BitMiles (BTMi)
 
BitMiles (BTMi) - the official cryptogenic equivalence of frequent-flyer miles (which is known to be more valuable than money). BitMiles can be used as a means of exchange and a store of value (very much the same as your traditional flyer miles).
 
Our plan with BitMiles is simple - real world use and business adoption !
We aim to grow BitMiles into becoming the preferred (cryptogenic) ffm alterative, globally
BitMiles will not be strapped down to a specific airline (can be used with/by any airlines that choose to partner with, and adopt the BitMiles program
BitMiles holders will eventually (our aim) be able to redeem their BitMiles for air travel, air travel discounts (such as lounge access, class upgrades and additional benefits), and everyday goods and services (groceries/restaurants) - similar to your traditional ffm
Unlike your traditional ffm, BitMiles will be non-unidirectional - allowing the back and forth exchange from BitMiles to/from fiat currency (meaning that you can buy/sell BitMiles without any hassle)
BitMiles may be distributed by CC companies (as well as any other BitMiles partners) as an incentive - allowing you to obtain BitMiles (without having to participate in the actual mining thereof)

SPECIFICATIONS

Algorithm:  Scrypt POW (N=1024, r=1, p=1)
0 transaction fees
60 Second block target (1440 P/Day)
6 confirmations needed for transaction
Coinbase maturity = 120 - allowing spending only after 1hr30min
Difficulty retargets once per block (Using DigiShield for protection against multi-pools and an over-inflation)

Halving (/2) will start on block 1051200 and end on block 4204800
Mining operations will cease after year 8 (linear designed production of 4.83b)
 
BLOCK REWARDS

0 - 5 = Premine of 0.08% for further development, bounties, promotion, giveaways, and payments (incentive based distribution)
6 - 120 = 0 miles p/block (giving miners 2 hours to set up equipment)
121 - 44640 = 500 miles p/block (low starting block reward to prevent pump/dump)

Hi Shadow_Runner

Thanks for pointing this out. Fixed !! :D

:D already working on the pools. exchanges will also follow. Stick around .. this is going to be well worth it !

Pools Where?

池子池子

good luck for this, I'll keep following your coin..., :D

Block time?

Thanks so much!  ;D

Pools?

60 Sec. 1440 P/day

We are in contact with a few potential Pool ops. Please keep an eye on our OP.

http://suchpool.pw/btmi (http://suchpool.pw/btmi) up, please add to pools list

Thanks a million  ;D Awesome !! Adding to OP now

Looks like an OK coin, dev you may want to consider destroying some of that premine

http://btmi.coin-miners.info/ is up and running  ;) , dev can you please add my pool to pool list  ;)

Done! Thanks so much  :)

I encrypted my wallet and now it won't let me unlock it at all?

Did you type the wallet unlock command in the debug window?

From the Menu Selections choose Help -> Debug
When the debug window pops up click on the 'Console' tab. Then enter the wallet unlock command.


walletpassphrase <passphrase> <timeout>

The above steps unlock my wallet so it does unlock after being encrypted.

Looks interesting.

Will we be able to fly wit these coins? ;D

I don't think my flying agency will accept it...

Hi, so you are getting a passphrase error (I assume) ? have you by any chance misspelled perhaps ?

no there just isn't an option that says unlock wallet lol

Hi cakir,

One of our primary goals are to have BTMi accepted as an ffm alternative (by any partner airline, hotel, travel agency, cc company, etc etc) and to be used in the same way that your traditional ffm is used (see our short introduction). We have a full marketing schedule which also involves reaching out to airlines. cc companies and other relevant potential 'adopters'.

 :) Thanks TimC

There is no walletunlock in the debug code

The unlock command is....
walletpassphrase <passphrase> <timeout>

example:
walletpassphrase MySecRetPhrasE 99999999

to lock the wallet you type....
walletlock

Thanks that worked appreciate that mate

Huge Premine = 48000000! ! ! !
CAPE taken only the first month of the whole 22,320,000! ! !
I'm gone!

