Bitcoin Forum

When Bitcoin was first created it was mined using just a cpu and only used as a mess about hacking currency but also just to see if we could do it in the first place.
 
Then can the greed came in, which moved it onto GPU's which is fair enough, just like the internet, it spread and became more or less decentralised and pretty much everyone in this gaming world has a GPU.
 
Now, with the birth of the ASIC, Bitcoin SHA is not decentralised even for a second and if you believe that, then maybe you shouldn't mine it or think long and hard about it.
 
ASIC's put the power into the hands of governments, the rich and the powerful (Manufactures).

The governments know what they are doing with Bitcoin, to suck you in and then slowly take control.
 
This is why I created Bitcoin Scrypt, a new Bitcoin currency that I will fully support and is free of ASIC control and once again as Bitcoin should be.
 
I want this to be the rebirth of Bitcoin once again BACK into the hands of the people.
 
Thank you for reading.

So exactly who is the developer?

~BCX~

this will be drama central.. it already started.
i asked about it on Crytsy chat and next thing you know i am being called names and threatened with a ban
then i had to listen to people make excuses why i had to defend myself for an hr after that..
i am soo utterly sick of dealing with you people that go there ..i'm done, your not the kind of people i want to associate with or talk to
its rarely useful and full of jerks who want to have a a little efight online.

Screw this dumb coin.. screw Cryptsy and the idiots that hang out there.
I can find better people to deal with else where, expecting to have a mature adult conversation is too of an high an expectation i guess.

ps: Magnet since you were in the middle of it when i asked you.. i'll ask again..
do you know why the dev didn't fix the folder issue ?
an update was already posted so.. wtf ?

and i really seriously hope there is at least 1 single solitary guy out there that is smart enough to understand why i just asked that if not wow.. just wow

and enjoy Cryptsy Chat (with out me) guys i am sick n tired enough of you i'm not going back anymore.. your not worth the hassle sorry
i'm sure that will make a few you dead set on fighting and trolling me very time i go there happy as hell (drama central)
which will carry over here i have no doubt.. might as well rename this coin "Drama Coin 2.0" ..just watch you'll see lol

