The recent updates were essential for DIP3 integration. We would like to thank everyone for their patience, we are aware that these updates can be tedious, but they are essential for the security and future of our network.
DIP3 FAQ
Moving forward with the update to DIP3 masternodes, we have created the following FAQ regarding DIP, this includes tools and video guides to help with the migration from regular masternodes to DIP3 masternodes:
We have created the following tool to help with the migration from regular masternodes to DIP3 masternodes:
https://platform.polisnodes.io/dip3
This tool assumes your masternode is already installed in your VPS.
Polis Core: Masternodes Tools
Running masternodes through Trezor will be extremely safe since funds for the collateral will no longer be kept on a desktop wallet and they will be stored on the Trezor device, either Model One or Model T as they will safe-keep the private keys.
The Polis-masternode-tool is able to run masternodes from the collateral in Trezor hardware wallet storage. At the moment, both Trezor One and model T are supported by Polis, although users will need to upgrade the firmware of Model One to version 1.8.2.
The first public release of the tool can be found here:
https://github.com/hlooman/polis-masternode-tool/releases
Community and Polis support member, Hans, has created a video tutorial on how to start a masternode via Trezor using the polis-masternode-tool. Head to the following link:

Polis Nodes
PolisNodes now supports DIP3 masternodes.
PolisNodes will now show the status for DIP3 masternodes, this status shows what needs to be done to have a DIP3 masternode ready in the platform. You don’t have to recreate your node, you need to follow instructions given in the “INSTALL DIP3” button.
Also, all new masternodes created in PolisNodes will automatically be DIP3. You can create your DIP3 masternodes here:

PolisPay cards
Regarding the PolisPay cards, there are some updates with the on-going process we would like to share:
– We are still waiting for the Cacao license
– Final documentation for establishing a company in Europe is awaiting paperwork. This will allow us to sign a contract with a card provider company for Europe.
– We just finished importation related paperwork, we expect for the cards to arrive shortly. Once we have them we will begin the implementation process.
There’s a real possibility that we might be able to integrate the three main card providers: Visa, Mastercard, and Union Pay. Although it is possible we don’t want to take it for granted; we will update the situation.
Governance
Due to recent updates, the new DIP3 mnlist has had an effect on the current voting of proposals. As a result, the governance tab is not working properly. It is essential that every masternode users cast their votes as the previous votes weren’t recorded. This issue is being further investigated.
Masternode owners can cast their votes via the console. We encourage you to cast your vote ASAP to ensure currently funded proposals get funded in the next superblock. We’ve been putting in countless hours to get through this DIP3 switch so your support in this is highly appreciated.
To vote, unlock your wallet, and open the console and use one of the following commands per proposal (each proposal needs a command).
Use the following commands to vote on the respective proposal:

POLISPAY-Giftcard-Voucher-expansion
Governance: PolisPay vouchers expansion
Regarding the PolisPay vouchers expansion, there are some updates with the on-going process we would like to share:
Unfortunately, there have been some delays due to the recent wallet updates, Polis Core v1.5.3, and the activation of DIP3. The team has been working hard and a lot of progress has been made in the background while the updates occurred. The PolisPay team and Bitcou GmbH are working on integrating everything as quickly as possible. Currently, the voucher tab in the wallet is offline as the whole backend is being rebuilt and is currently being tested.
Many new products will be available, some products are going to be available in more than 100 countries through the PolisPay App if everything goes according to plan by the end of the year.
The Bitcou GmbH team created a short survey regarding market expansion, we appreciate taking the time to answer it.