I like the long-term PoW block rewards involved. Get the miner pump/dump out of the way in the first year, then introduce merge-mineability with LTC, DOGE, SYS, etc. to guarantee a certain level of nethash. This will allow you to use a long-term history of network stability as a selling point to build relationships with airlines and BTMI reward offerers.

Develop proper contracts for merchant adoption and I think you'll have a good shot at wide scale cryptocurrency distribution amongst public users. I've thought for awhile now that a good way for cryptocurrency to achieve a new level of mass market penetration would be to use it as market-tradeable reward points/miles, and fund that through merchant programs.

To achieve market penetration on the same level as Air Miles and Aeroplan etc., you'll have a long road ahead of you, but it would definitely be doable with a clear plan. For merchant partnerships, I would approach NewEgg, Dell, and anyone else who is accepting Bitcoin as a medium of purchase. Lots of purveyors of digital goods will begin to accept BTC over 2015; as soon as you see a company in the news who's begun accepting BTC, hit them up for a BitMiles partnership.

Looking forward to your whitepaper, and mining in the meantime.

Shares some hashes over here ;)

Hi TimC,

my bad. completely skipped my mind. will do a giveaway over on the CCT forum and then post back here  ;D

thanks for the save !

No problem. Thanks for the 20k coins! I was going to say something about CCT but I see you are already there.

DEV,
Yeah you'd better burn most of the 48.3 Million pre-mine (like 98% of it)
or the coin will fail. These days you can't take 1% of an 8 year mining supply.
Do some math. No one is going to mine it with you holding 48.3 Million over their heads.

yeah that is a ridiculous premine man.

no comment huh? mk well im out

Link to giveaway please?

http://btmi.binpool.com/ - pool launch

Added to OP. Thanks so much!

Added  :) Thanks so much!

Yup. I'm out.

bitmiles https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=892298.0

Heritage: LTC 0.6.9ish, piggycoin template(https://github.com/piggycoin/piggycoin)

Problems:

* EXTREME: Premine is extremely excessive and will be more than the network will mint for over 2 years
** The premine being expressed as a percentage of the supply is deceiving, given that the full supply takes decades to mint
** See https://gist.github.com/Earlz/de3cc5f6ee85c7a69d53 to properly destroy a portion of this excessive premine

* MODERATE: genesis seed is not a news event

Notes:

Watermarks: uint64, pow, unknown

This look like a really interesting coin, especially as we travel, well my family does.  :)

a portion of the premine will be destroyed later today and details will be posted here. there will also be a giveaway over @ CCT.

Way too much, kill the premine now

wow  :o

Dev is going to burn a lot of the premine. Wait for his post.

Thanks jimlite  :) that is correct ! we will be posting back here shortly.

How much of premine is going to be burned?

Dev did not destroy the integrity of any premine,
Everyone game is over, all go!

Hi wisnon,

the premine burn is happening (within the next hour actually). there was a slight delay as the exact figures were discussed with a few guys (guys that have been dealing with such things for a long time). now that we have the figures, we will proceed. game may be over for you, but we are just getting started !

earlz will be confirming the burn shortly  ;D

Burn is officially done ! The total held is now only 0.08% (4.3 mil) to be used for

Bounty program (wallets, tip bots, branding packs, personalized features, nodes, pools, further development on wallet, site etc)
Social media and marketing (social media likes/shares/tweets/retweets/blog posts/pr/exchange votes (unlimited)/etc)
Faucets and giveaways

earlz will be confirming the burn shortly ! Total burned = 45654950

About 45 million coins have been DESTROYED of the premine. This occurred in transaction d6ab6f201c62c2a73981fc6f981a80742d552408bc70d53df30254a1e67a2727. This drops the premine down to a much more reasonable 5 million coins, which while still somewhat large, is no longer years worth of mining.

For reference, here is the transaction details. You can confirm that they were destroyed by the last vout of ~45 million being used for this transaction script: ""asm" : "OP_DUP OP_HASH160 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 OP_EQUALVERIFY OP_CHECKSIG"," the long string of 0s means it is provably impossible to generate a public key matching this to spend the funds, and the funds are provably DESTROYED.

