Everyone please ensure you are on the right chain.  http://block.polispay.org  and https://coinsmarkets.com/walletstatus.php?ticker=POLIS show the correct blockheight.

If you are having trouble syncing to the right block, use the following for your .conf file:

Code:
maxconnections=256
connect=35.227.49.86:24126
connect=192.243.103.182:24126
connect=185.153.231.146:24126
connect=91.223.147.100:24126
connect=96.43.143.93:24126
connect=104.236.147.210:24126
connect=159.89.137.114:24126
connect=159.89.139.41:24126
connect=174.138.70.155:24126
connect=174.138.70.16:24126

Then clear old %appdata% except wallet and configs and reindex (on linux its the .poliscore folder).

The "connect" command forces the client to use only the listed nodes, whereas the "addnode" command does not force the client to use the listed nodes.  So "connect" will force the right chain, but it will reduce your connections as the client will not connect to anything else. Once you are on the right chain, you can switch from "connect=" to "addnode=".

Credit to our amazing Discord community for these instructions and for banding together to nip a potential fork problem right in the bud.

Those of you with missing transactions: re-sync your wallet once you are on the right chain.

Those of you with missing pool payments: see @grendel25's post above.

but how will I get to the pool MPOS network to get the coins?

Technically it is the pool operator's responsibility.  Based on what I've read in this thread and in Discord (I'm not on the dev team or anything, so nothing I say is official) it looks like the dev offered to make up the missing payments on MPOS and other pools that forked, but MPOS has neither responded nor has it corrected its fork.  The dev team cannot possibly be responsible for that, it's just a really, really terrible way to run a pool and everyone needs to stop mining there ASAP.  The pool operator should be the one to compensate you for any mining you did after the dev told them to correct the problem and offered to compensate them for the blocks forked up to the point that the fork became public knowledge.  It sounds like it's just a scammy pool.

MAKE SURE THE POOL YOU ARE USING IS ON THE RIGHT CHAIN, AND STOP MINING AT MPOS POOL.
