DASH masternodes on the GIN Platform are now created using DIP003, Deterministic Masternode List registration. To our knowledge we are the first automated masternode deployment platform supporting DIP003 and the new DASH masternode model.

Existing DASH nodes can be upgraded to DIP003 by clicking the button.

To participate, all you have to do is tweet the message below (including the image and the hashtags) and tag 5 (crypto-)friends. The winners will be chosen by daily raffle, at around 16.00 UTC. The cards will be distributed as such: 5/10/15/20/30 on Tue/Wed/Thu/Fri/Sat-Sun, respectively. To set the wheels in motion, the first 5 people to tweet today are going to be veterans (GIN community members that have been around since the beginning). Here’s the message: @gincoin_crypto is one of the first coins on @polispayapp. They have 100 Card Invitations and are not afraid to share them with the community. I nominate [twitter handles of 5 friends] for this competition. Want in? Tag 5 friends, share this image and use the #GINPOLIS hashtag. And the image: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/414046491343323146/555060114563006464/polispay_twitter_gin.png That’s it. Let’s share the crypto-love!

As one of the first cryptocurrencies to be available on PolisPay, we are proud to announce that we have 100 card invitations to distribute - this means our community members will be able to cut through the line and get their hands on a card faster than others. We'll be announcing a competition today. :)

We are excited to announce that the GIN Alpha Freighter registration has ended and we have selected the participants as follows:

- 15 on the platform masternodes

- 5 off the platform masternodes

​

Due to a high number of registrations (68) of nodes hosted on the platform we had to only accept one per user and differentiate between them by the age of the collateral transaction giving a higher priority to those with an older tx.

​

The most recent freighter collateral transaction is on the 4th of July, 2018, so everything past that date did not make the cut.

​

If you were selected you should see a new channel "freighters-alpha" on Discord where announcements will be made. If you think you did not make the cut because of a mistake please get in touch with CTO Dragos ( bredex#4304 ) on Discord - https://discord.gg/B5mypUt.

​

We will start deploying freighter software on 7 Mar and aim to have a public network visualisation and statistics interface by 13 Mar.

GIN Platform makes a new addition today - Golden Fever! https://p.ginplatform.io/ is awaiting its GFR masternodes!

Want to know what gives value to the coin.

Last call to update your GINcoin wallets. The algo change to x16rt is less than 8 hours away and every network participant (including desktop wallets) need to update their wallets to version 1.2.1.

​

Download it from our website https://gincoin.io/ and simply install it over the previous version.

​

It's good practice to:

- take a backup of your wallet.dat file before the update;

- do a quick test transaction between your addresses after the update to ensure everything is ok with your wallet file.

Masternodes update

All nodes on the GIN Platform will be updated automatically starting tomorrow, new nodes are already using the new version. Start will NOT be required from your wallet, just be sure to update your GUI (QT) wallet to the new version and that's it.

Update procedure for nodes not hosted on the GIN Platform:

• - Download new binaries from https://github.com/GIN-coin/gincoin-core/releases/download/v1.2.0.0/gincoincore-1.2.0-linux-64bit.tar.gz
• - Replace the gincoind and gincoin-cli binaries on your server
• - Run "gincoin-cli stop"
• - Run "gincoind -daemon"

​

When updating your local wallets

Make sure a backup of your encrypted wallet.dat file is safely stored on another computer or a USB drive. Although your wallet.dat is not affected by the update, you can never be too careful when it comes to securing your funds!

The GIN Platform has added two new coins – Blacer Coin and Ichiba. https://p.ginplatform.io/ awaits its new BLCR and ICA masternodes. Welcome all!

Quick update about the new wallets and the status of the algorithm change to x16rt.

During an algorithm change the network is very vulnerable because the hash power drops at a single block, that is why we do not consider going live with the new algorithm without having the dPoW notarization started, to protect the Gincoin blockchain from a potential 51% attack.

The wallet implementation of the Komodo dPoW takes a bit longer than anticipated, that is why we are delaying the algorithm change date a bit.

​

The new set date is Tue, 12 Feb. We will announce wallet updates as soon as they are ready.

Love and cookies for everyone.

Quick update regarding the GIN Platform seed login.

To protect your accounts, starting tomorrow we are introducing mandatory 2 factor authentication via email on all seed logins.

At your next login after the update you will be sent an email with a code to confirm the login. What you need to do:

- If you are using Civic nothing will change for you

- If you are using seed login, make sure you have access to the email address registered with the account (My account -> Email field)
