No, but seriously, I'm not sure what the roadmap is myself.  I'm new here.  Btw, they have a slack channel that someone linked to on the previous page.

I'm surprised no one has answered your question yet... they're usually very quick to answer on here.

When trying to understand the future of Pandacoin, it is essential to remember that Panda is the Chuck Norris of cryptocurrencies.

It is not Panda that will need a roadmap for 2018.  Twenty-eighteen itself will be completely lost without a Pandamap.

Hey jommy, I sent you a PM, and the system doesn't seem to be sending notifications so I thought I'd pop in here and let you know.

Thanks jommy,

I followed your recommendation and didn't have any different result.  I do a little web development, but I wish I were familiar with XCode, swift, qt, etc; I'd dive right in and help.

Alright guys,

Got another bug report to work on this morning.

This same problem also happened with the earlier version of Panda I was running, before you switched me to this latest version.

1.  I open PandaBank.
2.  The loading screen says Loading Block Index...
3.  Switch to web browser (or any other app) to do something else while Panda is loading.
4.  A while later later, PandaCoin-Qt quits unexpectedly
5.  A quick read of the crash report indicates...
Crashed Thread:        0  Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread

Exception Type:        EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT)
Exception Codes:       0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000
Exception Note:        EXC_CORPSE_NOTIFY

Application Specific Information:
Assertion failed: (pindex->pprev || pindex->GetBlockHash() == (!fTestNet ? hashGenesisBlock : hashGenesisBlockTestNet)), function GetStakeModifierChecksum, file src/kernel.cpp, line 391.
...
6. Attempt to reopen PandaBank
7. Keep PandaBank active without switching to any other app... wait forever (we never progress beyond the loading screen which says Loading Block Index).
8.  Finally get tired of waiting and switch to another app to do something while waiting...
9.  When switching apps, the loading screen is hidden until you go back to PandaBank, and when it is hidden, an error window is revealed to have been behind it!  Viola.
10.  The error screen has an exclamation point on a stop sign and says, Error loading blkindex.dat.
11.  Click "OK".
12.  PandaBank closes with clicking "OK"
13.  Navigate to to ~/Library/Application\ Support/Pandacoin/ and delete all its contents except for wallet.dat
14.  Empty the Trash
15.  Open PandaBank
16.  It works.
17.  Now it will take a long time to get things back to normal, through syncing.

I attempted to make a quick video of this to help you troubleshoot.  https://youtu.be/HjUSjLIGuu0  Thanks for everything

My PND made it into my account!  Great!

Hey I appreciate any free Panda, but it's me who should be paying you for the help, lol

My wallet address is:
PQ71hSUmi7JVwFozGoQV3AFV3mywFVuqaL

So, now that everything is in order, I'd like to offer help in my area of expertise, when the time comes.  I make videos for businesses, and I'd love to get involved in the plans for PND and maybe I could help out with the video.  (my work https://reelworthy.com)

Reading a bit about the history of the coin is pretty interesting... seems that PND was a response to some sort of scam version of another type of panda coin?  I can't remember where I read that (somewhere on here).

Bit of advice BTW.  For the time being, the video on PND's YouTube channel is great... but it has one thing going against it... it is three years old and it's clear that a very small minority of people ever cared much about it during that time... that long duration combined with the tiny trickle of attention makes people who want to invest in a small altcoin very stand-off-ish.  When I first saw the video, I thought "Yeah!  That's great, I've got to get into that!"  Then after I looked at the date and saw that it had already been released for 3 years and did almost nothing, I was bummed and lost faith... but then I thought, Ahh, you never know, and I pulled the trigger and bought some, because it's fun to root for the underdog.

So, I have a tiny bit of marketing advice.  Once the PandaBank wallet is fully functional and user friendly again, unpublish the original video (on YouTube) and reupload the same video, as if it's brand new.  The new date will excite those like me who are new to crypto and are looking for a dirt-cheap coin to buy, and then you can just pump the thing and get some life breathed back into it.

I'd love to know more about the plans, and would be very happy to help, lend my 2¢, and work to build value in this coin.  We could turn this coin into the Chuck Norris of AltCoins, lol.

AWESOME!  My PandaBank is now open and is syncing with the network.

Thanks A million!

Now, when it's synced we'll see if my PND came through or if it's lost in limbo-land.

THANKS

Alright,

Now we're getting somewhere, lol

Here's the next can of worms...

Okay,

When I ran brew install berkelely-db@4, this was the output.

Of course launching PandaBank produces the exact same results.

We're getting there, lol!

Any ideas?

Thanks,

I ran brew install miniupnpc... It's making progress, but not quite there yet.


New report...

Hey thanks,

I do use homebrew and I ran brew install qrencode, unfortunately before I got to the part in your post about maybe waiting to verify the updated version.  No worries though, I can attempt the update under the same failing conditions via my cloned bootable drive instead and let you guys know the results.

So, with the qrencode installed.  Upon attempting to launch PandaBank, we get a new problem...

Hi guys,

Thanks for the help.

I was running the older PandaBank version you referenced (MAC OSX High Sierra 10.13.2).  I backed up my wallet files and erased the contents of the folder, downloaded the latest version of PandaBank from the link you provided, under the mac area, unzipped the .tar, moved pandacoin-qt to my Applications folder and opened it, and it won't open successfully.  It says...

"pandacoin-qt cannot be opened because of a problem.  Check with the developer to make sure pandacoin-qt works with this version of macOS.  You may need to reinstall the application.  Be sure to install any available updates for the application and macOS.  Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple."

I click "Report" and this is a redacted version of what I see...

Hi everyone.  I'm new to PND.  I bought some PND tonight on YoBit.net and I downloaded the PandaBank for MacOS.  Problem is, when I went to deposit my PND, it still has not shown up.  I need some help troubleshooting this.

The first problem is probably that the bottom left of my PandaBank still shows "Searching for Peers".  Can you guys help me get this thing to work and help me verify that I haven't lost my PND?  I think I'm running in Hybrid client mode, but my only evidence of that is that when I click "Classic" or "Lite" I get a confirmation Y/N whether I want to switch, but when I click on "Hybrid" I get no confirmation window and nothing appears to change.

Any help is appreciated.  Thanks,

~jdhadwin
