I love how the same people that are trying to scam everyone keep posting garbage one liners - in response to each other - about how much of a scam this is. 

Because, yeah, if I was so certain this was a scam.... it would be easy to sell my coins and be gone.  It would make zero sense for me to keep wasting precious moments of my life going on and on and on about the same thing over and over again, unless of course I had a different agenda.  Maybe just looking to FUD and buy up cheaper coins?   

Btw, all of you fools do a disservice to your intentions by repeatedly quoting a 7-page long post.  All that's likely to result from that is for people to stop reading your agenda-laden comments and skip forward to the posts that aren't so blatantly stupid.

I read the entire biker dialogue and... well... I didn't really see what all the hubbub was about.  Perhaps I missed something?  It seems that the buyer (you?) got buyer's remorse at some point and started attacking him out of nowhere.  Other than that, I don't see any issue with biker or anyone else from the team selling their XFUEL for XBY. Is there some issue with that which we should all be aware of?

You're not the only one that's lost...  I updated to the v2 wallet last week, performed the swap, and now have the v2 wallet with my Footy in it as expected. But the posts I'm seeing today are telling us to update the v1 wallet. 

What I haven't figured out is if this pertains to me (being that I'm already on the v2 wallet and blockchain network), or if I need to download the latest v1 wallet update, perform a complete sync (which I've been attempting to do but it's moving slower than molasses), and then do some type of exchange again between the Footy in my v2 wallet and the updated v1 wallet.

Would a dev spell this out clearly for us please? And I apologize if it has been and I've missed the announcement, but I checked and re-checked and didn't see anything clarifying this aspect.  Should I keep going with trying to get the latest (v1.3.0.0-g4e2ccb8) v1 client blockchain synced - or is that only if I still needed to swap coins from an exchange to a wallet and then to the new v2 wallet? If our coins are already in the v2 wallet, are we good to go and can ignore this instruction?

Thanks!

Excellent, it looks like I'm up and running.  Thanks again for the assistance!

Hello and thank you for the response.  The wallet did start syncing originally.  It synced up until it was only 2 days behind (yesterday) and now it's 3 days behind. I don't know what happened to get it to stop being able to sync.

I could probably follow your steps anyway... I haven't done the swap yet and wanted to wait until I got synced up so that's as good of idea as any at this point.

Thank you!

Thanks for the suggestion.  The guide didn't really answer my original question, but I decided to go ahead with the upgrade.  It found the expected balance very quickly and they were all showing in the wallet GUI within a minute or so.

I'm about to download, install, and setup the new wallet but would like to be sure of where I'm at first...

I had some amount of IOTA (say, 1000) for a long period of time.  Sitting synced in my wallet.  Within the last week, I've obtained and sent additional IOTA (say, 500) to my wallet.  Those IOTA appeared and I've had the wallet open and displaying that total balance ever since then.

My PC (Windows 10) just rebooted for some automatic updates. When I opened my IOTA wallet, I'm now seeing the original transaction amount and not the full amount that I expect to see.

It was originally showing 0 until I used the Attach To Tangle option.  Then the original (say, 1000) balance came in.  But the rest has not come back in yet. 

I would obviously like for it to appear again at some point, but I don't know if that's a misguided expectation. Is there anything that I need to do in order to rectify the situation?  Is it as simple as waiting it out or are there steps that I should be taking?

Yep, thank you both.  This was my understanding as well and I've already added the addnode command directly to the .conf file and the data has persisted. It seems as if that node isn't actually live for much of the last several days, but if that's not the case then there's perhaps some other issue to get figured out.

I've still be unable to get the new wallet to fully sync.  I've had it up and running for several days now, and I occasionally close it down and reopen it for a fresh start when I see that there's been no sync movement for several hours.

I'm currently held up at "3 days behind".  Any suggestions?

I have zero nodes listed on the main masternode GUI page and three peers (currently) listed in the debug page.

Also, devs, FYI that different screen resolutions are wrecking some havoc on your otherwise nice GUI.  Screenshots attached.  The left anchor for the main v2 wallet container could perhaps be relaxed a little so as to allow greater visibility to the container options list on the left hand side of the interface.

Thanks!

I'd like to test a master node, but I'm not sure that I've got the setup in place to do so right now. 


