Title: [UPDATE] Bitcoin sCrypt Developments Post by: Smokeasy on August 07, 2014, 04:30:07 PM All,
We wanted to provide a quick update concerning BTCS exchange listings and an update on the development of our decentralized blockchain voting application. AFOAF reached out to the exchanges that recently de-listed BTCS due to low trading volume and asked whether they would re-list BTCS again if volume and interest increased: two responses were positive and the other was enlightening. Low Volume Both Poloniex and C-Cex indicated that they would re-list BTCS if trading volume increased sufficiently. In light of this, the upcoming release of the decentralized block-chain voting application gives us the perfect opportunity to get re-listed by increasing interest and demand for Bitcoin sCrypt as the first coin to democratize development through block-chain voting. Coin Code Confusion Interestingly, however, Mintpal stated that they probably would not re-list BTCS because "[a]long with the low volume, a lot of users got confused by the coin code [BTCS] as it was too similar to BTC." I personally know of a few users who sent BTCS to Mintpal's BTC address and vice-versa. While the funds were eventually recovered because the wallets are cross-compatible, it created a headache for the exchange so it's understandable why they would be hesitant to re-list BTCS. After I took over development from the original coin developer (Omega6), I unilaterally changed the Bitcoin sCrypt AppData directory so that it no longer conflicted with the Bitcoin SHA256 AppData folder and confused users. Similarly, in response to Mintpal we want to change the coin code in the next client update to eliminate confusion but fought the urge to unilaterally change the coin code this time because of our commitment to shifting coin development decisions from developers to the community through block-chain voting. As such, we will expand the initial set of housekeeping votes to include a vote on whether to change the coin code from BTCS to something less confusing. This housekeeping voting item is slated for after our initial vote on whether to change the logo. Blockchain Voting Update Finally, we wanted to provide an update regarding our development of the decentralized block-chain voting application. We have completed Phase 1 of alpha-testing and are beginning internal testing of the voting client for Phase 2, and anticipate expanding Phase 2 to the alpha-testing user base shortly. ~Smokeasy Original Whitepaper on decentralizing development through block-chain voting can be found here: https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/3449-decentralizing-development-through-vanity-voting/?p=30684 Title: Re: [UPDATE] Bitcoin sCrypt Developments Post by: chisefu on August 13, 2014, 09:42:12 AM I think I may be the last running btcs pool at http://btc2.chickenstrips.net
This kind of stinks because there's no exchanges left, so if you do need support in forking the coin to another code like BSCPT or something let me know I can update the pool. The only thing about the coin that irks me a bit is the way it calculates confirmed and unconfirmed coins. The pool can't tell the difference for some reason, so the coins have to confirm completely before I can pay out, requiring me to hold a float of coins to pay out normally. This is really annoying because if some asic super miner comes by and grabs 10k coins, I get all the hatemail calling me a scammer and they won't wait until the coins confirm.

Is the latest wallet still 1.3.3.0? Do you have plans for the coin outside of changing coin code? Too bad this is necessary, end users are always such idiots. PEBCAK Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard If the hash is dying maybe a switch to pos might work as a way to keep the blockchain moving? This is an old coin thus making the opportunity for survival even higher. With the influx of scams or the next Xx algo with "insert buzzword here" people are looking at the older coins again.