Nice work dev, and thanks again Earlz.

It is a nice concept. Interested to see if they can get some interest and acceptance. I will mine it for now.  8)

Is it tradeable on a site yet? I don't have time to download more stuff to read right now lol sorry but I've been up to my ears in researching coins and possible prospects to start my New Year off with a BANG!!!

Hmm interesting coin. I do love to travel. I also like the fact it's not a newbie account, that's always a + in my book.

White paper is must in order to take care of future aspects.

We are working on this  ;) ! Hang around  ;D

well I dont really have a choice Ive got a bunch of your coins lol

Thanks @datadev

Looked interesting until i saw:


 :(

Too honest.

I'm sorry .. too honest ? 

PoW is way too long for a decent pump + you need big blockrewards in the beginning (for the instamine) and lower them afterwards. This is the other way around.

Project itself is looking good, but I don't really like the mining scheme.

Did anyone scan the wallet? Great looking coin btw. ;) 8)

You need us to vote on any exchange or make requests? ???

if you want on bittrex dev needs to go talk with them in IRC, thats the word on the street anyway.

Please do ☺ you are most welcome to make requests. See our white paper

Yep that's what he told me when I kept harassing him to put SpreadCoin on the site

Alright ☺ Round 1 will be coming to a close soon ! We have (at this very post) only 16 spots remaining. Get your BitMiles now ...

downloaded and here is my addy : bEA3E9UAkFr4p8f1gjqQTWC95mkWKtYiqR :)

Done ! Enjoy  ;)

A coin that was launched 3 days ago and is a clear (and I mean very damn clear) pump and dump was added to bittrex because the people made an actual request via IRC or email. So that's all BTMi needs. Preferably a request made from the dev

Done :)
Here's my address : bPLBZzMs4TAg7Phf4biCB8HeP3m9JvvCtD !
Thanks in advance :D

Done  :) Enjoy ! and don't forget to spread the love

Yes thanks again for the coins mate :) And may I suggest getting ahold of Richie at bittrex about getting added to the exchange because he likes when Devs ask him themselves and as always I will tweet all about this coin to them as well ;)

Thanks a lot!
I will, I swear haha :D

You are most welcome ! I have already done so ;) Will keep you guys posted.

Done  :-*
Here my address : bPvjx9HWCaAkCmGxpMZQjKkBr43QRNxnB6
Thanks bro :)

Awesome work I appreciate that my friend :)

Can't wait  ;D

Start trading away  ;)

Congrats on your first exchange. If everyone goes and trades there, other exchanges will notice.

Thanks so much !  :) We have been in touch with several other exchanges. Hoping to have some feedback this week. While waiting, we will be working on a few needed things (from our bounty list). We will also be reaching out to a few airlines and such this coming week.

Welcome to C-CEX!

Awesome !!!! Thanks so much, C-CEX !!!!  :)

@BTMi Community ... Let's Fly & Buy !! (links added to OP)

BTMI has been added to bittrex https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-BTMI  ;)

Well damn!  Glad I've been racking up these coins  ;D :D

3 exchanges in a day ! BTMi steering towards something good ! we have LOADS of plans with BTMi over the next couple of weeks.

OP updated !  :)

Great concept!!!! Strange nobody came up with this earlier... :o

I'm a frequent travel having Miles and More as my primary programme but would love to see this coin in the future.

Really really nice idea!!!!  8)

P.S. It would be good to partner maybe with GHA (Global Hotel Alliance)?

Network Hashrate just jumped to 3.6GH  :D

the premise of existing airlines accepting this token as payment is really unlikely from my perspective.  I wish that pretense didn't have to be there to convince people to invest.  But exchanges are getting behind it so maybe it will be a good one to speculate on.

Congrats on getting launched on Bittrex boys :) Good fortune and good luck to this cause and this coin :)

Kinda wish I had a couple more days to mine before people started jumping on...I was loving that difficulty of 8  ::)

Need some BTMi ? We need a block explorer (and a few other things). Score some generous BitMiles for helping us. See our bounty program here : http://goo.gl/bLmOJU to see what all we need. Thanks

Hi Guys

BitMiles needs a branding pack ! Are you creative enough to score yourself 100, 000 BTMi ? Competition here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=903549 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=903549)

Enjoy !  :)

Wow, impressed getting Bittrex already.