Spoetnik: @MaGNeT: so who is it ?
Mullick: @MaGNeT: lol i saw your flow tx messaging spam today
Mullick: @Spoetnik: difficulty is usually .75 when people leave its 1.5 now and way off target spacing :( im mining it now
Spoetnik: Magnet why would you go to soo much trouble posting all that on BCTalk ? are you the coin dev / starter or are you holding a shit load ? lol
MaGNeT: @Mullick: :D
MaGNeT: @Mullick: that cost me a lot of coins ;)
MaGNeT: @Spoetnik: I'm an MSX-Basic dev, lol.
Spoetnik: and why in gods name did the damn guy not do a super quick update t folder the folder issue ? seems like mass insanity
Spoetnik: @MaGNeT: ya uhh that sorta dodges what i asked but what ever lol
MaGNeT: @Spoetnik: I just copy-pasted the topic from Cryptocointalk and put in a warning like SaltyPistoon asked for. It's not the first "ANN" topic I started for a coin. Think of it what you like :)
Spoetnik: what like the folder fucks up ypu BTC wallet or watver and and updates was released and the dev didn;t bother to fix that ? lol oooook then
Spoetnik: seriously wtf lol
MaGNeT: @Spoetnik: BitcoinExpress already tested it: it does not damage your Bitcoin wallet. That's why it's allowed on Bitcointalk again.
Spoetnik: dude go read what you aid..
Spoetnik: *said
Spoetnik: IMPORTANT NOTE Installing Bitcoin Scrypt will not delete your SHA Bitcoin folder, it will just integrate with it, so when you run the SHA version, your Scrypt BTC will be unconfirmed and not usable and vice versa.
Spoetnik: uhhhhhhhhh
tucksmcgucks: @Spoetnik: Can I simply rename the SHA folder
Spoetnik: i can rename folders too.. so ?
tucksmcgucks: @Spoetnik: it was a question
Spoetnik: i can create new ones too :p
Spoetnik: ohh i dunno man
Mullick: @Spoetnik: im buying you a present
Mullick: http://workforcrypto.com/?job=be-nice-to-you-for-a-day
tucksmcgucks: @Spoetnik: don't be a douche, I was asking you because I need help
Spoetnik: dude you said soemthing to me that sounded snotty now your calling me names ? fuck you..
Mullick: @Spoetnik: Warned
Spoetnik: get teh fuck off my back jerks..
CheshCa: Jagrapolite adandoned his work?
tucksmcgucks: @Spoetnik: man I never meant to sound snotty, I was refering to the official pool's help text regarding renaming the real BTC folder in your/roaming before installing the BTC2 client, because the client will automatically merge with the reeal BTC folder
Spoetnik: you guys are god damn high on crack seriously wow
tucksmcgucks: "Installing the wallet: Since this is an EXACT copy of Bitcoin when you install the client it will attempt to use the existing bitcoin roaming (windows) folder. You're going to need to rename the Bitcoin SHA-256 roaming folder to something else to use the Bitcoin Scrypt client. BEWARE, this could destroy your wallet if you start mining Bitcoin Scrypt using the Bitcoin SHA-256 wallet.dat file.
Mullick: @Spoetnik: Calm down and ook forward to spots being nice to you for 1 full hour :)
Spoetnik: i am totally calm i was trying to ask Magnet about the coin what the hell is the big problem ? seriously ?
Spoetnik: that other guy can see clearlyi don;t know anything and i was asking questions.. so he starts asking me questions ? why would i know ? i am asking myself LOL
Mullick: well you dropped the f bomb twice
Spoetnik: what ??? seriously ??? since when is that a rule ?
Spoetnik: please do tell what the rules are Mullick ;)
Mullick: well you said fuck you thats against the rules
Spoetnik: i was called a douche here..
Mullick: Did i see it?
Spoetnik: i never heard that was a rule dude
Spoetnik: i don;t apreciate being called names
Spoetnik: that is why i said that now im gonna get banned ? sure ..what ever lol
Mullick: well its sorta common sense rules
Spoetnik: thanks for warning him ;)
Spoetnik: nice how peopel are free to take a swing at me freely when ever they want and if i reply back i get threatened ..every time lol
Mullick: I didnt even notice he said duesch my bad
Spoetnik: it's spots trolling 101
MaGNeT: @Spoetnik: he didn't call you a douche, he asked you not to be a douche.
MaGNeT: tucksmcgucks: @Spoetnik: don't be a douche, I was asking you because I need help
Spoetnik: the other guy prob has one hell of huge smile right now ;)
Mullick: But it was a missunderstanding that caused the reaction lets just drop it
moonshinekiller: I love cent
MaGNeT: @moonshinekiller: CENT rules _O_
Spoetnik: after you jump on my back ya i guess im teh little bitch with teh ban hammer swing ing in my face so what choice do i have.. yeeees master
Spoetnik: by teh way wtf was taht crap you posted at me earlier anyway ?
Spoetnik: insulting..
MaGNeT: @Spoetnik: I hope you don't become a douche.
Mullick: @Spoetnik: http://workforcrypto.com/?job=be-nice-to-you-for-a-day
Mullick: That?
Spoetnik: fuck this shit i don't want to deal with you guys ..
Spoetnik: bye
Mullick: Its a joke. Spots posted a job for $5 he will be nice to someone. I asked if i bought one for you if he would honor it and he agreed
MaGNeT: @Spoetnik: have a nice day :)

It'd be interesting to see a REAL Bitcoin Scrypt chain where NOTHING is changed except SHA256 -> Scrypt. I'm sorry, but this isn't it.

That wouldn't really be interesting at all, and in fact would pretty much be an awful idea. Lots has changed since bitcoin was launched, and diff re-targets like that have been proven to be terrible for new coins time and again.

Hope it go up to market soon.  ;D

can't sync

can't sync

I have the same Problem. Only one Connection to the Network.

addnode=82.196.3.83

Try to add my pool IP to your config file:


http://btc2.cryptominer.net/

:)


EDIT:

"The new SeedNode for Bitcoin Scrypt is live please add addnode=31.193.130.77 to your client config file. This week the other two VPS seed nodes will be going offline and this new more powerful cloud server will take over."

