Mindfox - does the above mean that these nodes are all still on the old wallet? Didn't you build the new wallet so it will only connect to nodes who are on the most current wallet? Or did you forget to update the version number that the new wallet broadcasts?

My wallet is still showing the checkpoint error and I have downloaded the blockchain from scratch 3 times now.

The block explorer is stuck at 12:23 on August 20th.

I guess we can say goodbye to any hope of ever getting back on Bittrex.


My recommendation is that everyone take a really deep breath, hold it for at least five seconds and then exhale slowly...

We've come an incredible distance in a very short time!

I agree with YouIsPeng that more design and testing should be conducted.  Its something we're hoping to bring to the table with the lab we're setting up.

The reality for most coinbases is that its a volunteer effort -- performed largely "between the rain drops" and often by one individual.

CleanWaterCoin unlike 99% of the other coins has an organization behind it -- a nonprofit with a mission.

Bittrex is a for-profit business who behaves rationally out of self-interest.  If they can generate revenue, especially a profit from helping to facilitate transactions, they will list a coin.

doabitofgood.com will be unveiling its own exchange capabilities this fall.  In fact our first exchange will be the ability to "GIVE-WATER"

The reality however is that if anything, centralized exchanges are soon going to become dinosaurs.  P2P exchange is the next big thing, and in order to do that we need to have a trust model in place.  That's something my team is busy developing in our http://www.idcoins.org concept.

My long term vision for WATER and other pro-social coinbases like GIVE is to find a way to merge-mine them.   After we fix GIVE we will shift focus to developing related charity specific side-chains for things like animal welfare, arts and humanities, etc.

And in order to do that we need to start treating the development like any other mission critical application -- give it the resources, time and attention necessary to support it.  Which is why I will be announcing shortly the formation of a new non-profit foundation who's primary purpose is to fund development and certification of coinbases.

PS: If you want to get out, please consider sending your WATER to our http://doabitofgood.com/bit4bit matching donor funds.




How can you sit here and tell us this is backed by an organization which is further developing new features when you can't provide the basics required ie functioning wallet. I have supported this coin since launch with excitement about the cause and the good it can do around the world, but how long can you expect us to sit around and deal with the headache of not being able to have a functioning wallet. The wallet is the foundation for which users rely to support a coin. Maybe the organization should pursue hiring a developer that can create a 100% functioning wallet. If at this point that would even do any good. There are countless coins around and more being launched every day, all with new features and "good causes". What makes this one any different? Besides the fact that the others have functioning wallets.
