Mandatory upgrade: SYSCOIN 2.0 to SYSCOIN 3.0

General

2.0 chain was copied on May 2nd and started on the 3.0 chain. So the 3.0 chain retains all information from the 2.0 chain as of May 2nd.

If balance/aliases on May 2nd, they will be available on the 3.0 chain. You just need to upgrade to the 3.0 chain with SYSCOIN QT 3.0.4

Any events on Blockmarket 1.2.X or QT 2.1.X after May 2nd are not valid.

Poloniex
If you had coins on Poloniex, you are fine. Buying and selling on Poloniex while the deposits and withdrawals are paused is okay because their SYS tokens are represented internally on a database. Once they resume trading and withdrawals and deposits resume, they will be redistributed on the 3.0 chain.

Yobit
Yobit did not upgrade or pause deposits and withdrawals, and are therefore responsible for any trades, withdrawals or deposits taking place on their platform after May 2nd.

Exchanges who upgraded from SYSCOIN 2.0 to SYSCOIN 3.0 at the date of this update being published:

Bittrex
Livecoin
Flyp.me
Coinomi (still in Beta-new release coming)
Binance
Sistemkoin
Vebitcoin
Bittylicious

Technical Updates & Info

Getting Aliases for Airdrop 1st June
• Aliases will become available in BM3.
• There is a new Syscoin QT 3.0.4 release: https://github.com/syscoin/syscoin/releases
• BM3 will be launched upcoming days.
• BM3 is in final testing.
• Within BM3, new Aliases can be linked to existing addresses.
• You will not need to move Masternode locked coins or lose seniority.

The Alias can be attached to your masternode address. A specific guide for
 this will be written and published.

Please note again: A Masternode Alias is not an Alias for SYS.

Masternodes

General
• At the moment of publishing there are more 867 masternodes online.

• Latest release of QT to run MN’s is version 3.0.4. Covers fixes for MN status.

• Upgrading from 3.0.3 to 3.0.4 is not mandatory at the moment.

• Masternode daily reward calculation: 37411.2 SYS a day / (#masternodes).

• Nodes can’t receive blockrewards before they are online. Once online, it takes 2.6 * |masternodes| / 60 hours to get your first reward.

Checking masternodes

You can check your nodes with your server console on your server (e.g. Putty). Uptime of your master node can be checked by inserting this line into you server console (e.g. Putty):

syscoin-cli masternodelist active seconds | grep your IP
Number of master nodes running is found by inserting this line into your server console (e.g. Putty):

syscoin-ci masternode count

Feedback

If anyone has any suggestions regarding information to be included in this weekly newsletter, please let us know and join the “Community Marketing” channel on Slack.

In this way we are able to improve our marketing and communication efforts to the community.

Syscoin Encrypted Messaging Service

Syscoin 3.0: The New Blockchain Application Development Platform for Leaders, Inventors, and Innovators.

We are happy to introduce a suite of new tools for creating custom blockchain applications with Syscoin 3.0. These provide flexibility, scalability, minimize blockchain bloat, and allow for smaller application footprints. These tools enable additional functionality alongside the Syscoin Core and can be used on custom projects and applications with cross-platform blockchain security, signing, and identity capabilities. Functions that bloat or slow down the blockchain have been abstracted from the core as optional libraries to allow for separation of concerns and parallel execution — all hashed and anchored to the blockchain. By providing these types of tools we can build a larger and more robust ecosystem around Syscoin and its services.

Syscoin Encrypted Messaging Service

Syscoin’s encrypted messaging system is designed to create a secure and unbreakable messaging platform that is anchored to the blockchain. Messages require a transaction fee for each message, and can be stored free for an arbitrary length of time, or permanently for an additional fee. Optional ephemeral messaging can increase security if keys or end-points are ever compromised; messages can be removed after an arbitrary length of time, and cannot be mined for data by nefarious parties if they no longer exist. Messages are encrypted using blockchain authentication and use an asymmetrical ECEIS public/private key scheme, secured by an identity system. Message size and rate can be limited to prevent spamming and DDOS attacks.