New Bitcoin sCrypt client with changed roaming folder! It will no longer interfere with your Bitcoin folder!

http://bitcoinscrypt.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Bitcoin24-150x150.png

https://www.dropbox.com/s/5f19l5fnh8hdyzk/Bitcoin_Scrypt_Version_1.2.rar

- start the client, let it sync
- shutdown client
- copy or move your old Bitcoin sCrypt (BTC2) wallet.dat to the new Bitcoin-sCrypt folder.
- start client again, coins should now show up again!

I think it's ready for a real exchange now!

Mine at http://btc2.cryptominer.net

A new dev, Smokeasy, fixed the client and made the following changes:

1.  Fixed issue with blockchain download so now downloads entire blockchain from scratch.
2.  Changed the AppData directory so no more interference with Bitcoin SHA256 client or wallet.
3.  Added seednode to the code to resolve connectivity issues.
4.  Added checkpoints in the code to the 0, 11111, 33333, 55555 and 60000 blocks.
5.  Fixed gitian yml files so now gitian builds can get up and running with minimal debugging.
6.  Created gitian build instructions for Windows client.
7.  Provided his file checksum hashes for input and binary files built with gitian. (https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/2966-bitcoin-scrypt-v120-source-code-and-compile-instructions-for-linux-and-windows/)
8.  Enabled QR code generator, Windows Installer and daemon when doing the gitian build.
9.  Changed the logo to reflect Bitcoin sCrypt instead of Bitcoin 2.

Bitcoin sCrypt is on an exchange now :)

https://openex.pw/index.php?page=trade&market=8

"The Server was hacked. Bitcoin wallet was stolen.
do not deposit any more bitcoins.
please withdraw the rest of your coins for details on the hack see"

...

OpenEx exchange is back. Glad to see this coin on the exchange again!

Hashrate is going NUTS!

http://btc2.cryptominer.net

Holy cow...

Those buy orders on OpenEx are at a high price!
Nice to see this coin is worth a lot.  Super profitable to mine right now, glad I have been.

The diff is so low right now :O And the price in OpenEx is really high, really very profitable atm lol

Is that pool on dial up?slower than hell

Where can I buy this coin? Anyone want to sell some?

How come I haven't heard about it until now?

edit: wtf it was censored?

im on this coin now!
saw it on mintpal, decided to look it up.
love the concept and gonna mine this for a while.

It's going up in the votes very quick!

Nice hashrate :)

http://btc2.cryptominer.net/index.php?page=statistics&action=pool

Hi,

Would this coin be interested in a pool offered by LeetPools?

Here is an example of one of the DDOS protected mining pools we run:

http://ultra.leetpools.com

seems like you guys could use some extra mining pool infrastructure :)

Having issues downloading the windows wallet (which I guess is irrelevant if there is nowhere to trade this coin).

ASIC's for scrypt are already on market. So what the real difference from the original Bitcoin?
It is NOT "Minable By Anyone".

Having issues downloading the windows wallet (which I guess is irrelevant if there is nowhere to trade this coin).

Somebody is trying to get the price down on CrytoRush, selling 1 BTCs at the time for a real low price:

ok got my fill.

imo this ones a no brainer, if it gets on a bigger exchange it'll fly :)

Why did both the pools I am mining stop finding blocks about an hour ago?

Edit: Must have just been the luck, broken-arrow just found one. Yay!

Edit Edit: Or hmmm it looks like difficulty just reset?

why is this thread only 5 pages long? I am confused.

That's when you want to start selling ;) !

cryptorush is down. possible attack ahead of BTC2 getting added on mintpal.

Nah, it just crashes a LOT. Hate that exchange but it is a necessary evil in my eyes.

You couldn't withdraw BTC from there yesterday, cryptorush scares me.

yes you are right, its back up again. I can't wait for mintpal to see how the market prices this coin.

