Issues with Masternode Payments Fork

Please update ASAP!

Some bad masternodes set off a chain reaction which forked the network
into many smaller forks. To ensure you're on the correct fork please
update your daemon and run with the command "-reindex". It may take a
bit to reindex, but you'll be on the correct fork.

I'm also at a lost here. Never had this issue on testnet (local / remote), but mainnet has been giving me trouble for some reason (local setup) so I took extra troubleshooting procedures. I've been away for two days and left everything shut down, yet my old IP is still listed as :1 (twice) ...

Local VM Ubuntu 14.04
- updated darkcoind 10.8.8, -reindexed, stuck issues fixed
- closed internet connection (to get brand new external IP)
- generated new genkey and put in darkcoin.conf
- masternode started successfully
- tried with and without 'externalip=xx.xx.xx.xx" (but this is only required for local /remote right?, tried anyways...)

Waited a good 45 minutes to propagate and I still can't find myself on the masternode list, any advice please?

Updated and reindexed - still stuck at 74604.

Edit: problem now solved - took a long while to get the blocks.

Hi,

My masternode receive just this error, no payment:

I don't know what to do

Anyone know the cause/fix to this? I'm having the same problem across all my masternodes.
 
I updated to 0.10.8.8. Everything seems to be working fine. MNs are on every list and fully synced with the right fork. However, one of them has already received a payment according to explorer.darkcoin.io but it doesn't show up in the MN's wallet. I was hours ago (block 74700) and it doesn't show up yet. Any idea?

Yeah, I've got the same problem. Nothing in any of my MN wallets, just the 1000DRK.

Where do you see this error?
My MN is on both masternodelists so I assumed it's configured correctly. But apparently that's not necessarily true.
Is there any way to check for a working MN besides getting paid? Because with current unregular payments and bad luck it can take days to get a payment... So when should I get worried? 2days from now, or 3days? And then what? I try to fix it and I will have to wait another couple of days to see if it's working now...
I understand that one can see the pubkey of the Masternodes that got voted on on the blockexplorer. So I figured all Masternodes that received at least 1 vote so far must be configured correctly, but I have no idea how to find out the pubkey of my Masternode.
I think we need an easy way to check if your Masternode is (still) getting votes
 
It's from the debug.log file.

And I received answer on bitcointalk:

- Might be not your input.
- I've always seen stuff like that in the logs, never worried about it.

- i have same errors , but i just got my first payment , so i think it is fine

any idea what these are?
 
FYI
Today, 26 May 2014 Darkcoin pool was mining for 6 hours on forked chain. As a result over 100 blocks were orphaned. We updated pool's wallet to the newest version 0.9.4.8 yesterday. Everything worked fine. Pool was on proper chain until about 7:20 UTC. Then DRK block chain forked. I asked DarkCoin developer to investigate this issue.
 
Just FYI - earlier I had issues with my masternode. I messed around a bit - updated and reindexed - finally got my local wallet on the right fork as it was on the wrong one.
Seemed to be great after that - just got my first payment.

I know others were having issues so I wanted to post to update you all.

Votes don't seem to be happening, at least that appears to be why only a fraction of blocks are paying masternodes.

As far as my math goes, the "6 votes till payment" rule will lead to 1/6th (16%) of currently expected per MN payment. The rule is equal to having payment each 6 blocks in median, which meets the facts of the last 24 hours.

We will see how this levels out
 
Good morning :)
sukottosan_d, how did you know you had issues? I updated to the latest wallet only an hour after it was announced, I never forked, I'm on the correct chain, I show up on all the masternode lists, and I have two Masternodes. I have yet to receive a payment. I'm wondering if I am just having really bad luck or what? I'm at almost 25% luck? Almost feels like something is wrong but I can't find the problem. Of course it could just be bad luck....

Well, if that is the case, then I can see why I haven't gotten paid. I'm sure that's not how it was intended to work, so I hope Evan comes back and fixes it, but it is a holiday today, and he's probably out with his family. If I were his wife, I would probably have forbidden him to look at the forums, LOL. He might have been at the grindstone all week for all we know and needs a break.

Honestly, I had doubts based on what I was seeing in my logs - many lost connections and no messages relating to DarkSend.
When I investigated - I noticed my local wallet was not up to the current block.

That may be okay for all I know (the log info) - but I was concerned and now I'm not. Based on the stats I'd say you need to wait a day or two to be concerned if you think you have everything covered.
I think at first - the working nodes will get a few more payments - just because all the nodes are not on the right fork right now.

You do have to factor in that those posting on forums are active - which means they are more likely to have fixed their MNs and there may still be many who have not fixed theirs yet. So you may be wondering why you aren't getting paid - however, it is likely that the people posting are more active - so they have a higher chance of getting payouts because they have troubleshot their stuff.... and, you are just on an unlucky streak to start.
If you follow that....that is a likely possibility.