Regardless of that, I'm trying to get the beta wallet to sync but haven't seen any movement yet from an initial state of "3 weeks behind".  I understand it will be slow,  but I don't have any indicator of movement yet.  I don't see growth in any of the db files in the FootyCashV2 directory.  Is it possible to monitor the state of the sync process in general?


I've also tried to execute the addNode commands in the console, but receive the following return:  Method not found (code -32601)
Commands I tested:
addnode=footycash.com:27017
-addnode=footycash.com:27017
footycash-qt addnode=footycash.com:27017
footycash-qt -addnode=footycash.com:27017



Are there any suggestions or should I just hang tight for now? 

I'm also very disappointed to find that trading has ceased on Cryptopia due to the pending coinswap.  I would like to trade for more FootyCash - will it be possible again before the coin swap?

Thanks


EDIT: 
I was able to get the addnode commands functioning via my system console (PowerShell) with the following command: ".\footycash-qt -addnode=footycash.com:27017" - at least, PowerShell accepted the command/arguments without returning error feedback. 
I have still been unable to observe any changes within the FootyCash GUI. 
I closed and reopened the application and confirmed this to still be the case.
I have also tried the fully qualified address with arguments in the GUI console window; same error as noted above in my original post.

Trying this in the GUI console: 
addnode footycash.com:17017

Returns this message:
addnode
Attempts add or remove from the addnode list or try a connection to once. (code -1)

That's about the most beautiful part of all of this!  It can only be "controlled" by the government in accordance with how capable they are to actually enforce an arbitrary, not necessarily fair set of rules.  One where they skim money off the top at every level of movement...

But once your "money" is in the digital realm, they've got no control over what happens to it. It can move ALL AROUND the entire digital world and they can't touch it, try to tax it, try to steal it from you, etc.

Put differently, governments can control what happens within their borders - at least to the extent that they're actually able to govern, regulate, and capitalize on what happens within their borders.  Exchanges that deal in fiat money are the perfect example. They can charge fees to convert to and from fiat dollars.  But they can't control what you do with those currencies of value in the digital realm. 

Any price controls that they attempt to impose can be superseded directly by the people in any given market/community/economy.

I don't really go into this in my initial draft but the underlying assertion is really that governments and other extremely powerful entities of today will pretty much be gone by tomorrow. Tomorrow in the sense of the human timeline. We just don't need them.  At least, not in the sense that they're currently relied upon. That's too much money and power tied up in too few entities for our population.

It might not be for 10, 20 years or more, but the point is that it's coming up very quickly with the foundation that we have set and technology that has always tended toward advancing much faster than people even predicted it would.

I can see this happening, or at least really beginning to show, within the next 5-8 years probably. Hopefully the wealthy players around today's world will have been able to make some significant strides in infrastructure investments in 3rd world countries by then. We really do want everyone to be able to participate and thrive in this coming age of prosperity.

I think this will inevitably also pretty much eradicate war across Earth. In the physical sense, of course. Physical war will be too costly in such a flourishing economy. Now economic warfare... I could see people fighting for market space for sure. But that's good and healthy if the population is able to choose according to what works best for them.

Smaller, interconnected self-governing pockets of humanity across the globe.

Thanks and I definitely agree that's what we're evolving toward.

Great input.  Systems of currency have been around forever.  But I think the problem with them, in any implementation, is the reliance on and cost to humans in order to maintain the system. Technology has the means to remove human effort and error from the equation, it's mostly just a matter of proving the implementation (getting that trust level built up) and making the interface easier to use on day to day basis.

But, that will no doubt happen.  And as it does, I think we'll find people all around the world are wanting to participate in this global economy. With cheaper methods of creating,  storing, and transferring around our individual and cumulative value... I can see borders completely disappearing and an extreme change occurring across the globe.  There will still be bad actors, because that won't just disappear from the gene pool, but I think that we'll largely be able to transition society away from centralized governments and huge central corporations and instead govern ourselves with a truer form of democracy and in which everyone has a less costly and more rewarding experience.

A government that is not relied upon to operate and maintain every single aspect of our financial economy - and all of the rules and laws and wasted time and effort that goes along with trying to maintain that harmony - is one that can instead focus on what's more important to the people they're governing. This applies globally.