I just did the most risky thing I could ever do and went all in.
Drove the price up and people are still buying. BUY BUY BUY! :)

I mined this coin back in September. I said to myself i at lease need to grab some early encase it ever takes off, well this looks like its taking off to me. We can have our very own BTC all over again. No way am i selling for cheap

What price are you all going to sell at, or is HODL the name of the game?

That wouldn't really be interesting at all, and in fact would pretty much be an awful idea. Lots has changed since bitcoin was launched, and diff re-targets like that have been proven to be terrible for new coins time and again.

Where are ALL the pools?

try also this addnodes:

addnode=162.243.132.168
addnode=192.241.159.88
addnode=cryptominer.net

Is this coin profitable to mine? I'd only make about 5 coins a day that means $3.75, with electricity bills and all, I'd be paying to mine this coin. Is this right?

Is this coin profitable to mine? I'd only make about 5 coins a day that means $3.75, with electricity bills and all, I'd be paying to mine this coin. Is this right?

the difficulty is retargeting every block.......

Depends on the Exchange rate ;)

btc2.cryptominer.net can't handle all the connections the diff is going through the roof. At one point I saw 50 ghash and over 2000 diff.

i'm not but really your problem is so basic it's like asking on a forum how do i search on google...

so anyway guys what do you feel the prospects long term are for this coin?

whats the development team/support community like? I find if they are poor then that can kill a coin.

Unlike MintCoin, Earthcoin, etc it's not highly promoted "to the moon" by a promotional/development team.
I think that's the strenght of Bitcoin sCrypt: almost everything comes from the growing strength of the community.

Bitcoin didn't have a developer after Satoshi left it. But it got picked up by a growing community.

Nothing beats a strong community.

anyone know why the wallet doesnt have any active connections
?

best regards

predicitions for what will happen to the price once this goes on mintpal?

i dunno i mean the price seems to be crashing hard

i dunno i mean the price seems to be crashing hard

Sorry but isn't there already a scrypt bitcoin... its called litecoin? What makes this different from that, or from any of the other 10000 alt coins out there?

WTF with this coin

Someone can explain me?  :o

you reckon it will hit $2 a coin on mintpal at some point later?

There are ASICs for sCrypt coming soon. Has Bitcoin-2 defense against them?
I see the only decision in ASICs problem - integrate dependency of time for generating coin. If there will be no difference between generating 1 coin on quick ASIC and slow CPU because of needed the same time - then it would be meaningless ASIC invention in principle.

http://theotherbitcoin.com/ (http://theotherbitcoin.com/)

A VTC copy?

If someone looking for open pool since http://btc2.cryptominer.net/ is closed for new miners this one is open and works great.

A VTC copy?

How can it go from 16 to 1k diff in one hour lol.  Happy I start mining 24 hours ago.

yeah something definitely is wrong with difficult.

Yes, the dev said it would change the algo if and when scrypt ASICs hit.

Yes, the dev said it would change the algo if and when scrypt ASICs hit.

The difficulty never got above 1 for the first 80000 blocks. couple ppl gettin mighty rich off this coin

a few people is getting rich... no innovation or no creative things... only a pump and huge dump... i am sorry fot lately investors.

Decentralized Development – We now embark upon the final phase of our Decentralization Project by incorporating the third leg of the decentralization stool:  “decentralized development.”  By utilizing a decentralized proof-of-stake voting system we empower Bitcoin sCrypt stakeholders by democratizing development through Vanity Voting.  With that, below please find our proposed roadmap to decentralize development.

 

Decentralizing Development through Democratization

I have developed a proposed plan-of-action to transition Bitcoin sCrypt from a developer-driven project to a community-driven project.  I present this plan to the community for your feedback before we put this plan into action.

