The Markets Client is also being updated as well, and both will have checkpoints so this rare issue doesn't happen again. The update for the Markets Client will come a day or two after the QT Wallet update announcement, which will be posted here soon.

Thank you everyone for your patience.

You must use the combination of new wallet and bootstrap versions to be sure to get on the correct chain.

Those of you that use Qt wallet please refer to the instructions we have previously posted:

Hey Doc we recommend that everyone update to the latest version of QT even if they are already on the correct chain, so you don't end up experiencing this problem in the future. The new wallet contains some counter measures against chain split. So by updating you protect both yourself and the rest of the network. 

I use the Markets Client. Can I just:
1. Save my keys
2. Do a complete uninstall
3. Download the latest version and do a virgin install?
I don't mind syncing from scratch.

That should do it, right?

I just renamed the BitBay directory to BitBayOld and did a clean install to BitBay.

** Community Update **

The BitBay devs have now restarted work on the required updates to make the web wallet compatible with the new Dynamic Peg protocol.

And after the web wallet has been updated, we'll be releasing an update for the Android app, and then... building a new iPhone app for all our patient iOS users!

 

The price is up to 8 cents already due to the peg and if it wasn't for censorship and having to deal with scam exchanges making it hard to list we would be at the top of the charts and you know it. We live in an Idiocracy and you can choose to not be part of it. Admit it, you don't enjoy being a shill. Deep down you wish you were nicer.

Want to see what BitBay’s Dynamic Peg looks like under the microscope?

Here’s an example of how “BAYtoshis” are organised into indexed columns instead of a disorganised pile of satoshis like #Bitcoin!



Why do we do it this way? Find out more tomorrow ...

if your wallet is syncing, it's working. It takes about 4 hours even with the bootstrap. The blocks are being pulled from the bootstrap file instead from peers and uses that info to build the new files that you see.  You'll be good when your wallet syncs. You might need to restart your wallet to see your frozen balances in the correct spot if you voluntarily froze any coins.

Don't look now; but BAY is back in the TOP 50 Coins by Market Cap!
 
AND is leading every coin in positive % change on CMC!
AND is leading Btc by 42.93%!