Network hashrate standing on 4.2GH  :)

Nice!

Been getting crazy over on C-Cex!

https://i.imgur.com/2GhOi4s.png


Hope you guys have been getting in  :D

Congrats. Lets hope it continues to see success and gets airline adoption.

hahaha price so cheap! :o i have been buying for the last 2 days! ::)
This coin has a very nice potential and it's concept is great!!!!!

Have a Merry Xmas everyone!

Fully agree. Maybe If I can get a payment out of LTC Gear I can buy some. LOL

I jumped off this flight as soon as I saw the premine, but I did love your gist there earlz

The dev destroyed most of the premine already... ???

Not really, the premine is already destroyed

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=892298.msg9843749#msg9843749



It is recommended if the dev would post earlz comment at the op to avoid any further confusion.

Thanks! added to OP  :)

From the BitMiles team - we would like to wish all our community members a very merry xmas and a season of blessings from above ! Happy mining  :)

Still, there is a premine there even if some of it *was* destroyed. I have yet to hear good reasoning (besides scammy excuses) as to why a premine is ever really necessary now. Ditto for IPO's.

Picked up a few on Bittrex :)

Yeah, but that is tiny!  I've mined 500k myself in just a few days.  Hardly obnoxious and they have already been paying out for bounties.  I really don't see the issue  ???

It is a very tiny bit. They have destroyed the majority of the primed coins and using the remaing small tiny bit that left for hosting, giveaways, etc... see no issue here. Please close this topic as it's no point to drag it anymore.

As soon as I read the algo is Scrypt ,I decide to quit  ;D ;D ;D

Sorry, I don't take advice from noobs with a post count of 4. (Let the sock puppetry begin)

My statement still stands.  While I agree that premines and ICO's are in general pretty scammy things to do, there simply isn't enough there to be much of a scam

Good. Let's stick to the current financial system and just like governments make money appear out of thin air.

It wasn't an advice but a statement. You don't like it no one is asking you to stay. There is 300+ other coins. Have fun.

hurry up and pump this dirt to 100 so I can never think about it again.  thank you

another Scrypt scrap  ;D

lol, pretty much sums it up.

for all of you that think this piece of software will one day be at the pinnacle of aviations customer satisfaction: wont happen because there will never be demand from the aviation industry since frequent flyer miles are nothing more than the result of a calculation that can be done with a calculator and as such has long and wide been integrated into existing systems.

Also, frequent flyer miles are non-transferrable. Think about that.

Then move along  ;)

Perhaps he needs some more Cryptogenic Frequent-Flyer Miles in order to make the trip.

Who doesn't?

 ;D

Hi Folks

Briehost will now be accepting BitMiles as an alternative payment method for their services. Simply get in touch with Briehost via their support tickets if you're looking to spend some BTMi with them (until we are added to their payments). This goes to show that BitMiles is a versatile digital currency that is not limited to a particular sector only! https://www.briehost.com/ (https://www.briehost.com/)

In other news ...

We have been in touch with a few merchants that are interested in adding BitMiles as an alternative payment method (one of them being a travel agency and another one being a resort). We hope to wrap up a few partnerships within the next week or two. Details will be posted to this thread as we progress.

Keep an eye on BitMiles  :)

It would be nice if I can book a holiday next summer with the bitmiles i bought in the last few days, as my BA Avios points are running low :)

looks nice. waiting for new partners.

BitMiles Block Explorer up and running  here : http://blocks.bitmiles.org/ (http://blocks.bitmiles.org/) This (along with an additional node : 104.236.140.97) will be added to the OP  :)

BitMiles wish you all a very Happy New Year :) We're looking forward to seeing you on board in 2015 ✈

Happy New Years to you as well :)

How about trying to get a service like Uber or Lyft to adopt this for payment or rewards?  ???