Proposed Roadmap

Housekeeping Votes
Vote on whether to keep current logo or hold logo contest
Vote on whether to keep current AppData directory or revert back to old directory
Vote on official currency code (i.e., BTCS, BTC, BTX, etc…)
Logo Contest Vote (if community desires, as per item 1.A)
Creation of Guiding Counsel or Foundation for Bitcoin sCrypt
Vote as to whether to create in first place
Vote as to formation or operating rules (i.e., top-down model? Anarchist-model?  None at all? Supermajority to implement/change?, etc…)
Vote on rules re voting
Elections for positions on guiding counsel /foundation
Direct votes on the incorporation of certain technical features to the client and/or protocol.
Vote on whether to change mining algo once scrypt asic miners enter scene en masse
Vote on whether to incorporate Zerocoin anonymity features once/if it’s released
Vote on whether to change the difficulty retarget algo to make it less volatile and/or more profit-pool switching resistant.
Votes on the inclusion of other features as they arise.
A few notes:

I wanted to begin with the housekeeping votes because I want the community to have a say in the issues that I unilaterally changed when I developed v.1.2.0.0.  The community should decide all development features, even those in the past.
The order for the remaining items will be up to the community, as my list is simply a proposal.
Certain votes, such as rules for formation/operation of foundation/counsel could be set up to require a super-majority (e.g., 60%, 66%, 75%) to change or implement.
As the Vanity Voting process grows, we are willing to add or change proposed voting items and would even consider meta-votes (e.g., votes on what to vote for next) if that’s what the community wants.
Votes could occur once every two-weeks, with votes announced on a Monday.  Voting deadlines could be scheduled for Fridays, with run-offs, if any, occurring on Sunday.
Again, like all things Bitcoin sCrypt, we want this to be a community-driven effort and we look forward to all of your feedback, comments and concerns regarding our plan to be the first cryptographic currency to decentralize development through democratization.

We would like to spend a couple of weeks fine-tuning this plan with the community before the actual voting process and we look forward to your thoughts.

lolololol
a Newbie ???  .. nice god damn try i have talked to him lots and so have all of you so don't you god damn dare play dumb.

i never said shit to that guy he called me a douche so i told him to fiuck off.. i was warned and threatened with a ban and he was ignored 100%

yes please do read that chat log i agree it says it all..

cut the crap.. that guy is no noob and he knew damn well what he was doing and he is smart enough to know i had no answer to his question and asked anyway..
he is one of 3 or 4 guys who regularly start shit with me... not a newb as your implying but a TROLL REGULAR

you people are manipulative slimy pricks you screw with people to lure them into shit and then play dumb.. i have seen it a million times
and i have had people troll me there randomly out of the blue lots and over and over mods say oh sorry i didn't see anything the other guy said..
that is not a one time occurrence........

i can get a number of people and logs myself showing this exact thing repeating before and i stand behind ever word i said 1000%
and i also am done with you mouthy brats, trolls and power ban ban happy loosers (let see how smug you are when you lost your power when Shytsy is shut down lol)

it only me ? well tell that to the other guys you insiders are fucking around like Zack..
Your little Skype backroom clan of buddies spreading pump and dump coins and trashing on anyone that complains is obvious to many of us
and many other people have said all ths same things i have a million times and guess what guys we have our own group and we trade info too ;)
I have some rather interesting (proof) to this too and i am stock piling it all to tear you little scammers off your cocky perch

so ya please do play dumb all you want and please do post more chat logs or maybe i should, i have millions of them ;)

wow i hope the early retard dump ends so it can start climbing to the moon.

I guess the main goal is 1 BTC = 1 BTCs that would be crazy, and maybe crazy enough to happen?

It now hovers around 0.001 which isn't bad, it's a nice and a little controversial coin. I can see it rise to the top.

Fucking idiots selling lower and lower, throwing your coins away, could just wait till it hits 1$.
Cheap coins for me though!

we need bitcoin for other algo too

i want bitcoin x11

we need bitcoin for other algo too

i want bitcoin x11

right now on a single 290x card its taken me all evening to get only 0.4btcs , the price is too low, theres no profit in this.

You sound like its 2011 and BTC is $0.10

can someone help, i can't sync my wallet

addnode=31.193.130.77
addnode=37.59.0.211:30201
addnode=162.243.132.168
addnode=192.241.159.88

Is there a math equation to figure out the diff or the average diff of this coin?

Dont even bother. Pump and dump... I was gonna mine this but then the value tanked in half.

You think people would of learned from bitcoin #1...This coin is going right back up :P

and then right back down

Who cares, cheap coins for me!!!!!
 

over-priced trash coins...

