---------------------ANNOUNCEMENT-------------------------------
Dear Community,
For some time now we are able to observe that developers are not active or have left the project. There are two possibilities now :
1. We leave the project as well and let it die, or
2. We make it a community driven coin.
We are a team of crypto enthusiasts and we still believe in this project, therefore have stepped up and will make this project live on. At the moment we don't want to promise too much, what we can definitely promise is to dedicate our time and hard work to this project. We will not take any of the coins (as premined). We have all invested our own money to buy coins on the exchange. We are not interested in short gain, but rather want to make this project stable and develop it into healthy long term growth, with strong community behind. Transparency is one of our main goals, that is why we want to keep you informed right from the begining.
A) First thing for you as a community to do is to get on the RIGHT chain. This is very important.
The chain has split, and many of you are on the WRONG chain. Therefore also masternodes don't pay out, and require "new start". It is very important to get everybody on the right chain, becouse this blocks the further developement of the project.
What you can do : You need to delete everything from the folder bankittcore, except wallet.dat, bankitt.conf and masternode.conf (it is possible also to delete only peers.dat). Be extremely careful not to delete wallet.dat, or you may loose all your coins. Then you need to add nodes that are 100% sure on the right chain to your bankitt.conf file :
addnode=80.64.131.242
addnode=159.65.4.213
addnode=159.65.4.238
addnode=93.82.27.19
addnode=95.65.39.101
addnode=136.243.24.2
addnode=188.6.168.185
addnode=194.67.217.145
And after you let chain sync again. The WRONG chain is stuck at 56xxx ... so if you sync past that number you are on the RIGHT chain (At the moment of writing this post block height is 59596).
You can also add maxconnections=125 to your bankitt.conf file. Please dont make this number higher than 125, or you might desync again.
For people using VPS for masternodes here are basic instructions how to resync to the RIGHT chain :
First login to root - if you have it installed on root (using Putty)
Type in bankitt-cli getinfo - if your block number is 56xxx, than you are on the WRONG chain... If your block number is 59xxx than you are ok and you don't need to do anything here.
If you are on the WRONG chain than type in
bankitt-cli stop
after type in
nano -w bankitt.conf
you need to add the right nodes inhere (probably the best that you copy exact bankitt.conf file you have on GUI wallet)
You press
Ctrl + o
Enter (to save)
Ctrl + x (to exit bankitt.conf)
After that you type in
cd /
cd root
ls -la
You will get the list of folders, and if there is .bankittcore
you type in
cd .bankittcore
when you are in the folder you type in
rm peers.dat
after that you type in
ls -l
And you will get the list of content of folder bankittcore, if there is no peers.dat file in it, than you are ready to continue.
type
cd / (to leave bankittcore folder)
type
bankittd -daemon -reindex (it will start daemon, and sync)
check the progress with bankitt-cli getinfo, few times... If you block number is getting higher you are on the right path and almost there. When block number is fully synced (it usually takes around 10minuts)
type in
bankitt-cli stop
and last step type in
bankittd -daemon
After that you can check with bankitt-cli getinfo, and bankitt-cli masternode status
This are basic instructions on how to get to the RIGHT chain...if it doesn't work for you please contact us on this forum or discord channel.
B) The next very important thing is blockexplorer.
At the moment blockexplorer is not working, so we are working hard to make blockexplorer online and functional as soon as possible.
C) Our only exchange - Graviex has temporarily stopped withdrawals/deposits of Bankitt coin.
Their requirements to give green light on Bankitt trading are :
1. In the ANN thread needs to be a clear signal that community is still interested to support the coin. (we are good on this one)
2. Working blockexplorer + 3 seednodes which have actual data and filter out all unreliable old wallets (we are working on this)
3. Activity from the people to resync and build a stable blockchain with continous mining
4. Person that will administrate with exchanges and/or community things in case of problems. (we have this)
5. A website which contains the usual basics. (we are working on this)
6. And the most important a fresh fixed wallet which syncs without the need of manual adding nodes (we are working on this).
We are already in communication with Graviex, and they are willing to let Bankitt trade on their exchange, as soon as we meet their basic requirements.
D) So this announcement was made with intention to get some feedback from the community.
We plan to include community into voting for directions, this coin should take. Let us stand together and make this good long term project.
In next few days we are going to make another announcement, after we see what is the community response.
Hope we can work together
Cheers