Blockchain should allow every level of society across the globe to operate at a fraction of what it costs today.  We should be entering an era of extreme abundance and one in which traditional economic warfare disappears and we instead pool our collective efforts to build up the neglected parts of the world so that they're able to participate in and enjoy the abundance as well.

If you're considering buying at this point in time, I would recommend determining the total amount that you'd like to put forth between now and Aug 1st.  Then divide that total amount by the number of days between now and Aug 1st (or even add on a few days and make it Aug 5th or some date around then). Whatever number you come up with - let's say it's an even average of $100 - that's the amount of BTC that you buy every day.  You are then allowing yourself to buy into it more and more as the price continues to drop - as many think it will until at least Aug 1st.  In the event that the price stays around the same as it's at today, there's no harm.  In the event that it goes lower, you're averaging out your investment toward the current, lower valuation of a BTC. And in the event that it goes up, you've at least bought some amount at a smaller cost than if you had waited until later to buy.

What's the deal with the "Non-base58 character" error message that is being displayed at check.tezos.com? My address that previously displayed the number of tokens that were linked to it is now displaying that error.  Anyone getting a successful response at this point?

Aquazi, you're pretty much coming across as an absolute idiot to everyone else that isn't trying to own that space in the way that you are.  Your entire argument can pretty much be summed up as such:  "I can't see any real world valuation to this, therefore there isn't any and never will be.  So, you all are so stupid for thinking beyond what my own capabilities allow me to conceive of with regard to any potential market!"

Wow, great argument.  Not to mention that it's formulated entirely around baseless assertions that you're foolishly presenting as absolutes - such as "it's either cheap for guest and unprofitable for host, or it's expensive for the guest and profitable for the host. It can't be both for sure." Why can it NOT be both cheap for users and profitable for hosts...? Because you say so?

The larger the market of users, the more profitable it will likely become to the providers.  You know - as is the case with pretty much every single creation of value in the history of mankind.  There's no stipulation that user costs must increase; rather, costs are most likely to actually DECREASE or, as is also not uncommon, costs will remain the same for an increased offering from the providers.  This really isn't hard to figure out at all.... Look at any single market that has grown over the last 20 years - flat screen TVs, streaming content, the ability to do fast and seamless global transactions for goods and services, etc...  

Ok, so... It's 1995 and TVs exist.  Anyone that envisioned making a better TV was an idiot?  Because a $10,000 30" flat screen TV wasn't viable for everyone to put in their homes? So it's a stupid thought?  Well, look where we are now... Cheaper for consumer and continuing profit for manufacturers.

Photographs and newspapers and televised newscasts have existed for decades... So, obviously there's no need for innovation in that space, right?  Yet, here we are... people are receiving pictures of their friends and family, updates on what's happening in their lives, 24/7 access to live news reports, etc etc etc... And while the cost to users are little or nothing... The providers of those services are undoubtedly making a profit.  They likely wouldn't exist if that wasn't the case.

It's not much different with the general concept of crypto-currencies. Where you and a lot of people are unable to conceive value... others are finding it every day.  It's not getting bigger every day because there's inherently no value behind it; the fact that value is being uncovered and capitalized upon more and more in this space every single day is exactly why it's progressing the way that it is.  And the more people that are able to make use of something - the lower the barrier to entry is for them - hte more valuable that space becomes.

You know what's useless to me if I live in the 1800's?  A satellite for telecommunications and an enormous range of other applications.  But I sure am glad that no one ever proclaimed to the world that the idea of putting a functioning satellite in orbit was "stupid" due to the thought that there's no existing market for such a thing.

Is there a market for decentralized, inherently-encrypted storage solutions that potentially resolve a litany of issues with traditional mechanisms?  Well, that's for those existing providers - or any entrepreneur that can come up with an improved model over existing technology - to decide.  But, apparently they shouldn't... Because you know everything and have already dictated to the world that there's nothing to be seen here.  Good for you - I guess we should all be grateful that you already know everything and can stop us from making a huge mistake.  

If I had to guess, I might think it's more likely that you stand to lose - in some fashion or another - by the widespread acceptability and adoption of this technology and that you're nothing more than a troll here.  If that's not the case, it would behoove you to keep your mouth shut and just try to listen and learn instead of asserting how stupid everyone is.
