Please try 1.2.1, the latest version.

Windows wallet now available for v1.2.1 as well!

New wallet release:
https://github.com/polispay/polis/releases/latest …
Changes on v1.2.1
- Fixed Lucky-PoW
- Starting governance on block 32,800 (block reward reduced by 10%, this blocks will be used for treasury for proposals)
- Fixed seeds.
- Fixed OSX problems.

Update is mandatory or will fork on block 32,800

Current block is 21,367, so there is time to get your update sorted out smoothly.

I can confirm that someone I know tried to send a small test amount to stocks.exchange and did not get it.  So we advise for now that both TradeSatoshi and Stocks.Exchange not be used while we work with them to fix.

We hope coinsmarkets will be back online soon, but that is an exchange-wide issue so we can only wait.

A lot of hash flooded into https://pool.coin-miners.info right as the lucky block approached.

Also, even if one pool has 90% of the hash, that still leaves a 10% chance that another pool will win the block.  That's why it's called Lucky-PoW!

Lucky-block #10080 went to pool https://pool.coin-miners.info , congrats!  Although the block was not automatically paid, the dev will be paying the MN and the miners who were mining the block on the pool.  This transaction is easy to verify - for example, https://pool.coin-miners.info/?address=PFm9FLHeEdTT6AG6FSs1491kyD6T59hejn shows this wallet won 71.154% of the hash on the Block 10080, and will be paid accordingly.

The dev reports that @Cryptopia_NZ listing fee is paid!! However, they are backed up a little, so the listing could take roughly 1-to-2 weeks.

Our Discord Community member @CaseyWatkins has provided an updated MN setup guide for v1.2: https://github.com/tokayseo/polis-doc/blob/master/masternode-setup/Masternode-VPS-Setup-Guide.md

All masternodes that are on the right chain and set up properly will receive rewards.  The .conf setting above just ensures that the client syncs to the right blockchain.

Everyone please ensure you are on the right chain.  http://block.polispay.org  and https://coinsmarkets.com/walletstatus.php?ticker=POLIS show the correct blockheight.

If you are having trouble syncing to the right block, use the following for your .conf file:


Then clear old %appdata% except wallet and configs and reindex (on linux its the .poliscore folder).

The "connect" command forces the client to use only the listed nodes, whereas the "addnode" command does not force the client to use the listed nodes.  So "connect" will force the right chain, but it will reduce your connections as the client will not connect to anything else. Once you are on the right chain, you can switch from "connect=" to "addnode=".

Credit to our amazing Discord community for these instructions and for banding together to nip a potential fork problem right in the bud.

Those of you with missing transactions: re-sync your wallet once you are on the right chain.

Those of you with missing pool payments: see @grendel25's post above.

v1.2.0 has just been released!  Grab the updated binaries at https://github.com/polispay/polis/releases

To everyone having problems sending/receiving:

1) Make sure your wallet is on the right chain.  There have been some forking issues that the dev has worked hard to solve, and most people are now reporting that no issues with sending to CoinsMarkets.  Check your chain by going to one of our explorers at http://block.polispay.org or http://explorer.polispay.org/insight/ and make sure your wallet block is the same as the current block on the explorer.

2) Make sure your pool is on the right chain.  As all pools are run by third-party operators, we cannot guarantee that a pool will be correctly set up and operated.  Check the block height of the pool you are on, or contact your pool operator to ask them. 

We will work on an updated list of pools.  Pool operators please PM me on Discord with your pool address, current hashrate, and confirmation that you are on the same chain as the block explorer.

3) Come join us at Discord if you need further support and have specific questions.  We have a great community helping everyone out there.  It is much easier to provide support on live chat than on a forum.

Thank you for your patience.  POLIS' market performance has been quite exceptional compared to its peers, we look forward to continuing this journey with you!

Can you please clarify?  Nothing appears to be wrong with the Discord.

Discord users are reporting that CoinsMarkets is on the right chain now.  Remember to confirm your blockheight with http://explorer.polispay.org/insight/blocks

We are working with Pool operators to sort this out.  In the meantime, please ensure you are on the right chain (same based on the explorer) and using a pool that is on the right chain.  HOLD OFF SENDING TO EXCHANGES until we get everyone on the right chain.  Thank you for your patience.

v1.1.0 is out, and the dev has recently released compiled binaries for Windows and Mac.  PLEASE make sure your client/pool/MN are on the correct chain.  Update at https://github.com/polispay/polis/releases and check your blockheight with http://explorer.polispay.org/insight/

MAKE SURE YOUR BACKUP YOUR WALLET.DAT FILE BEFORE MAKING ANY CHANGES.

New block explorer! http://explorer.polispay.org/insight/

http://masternodes.online  has corrected its stats.  The ROI has been corrected, but is still over 1000%!  If you're interested, consider mining or buying some (but please invest responsibly)!

All of the MN coins that have launched in the last 6-12 months have been this way: they start off with a very high short-term ROI in the thousands or 10s of thousands of %, because it takes time for people to set up MNs.  POLIS isn't even a half-week old.  It will take time for the hash, number of nodes, etc. to stabilize.   After that the ROI will be easier to gauge more accurately.

The fact that we started at 5000% is a very good sign because it means the launch was largely successful (as the dev noted, that may not be the true ROI right now).  A MN is unlikely to actually make 5000% from just MN block rewards because the number of nodes will increase a lot, but the price of the coin often rises as the number of nodes rises (because of stronger network and lower circulating supply).  So this is looking like a very good investment if we stay on this trajectory (but remember - all such investments are subject to risk, please buy responsibly).

I  am not familiar with this exchange, and I don't believe polis_dev requested this listing.  Everyone please be careful when using smaller exchanges. We're happy for POLIS to be spread far and wide, even to smallest exchanges, but remember that there are risks with smaller exchanges.  I am not saying I have heard anything bad about outletbit.  I am just suggesting that you take care.

There is a MN setup guide pinned in the #general channel of our discord, come join us!  https://discord.gg/cAkeh8Y

Every MN coin has the issue that ROI falls as people buy more MNs.  However, this still increases value because as more people buy MNs, the circulating supply goes down, so the price of the 1000 POLIS collateral goes up.  You can't only focus on the ROI.  Look at DASH - the value is not just in the ROI from MN rewards, it's also in the inherent appreciation of the collateral.

Every new MN launch (and every crypto) is risky, so please only invest money you can afford to lose.  But to say "more MNs will reduce ROI" as if it's a bad thing is to attack every single MN coin, not just this one.  If you don't like MN coins, that's okay, there are plenty of other opportunities in crypto for you with different coin styles
