watchdog --> "SigningMasternode": "ceef4a4bb30aca6a719579385f2f59b9c8cf396f448e7f5678251f68fec47194-15"

coincidence?

I think so. It looks like the first time you run Sentinel it will put in a watchdog, and then as time passes other Sentinels will get a chance.

Hanzac always has the data! So there is a link to the explorer of this person just getting a bunch of 5000 TRC chunks in 1 transaction.

I created a windows version script (watchdog.bat) to vote down the watchdogs: https://slack-files.com/T0W1W8KTK-F89LNG53M-69e44835ff
You can try, it's plain text, copy to a text file and name as like watchdog.bat.
Then you can configure a scheduled task (use windows Task Scheduler) to run it (run it at the same directory as terracoin-cli) every hour or so.

Thank you! While we work on the issue this will help keep your masternodes getting rewards.

I cloned the latest source from github/terracoin, compiled, and ran terracoin-qt version v0.12.1.5-c4844c5b1 (64-bit). I also ran sentinel which reported ":575:error ==== 3 failed, 20 passed". "masternode status" shows successful started, Masternodes tab shows ENABLED for 7h.

2 rewards came in, one still confirming, but the one with 163 confirmations doesn't show up in block explorer. I did have the WATCHDOG error show up twice, and I did the gobject voting to invalidate it, which also reported success. However, I'm wondering if I'm on the right chain? Is this expected behaviour?

The test data is not all updated, so yes, 3 failed, 20 passed is the correct response from the test of Sentinel.

It sounds like you may be on the wrong chain if your rewards aren't confirming. Check your block against our explorer (https://explorer.terracoin.io) and both Zpool & multipool to see if you are on the right chain.

If you aren't on the right chain then clearbanned and reindex.

Thanks to Thundercock for answering questions while I was away, and at work!
