Hi Denala! Thanks for the patience. Tavonia/team have been working on updating the mobile wallets and the guappools masternodes connected to them after the major Guap blockchain update that occurred January 1st. She announced earlier this week that the mobile wallets and guappools nodes were now updated too, but so far no one has said their rewards are starting up again so there are still some issues. Tavonia/team are continuing their troubleshooting. Here are some things to note: guapcoinexplorer.com is still down since the January 1 blockchain update. Team is still working on fixing that site. Not sure when it will be fixed, but keep checking! guapexplorer.com is working so that's what you'll want to use for now. You'll also want to use https://www.guapnodes.com/ and enter your wallet address. You're right, no rewards are coming in yet for your address this year since the blockchain update. Tavonia/team are doing their best to fix that. We'll will post any updates when we have them here and in the Telegram group.

Wow, nice work! You did awesome and took care of the heavy lifting. Glad I could point you in the right direction!

Hi and welcome! A few questions for you: Is your desktop wallet version the old 2.3.1 or have you updated it to by carefully following these instructions here https://www.guaptalk.org/topic/158-updating-desktop-wallets-and-masternodes-to-232/ ?? Have you gone to https://guapexplorer.com/ and checked each address to see if the correct balance shows in the blockchain explorer? It could just be that your wallet needs to be updated or that your wallet isn't correctly syncing to the blockchain. Let us know what you find in response to those questions.

XGUAP is short for “extended GUAP” because it expands the capabilities of Guapcoin. It is a wrapped stablecoin pegged in value 1 to 1 to Guapcoin so that you can trade Guapcoin in decentralized exchanges like pancakeswap using the Binance Smart Chain. It also gives the capability of participating in other decentralized finance protocols built on the Binance Smart Chain. Here's a good article to learn about wrapped coins: https://academy.binance.com/en/articles/what-are-wrapped-tokens

Guapcoin 2.3.2 - Rosewood Phase 1 is now released. IMPORTANT: Follow instructions carefully and make sure to back up your desktop wallet first (backup instructions are included in the update tutorials below and can also be found here: https://www.guaptalk.org/topic/85-backing-up-your-desktop-wallet/ If you don't backup your wallet, you could lose access to all your coins!!! Failure to update your wallets and masternodes to v2.3.2 will result in removal/disconnect from the blockchain, meaning your desktop wallet or masternode will not sync with the network, no rewards will be received, and your desktop wallet will be unable to perform transactions. This rewards increase is a major update for all users. The upgrade is fairly simple and requires desktop wallet users to delete the blockchain and chainstate folders from the Guapcoin application directory. This release increases rewards to 20 Guap for Masternodes and 5 Guap for staking. The rewards will remain at this rate until we release the Tulsa DAO upgrade in January – February 2022. All Masternodes and Desktop Wallets must be updated before block height 1,260,000 Info and instructions: https://guapcoin.org/news/guapcoin-rosewood-phase-1-rewards-update-version-2-3-2-released/ Watch this video for step by step instructions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sn0FDOvSg4 IMPORTANT: After you have backed up your wallet, done the update, and then backed up your wallet again just to be certain, then you will need to uninstall the old wallet version Guap 2.3.1 from your computer so that you aren't accidentally running the old wallet.

Tavonia and team finished updating mobile wallets and the Guappool masternodes connected to them. They should be syncing correctly and sending rewards. It might take a few days before rewards start being received.

January 11, 2022 While the world argued about the ethics of crypto, these projects (including Guapcoin) changed the world for the better during 2021. https://cointelegraph.com/news/green-and-gold-the-crypto-projects-saving-the-planet

Tavonia and team just finished updating the mobile wallets and the Guappool masternodes connected to them. They should be syncing correctly and sending rewards now. The guapcoinexplorer website will hopefully be running again in the next few days. Her team is working on that too. For now, can you do the following? Go to https://guapexplorer.com/ and paste in your mobile address and see if you think the value and transactions are correct on the blockchain. Check your mobile wallet and see if transactions are syncing correctly in your mobile wallet. Let us know if you're having troubles still.

Hi Sheldon, welcome! It sounds like you have a masternode share that you purchased awhile ago. Tavonia and team are working hard to update the mobile wallets and the masternodes connected to them, and she appreciates your patience while they undertake this big task. We don't have a completion date yet. Regarding the 2.4999 guapcoin, how much were you expecting? The masternode rewards were cut in half (to 10 per full node) based on the Guap blockchain code around the middle of 2022. However, masternode owners voted last year to change this and the new code is being implemented. On Jan 1, the rates increased temporarily to 20 per masternode as part of the most recent update. When the next update happens (goal is by end of February), the masternode rewards will go to 16. See this announcement for more info about that change: https://www.guaptalk.org/topic/89-rosewood-and-tulsa-blockchain-update-target-launch-dec-2021/

Hi Joe! That line is part of the script. For Ubuntu 20.04, you'll want to do the following: Instructions found here: https://github.com/guapcrypto/Guap-v2.3.2-MN Log into the VPS with root Run this: sudo apt-get install -y git-core Run this: git clone https://github.com/guapcrypto/Guap-v2.3.2-MN.git Run this: cd Guap-v2.3.2-MN && chmod +x ./GUAP-v2.3.2-20.04-MN.sh && ./GUAP-v2.3.2-20.04-MN.sh Continue with the steps noted at the above link. Line item 4 (that you pasted above) is a full command. You don't need to separate it at the "&&" marks, but you do need to run the previous 2 commands first.

Yes, sadly, you'll need to do a fresh install of your MN in that case. There's not a script to do both. Let us know if you have questions along the way.

Hi Joe! I confirmed with developers. You need to upgrade your VPS to at least Ubuntu 18.04. Guapcoin no longer supports 16.04.

Hi Joe! Nice job having a masternode and working to update it! I'm fairly certain that you'll need to update your VPS to Ubuntu 18.04 at least, since I don't think Guapcoin MN code is setup for 16.04 anymore, but I'll try to confirm this with other community members/developers.

Thanks for checking! We're still trying to research and resolve this. Not sure of an ETA yet. I'm gonna move this topic to general support questions since we try to save announcements for the major Guapcoin breaking news items.