Off-Chain Encrypted Messaging



Encrypted Messaging for Blockmarket
 
Using Syscoin’s encrypted messaging system will offer a much faster, cheaper and richer messaging experience within Blockmarket. Messages are now instant and indicate if a message is read or unread, with increased usability, better user experience, and more capabilities. Messages are encrypted to your public/private key, hashed and stored in a distributed cloud service provided by Blockchain Foundry and anchored to the Syscoin blockchain.



Future Capabilities

In the coming months of development we plan to add additional functionality to Syscoin encrypted messaging service. With the new messaging system it is now possible to implement optional email notifications for specific events on Blockmarket such as notification of a sale or an escrow request. We may also add image support, enhanced (HTML) messages, attachments, export messages to a file for safekeeping, and even support direct phone calls and text messages.

In the initial Syscoin 3.0 release, messages will be stored for free for 30 days but we will be implementing an optional fee to save messages for longer than 30 days in later updates.

Developer and Enterprise Resources

Blockchain Foundry, Inc. will be offering developer access to the Syscoin 3.0 suite of blockchain development tools for free for qualified projects upon request, and enterprise licensing for larger scale use-cases.

The chain does not work. Blocks were not there for 12 hours.

https://chainz.cryptoid.info/note/

What happened? No blocks for 5 hours.

Let the Syscoin 3.0 Upgrade Process Begin!

As announced at our official Syscoin Meetup and as stated in our last blog post, the Syscoin 3.0 upgrade process will begin taking place at exactly block number 683412.

We had previously estimated that block number 683412 would take place on April 30th, 2018, however, due to the increasing difficulty of the Syscoin network and longer-than-expected block times (currently averaging over 62 seconds), the completed process will most likely be taking place on May 1st, 2018.

We will be taking a snapshot of Syscoin 2.x at block number 683412 and will be running scripts to copy all offers, balances and aliases over which will take a few hours to run.
 
The exchanges will then need to audit the Syscoin 3.0 code, run their own scripts and verify that all balances are exactly the same as the 2.x chain and to verify the Syscoin 3.0 code.

The process for the Syscoin 3.0 fork is unprecedented and will take time. Some exchanges have already begun the preparation for the Syscoin 3.0 fork and we have received confirmation from the most prominent ones. As the processes are different for most exchanges and many are located in different time-zones throughout the world(IE: Chinese Labor Day holiday between April 30th to May 1st), we cannot confirm how long it will take exchanges to resume trading and/or upgrade their wallets.

We are in contact with all exchanges, services & miners that publicly trade and support Syscoin. Bittrex and UpBit have both published their support for the Syscoin 3.0 upgrade, Poloniex has already disabled wallets and all others should be disabling their wallets before block number 683412 (and possibly halting trades).

Support for the Syscoin [SYS] blockchain upgrade

Syscoin will be upgrading their blockchain from Syscoin 2.x to Syscoin 3.0, a new blockchain with a token asset…
    

Backup process: How do I upgrade to Syscoin 3.0?

The backup process is the same as for any upgrade. Just make sure you save your wallet.dat somewhere safe (we suggest you back it up in different locations such as more than one flash drive to ensure you have several backups at different locations).

How to find your wallet.dat on Blockmarket Desktop or Syscoin-qt:

On Windows:
1) Go to your C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Syscoin\ folder and find the file called wallet.dat

2) Copy this to a flash drive or a private cloud account

On Mac:
1) Go to your /Users/[USERNAME]/Library/Application Support/Syscoin/ folder and find the file called wallet.dat

2) Copy this to a flash drive or a private cloud account

If your wallet is encrypted, be sure to write down the passphrase and keep it in a separate location from the flash drive.You may make as many backups as you feel is necessary.
