If it loads but your coins are missing, you can try going to Help-> Debug Console - and type "repairwallet" - so long as the wallet is in the proper location (default direction is %APPDATA%/.Ignition/) it should recognize and fix any issue

Hello small update to  give - We have enlisted the developer CircuitBreaker to implement BIP65 as well as a few other minor improvements, which will allow us access to true decentralized exchanges, such as BlockNet DEX in  the future.

Will keep informed when that work is completed. Thank you all.

We are listed on a new exchange, Graviex!

Friendly reminder that there is just under 1 month remaining before the network wide upgrade takes effect.

Please upgrade to V1.2.0! Thank you

Ignition v1.2.0.0 is a mandatory upgrade that implements a several major changes. It also includes some minor bug fixes and improvements. Please upgrade by block 521352.
This version IS MANDATORY and not compatible with previous versions of the wallet after block 521352 - If you run any node prior to version 1.2.0.0, it will not be compatible with the network after that block height.
Changes in 1.2.0.0 Include:
- PoW Mining Will End at Block 521352 which is around Nov 15th, 2019
- PoS/MN Reward Ratio Change from 50/50% to 45/55 % also at Block 521352, Around Nov 15th
- A Bi-Yearly Max Blocksize Increase System for On-Chain Scaling that starts in 4 years (6th year from genesis block approx.), After Which the Block Size Maximum will Increase by 1MB every 2 Years.
- Some Minor Bug Fixes and Improvements

Download release or compile yourself from our github  https://github.com/ignitioncoin/ignitioncoin/releases

You can find a list on  the chain explorer here: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/ic/#!network

This should be the final changes for the network upgrade:

PoW Mining will end at block 521352 ~Nov 15th
PoS/MN Reward Ratio Change from 50/50 % to 45/55 % also at block 521352 ~Nov 15th
A Bi-Yearly Max Blocksize Increase System for On-Chain Scaling that starts in ~4 years (6th year from genesis block approx.)
Some Bug Fixes & Minor Improvements

We are waiting for Raz to get mac compiles built when he has free time, and then we will prepare for full release. If you have any questions, join our discord at https://discord.io/Ignition

Well, this note ^^ didn't age well. It was announced that Cryptopia has entered liquidation. Please see this page for information: https://www.grantthornton.co.nz/press/press-releases-2019/cryptopia-limited-appoints-grant-thornton-as-liquidators/


In other news, we are preparing to release Version 1.2.0 version of Ignition Coin, which will be a required update, but you will have either 4 or 6 months to upgrade. (TBD this week)

The changes will include an end to PoW and a rebalance of PoS/MN Reward ratio, from 50/50 to 45/55%, but both POS and MN's will earn rewards twice as often, due to PoW's end. This will activate (the end of pow and rebalance to rewards) at a set blockheight (either 4 or 6 months away).

We are also considering implementing an automatic scaling of blocksize maximum's in this upgrade. The idea is that the 20MB block size limit would be able to increase at set intervals by either set amounts (+kB/block), or set percentages, i.e., +1%, every X blocks (could be every year, every 2, etc).

Normally, it requires a fork upgrade (similar to this one for pow ending) to change block size, so if we think the block size will need to grow at any point in the future, it would be in our best interest to include these changes now (to activate in the future) rather than make a required network upgrade in the future that is stand-alone.

This would ensure that blocks will scale for on-chain transactions, automatically, far into the future, and at a much slower rate than moore's law.

Please reply here or in discord with your thoughts on this final question. Thanks.

Thanks for the continued support everyone! Today we released version 1.1.2:

Download here: https://github.com/ignitioncoin/ignitioncoin/releases/tag/1.1.2.0

Ignition v1.1.2.0 is a non-mandatory upgrade that implements a large array of automated functions via a setup-manager script for linux that enables interactive and easy to use feature to install Ignition on linux, compile for windows and linux, assist in masternode setup and more. It also includes 2 minor bug fixes, one that improves mac compiling and another that reduces debug log bloat & spam.
This version update IS NOT MANDATORY and compatible with the following versions of Ignition Coin wallet: 1.1.0.0 , 1.1.1.0 -  If you run any node prior to version 1.1.0.0, it will not be compatible with the current network.

- Fixed an issue with debugging network connections that would bloat debug logs
- Implemented a new script that can interactively assist in the following:
 - Installing node software on Linux
 - Compiling node (on Linux) - including CLI, GUI, and cross-compiling for Windows
 - Backing up node data on demand, including the conf file, masternode configuration, and wallet
 - Installing required dependencies and preparing the system with swap space and firewall settings
 - Assisting in masternode setup (hot-cold masternode only, Linux side)

Progress is coming along nicely for V1.2:

You can follow the development of #Ignition Coin 1.2 here: https://github.com/ignitioncoin/ignitioncoin/commits/1.2.0.0 …

So far, almost 100 small updates (commits) including changes to the PoW/MasterNode reward ratio, PoW decommission, Masternode Setup Automation, and Setup/Compile Manager Scripts.

Thanks for the feedback. Will contact them.

Thanks for that suggestion. I couldnt tell if it was a spammer in the chat since you were a new user - Can you tell us if you think they are trustworthy and have integrity? We have been through several exchanges now that have been... disappointing.

Hi all, we have laid out some of our short to medium-term plans for development here, on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ignitioncoin/comments/adsn8z/updates_and_plans_for_the_year_of_2019/

Great to hear! Thanks for the support.

Hi. After you used repairwallet, it looks like it fixed incorrect transactions, or conflicted stakes.

Did your wallet ever sync naturally? Seems you had peers, which should send you blocks. If you want you can send me your debug.log in discord or to one of the other developers there, its in your Ignition data directory (on windows type %APPDATA%/Ignition in the file explorer address bar)

If it has synced now, you should be back to staking by now. If not you can do a few things, I would recommend these steps:

First, shut down the wallet.
Second, delete all the files in the Ignition Data Directory, except for the wallet.dat and Ignition.conf.
Then, start the wallet again, and it will start syncing from scratch again.

You can also add this line to your Ignition.conf file (open with a text editor)

and it will connect to more peers than the default (25) next time you run the wallet.

Hi everyone!

After months of taking suggestions and opinions from the community, we believe we will be moving toward the reduction or removal of PoW in the next 6-12 months time frame.

Other things that we are planning or exploring at this time are:

• Changing the ratio of PoS vs MN rewards from 50/50 to somewhere in the range of 30-45/55-70 % ratios.
  
• Typos and Minor Bug fixes
  
• Adding auto-start masternode options, so that you don't have to click the start masternode button
  
• Adding auto-send features for masternode and staking rewards
  
• Implement the "Bitcoin Firewall" protocols that would improve bandwidth and reliability of network connections
  

These changes should ensure even more long-term stability and reliability for all users, keep block times even more stable, and reduce the possibilities of issues for users in the future.
Most of the features are still being researched for viability and implementability, but the PoW Reduction/Removal and POS/MN Ratio Changes are certain, the others may be included in the same update or a separate future one.