Lmfao the old bitcoin days, Fuck people are stupid for selling, I bought all I could low, now I wait for the dump to end and sell high!!! :)

Is there a math equation to figure out the diff or the average diff of this coin?

It needs changes in automatic payout threshold and it tax.

I think that only crashing of btc2.cryptominer.net is stopping the progress. We need more stable pools!

You have to push for someone like overstock.com to take this coin and someone needs to take 20 BTC and buy up most of whats on crypto rush forcing a change in price this coin will die very soon if someone does not, I wish I could be the person to do so.

hate to say it guys but what exactly makes this coin unique? a look at how fast it's sinking on mintpal suggests it's dying fast.

fair enough good arguements but what is it that makes this coin unique?

are you new to trading? you do realize that BTCS is really volatile and just started trading on mintpal? extreme price fluctuations are to be expected.

BTCS was never dead. that btc2.cryptominer.net pool has been open since launch and anyone could have mined thousands of BTCS up until a few days ago.

It sounds like you are mad or something, did you miss the train? I sure didn't.

haha, look I didnt miss the train, I have a few BTCS however I don't really see evidence of much of a community like you are advocating, I mean look how many pages this thread has, then look at the heavycoin thread. I am only looking to find out what is unique about this coin and nobody can seem to give me a rational answer, the community isn't an answer, I mean is the coin asic resistant etc? also whilst I expect volatility especially early in trading, the lack of buy orders is quite staggering.

The community is not here because it was banned here.  There is a large community for this coin over at cryptocointalk, go take a look.  there is a whole dedicated forum not just 1 busy thread. The coin is dedicated to remaining asic resistant and the community is already planning a vote with its is decentralized voting system about changing the algorithm.  

fair enough good arguements but what is it that makes this coin unique?

What's going on with the coin? http://btc2.cryptominer.net/ hasn't found a block in a long time (usually finds one every minute or so) and my wallet also won't sync. Something is up with the blockchain...

High diff and no luck finding a block, happened yesterday too. Nothing wrong with the blockchain.
The diff algo is a bit too responsive, "2 block diff change". I think we need something like KGW.

Update: you see? They found blocks again  :)

This coin needs protection from asics miners... All alt coins without resistance will go down the drain, ltc might survive.

Price is going up again see mintpal, 1 BTC = 1BTCs here we come! _{I want to believe..}

Why? Isn't scypt asic just the next logical step. Won't be long before cheap 1mhs+ asics will be available. Less people mining = more people buying instead?

If that's the way you feel, I won't bother convincing you anything else.  :-*

Won't be long before cheap 1mhs+ asics will be available.

?
I just asked a question: why do you think it should be protected from ASICs?

This is not a feeling, just reallity their are already many scrypt asics outthere and more to come. Not my fault  :P

For the same reason Litecoin was created to begin with. You are basically asking why scrypt coins was created beside bitcoin. A fairer distribution.

True.
And by "blockchain voting" we can vote for what algo we want for Bitcoin sCrypt, in a hardfork. Blockchain voting offers great possibilities.

For now, I like the low prices and slowly dump my other alts for more BCTs. I really regret I didn't buy more 10 days ago, at 0.000062 BTC.

If only I had some BTC to buy more BTCs while the price is still low.. :-\

seriously ?

and you guys have been bumping this super old shit last few weeks why ?
woudln't have anything to do with Scrypt asics looming now would it ?

utterly retarded bs .

 :D These guy's bought magnets stack of 1mil  at 0.001 and are bagholders hoping for the price to rise  ;D

seriously ?

I think it's a great coin for you.
I know you hate pre-mines, well, this coin wasn't pre-mined :)

And the "blockchain voting" will be a great feature when it comes to making big decisions for the coin, like changing the algo.

weird, cant sync properly. added note using v1.2 wallet. got all the blocks but wallet says (out of sync). did the add note (latest) & connected to 6 peers too. pc time is correct too. any help ? many thx

At what blockcount are you?
Sometimes pools don't find a block and client says "it's out of sync" while it isn't.

this coin wasnt premined, it was just mined by the only few ppl who knew about it for 6 months, lol, the ultimate premine.
i ran into this coin about 4 months ago, it had 1 pool and maybe 3 people mining with 1 ati 7850 each, and they have so many coins its a joke this got on an exchange, unless this was a newer release

This is nice. Going on almost 9 hours without a block now. Blockchain explorer went down a few hours ago as well.

There is a mirror block explorer at
http://blocks.btcs.pw

I really wish people would consider that one the main explorer instead of http://blocks.btc2.pw because it is more reliable .. the other one has an issue with boost that I have never fully resolved.  

http://blocks.btc2.pw is back up.  If you ever notice it down, you can PM me and I'll fix it asap.

anyone know where the giant net hash rate is coming from... all the mining pools I can find are only up to 100 m/hash and going on 24hrs without a block is crazy  

I was also wondering the same. No popular pools have that much of volume and the network hashrate is 2700 MH/s

anyone know where the giant net hash rate is coming from... all the mining pools I can find are only up to 100 m/hash and going on 24hrs without a block is crazy 

0.00013077 BTC is a long way from 1 BTCs = 1 BTC  8)

Is anyone even promoting this coin? Looks abandonded by the dev(s), it's a shame because it has potential.

just waiting for the new client release and the hard fork update  :)

Wallet no sync!!!!!!

Hi all,

Lot`s of action on the forum https://cryptocointalk.com/forum/411-bitcoin-scrypt-btc/
They are thinking about going Pos, and want too vote about it.

Why is this coin on the AltCoinCalendar https://www.altcoincalendar.info/coins/473-BTCS (https://www.altcoincalendar.info/coins/473-BTCS) as being release on May 11th, 2014

Its cool if its not but just another confusing illogical happening in the world of cryptocurr.  What am I missing here...?
 
THanks,

Hello BTCS devs, I just thought I would mention something.. I am a supporter of this coin, and hold a pretty decent bag, but I think one of the reasons the coin is being overlooked is due to the fact that the thread is hosted on the alternative forum. I understand why this was necessary, but it has put the coin community in a backwater.

I used to visit the thread often to get the days updates, but due to the way the forum is organised, you cannot easily find out the latest info. It's all over the place. It is such a hassle that even I have given up trying to search it out. I just don't bother anymore, and this coin means something financially to me...

On this site the latest updates are just right there on 1 page. In a minute you know what is happening. I have seen other people posting here thinking the coin is dead. The other thread is doing you a bigger disservice than you realise.

Even though it would be a hassle, and you might have emotional reasons not to make the switch, I think you should move the thread here. It's where everybody hangs out, whether you get that or not. The coin is going down the gurgler guys. Hiding it in a difficult to use backwater ain't going to help it much!

Just a thought... In case this has been overlooked.

Yes, cmon devs, the time for action is now. BTCS is critical right now as it's being delisted from MP.

Good time for a press release or something.

The pool needs some tweaking!!

Whether we move to pure Proof-of-Stake, or a hybrid Proof-of-Stake/Proof-of-Work or remain pure Proof-of-Work, will be decided by vote of coinholders once the decentralized blockchain voting application is released.

Has anybody compiled the latest wallet v.1.3.3 for Windows?

Without the wallet how is anybody supposed to send coins to an exchange to trade them?

Here you can buy Bitcoin-scrypt (BTCS) by Bitcoin (BTC)

https://www.allcrypt.com/market?id=145
https://comkort.com/market/trade/btcs_btc
https://cryptoine.com/trade/btcs_btc

Ok

send me 0.001 BTC to this address: 1EEXFYQVR3CXeXAjjjKkkkYiEdhTMmSUpx

and I will send you 247 BTCS

put your address BTCS

if you look better, Bitcoin-scrypt does not allow Network H / s above 300 mhs, since the difficulty would go through the roof. This form provides an opportunity for anyone with a CPU or GPU to mine.

www . multifaucet . tk / index.php?blockexplorer=BTCS
http://weminebtcs.com/index.php?page=statistics&action=pool

However as soon as the voting eleven client is completed

we'll decide whether to move over to full-POS, hybrid-POS or remain POW.