Great idea !! Thanks for the suggestion, siampumpkin. We will get in touch with them (as well as other alternatives to them).

As for the potential partnerships we have lined up already ... we should be hearing back from them, this coming week (Monday 5th January).

Updates will be posted here.

Hold your BTMi guys :) don't sell too cheap just yet !

 :)

Hey guys

BitMiles now officially added to Briehost. See https://www.briehost.com/knowledgebase/464/BitMiles-BTMi.html (https://www.briehost.com/knowledgebase/464/BitMiles-BTMi.html)

Exciting week ahead of us  :) Keep your eyes on this thread.

We are now on block 29490 and we are nearing the 44640 block mark (low starting reward blocks of only 500 BTMi p/block). We should reach block 44640 within the next 7 - 8 days. Hereafter, block rewards will increase to 2400 BTMi p/block for the next 2 years. Happy mining!  :)

What I don't understand is the coin is in the crapper on C-Cex, but yet there is a shitload of hash on it.  Why?  With the block increase, is this going to be one of those 1 SAT coins?

Gotta mine enough coins before a pump. Makes perfect sense.  ;)

Hello Dev, any news? :)

Hey  :)

Progress report/update will be posted here within the next few hours. Keep an eye on this thread  ;)

Regards

Thank you for your reply, looking forward to reading them :)

impressive hash rate Network H/s: 530731445 :) and the difficulty is going up, could this be a good sign to start buying bitmiles? I love the name btw

So Dev I first must congratulate you on getting added to Bittrex :) Also I look forward to what the future of BitMiles brings :)

Seriously someone report this guy for all this spamming that he is doing for this rip off ponzi scheme!! This is threads for discussing the coins that are announced buddy so FACK OFF!!

I have been keeping an eye since that day :)

Hi Dev,

Would you have already something for us? Looking forward to your update.

DEV! can you update everyone? no communication from your side is not very good strategy...

Hey guys

My apologies for the short delay in posting update here. We have had a few very busy days behind us (BitMiles and non-BitMiles related) and things are easing to normal again. So, just to give a few word on whats happened/happening :

1. Block rewards will increase on block 44640 (that is 1925 blocks from time of writing this post). Rewards will increase from 400 BTMi to 2400 BTMi (good time to start mining). Speaking of blocks - our block explorer is live (in-house) : http://blocks.bitmiles.org/ (http://blocks.bitmiles.org/)

2. We have been in touch with several travel related merchants over the past two weeks (resorts, car rental agencies, cab services, and even airlines to name but a few), and have already had some good feedback from Ettalong Beach Resort (could possibly be the very first resort to start accepting BTMi in addition to the BTC they already accept), as well as a lodge. We are still awaiting feedback from most of the merchants we have contacted and we still have a boat load of merchants we need to get in touch with (which we will be ongoing). All partnerships will be posted here (as merchants accept/integrate BitMiles).  Hoping to have the first relevant partner before the end of January 2015.

3. We have participated in the POD (Proof of Developer) program and are currently in review for our rating. Once our rating becomes available, we will add it where necessary.

4. We have rethought the airline (specific) adoption side of things and decided to alter the system a bit to be more accommodating to our users (also to give them ease of mind when it comes to using their BitMiles for what it was originally intended). So, the main reason for this change was :

4.1 we understand that not all airlines will adopt BitMiles as an alternative to their already existing frequent flyer program (perhaps not even one airline). Should NO airline adopt BitMiles, there is no way for you (the miner) to use your BitMiles with any airline as an alternative. So, what's the point of having a stash of BitMiles?

This is why we are altering the system for direct and indirect usage with airlines (this will not apply to accommodation, car rentals, cabs, etc).

direct usage will be for any airline that choose to use BitMiles as an alternative to their own ffm program
indirect usage (exchange type system that we are working on right now), will allow you to exchange your BitMiles for Skymiles (Delta). This is just an example.

Example :

you have 4,000 BitMiles and you have a Delta SkyMiles account
each BTMi is worth $0.03 (example) and each Delta SkyMile is also worth $0.03 (actual current price is $0.035 per mile: https://www.delta.com/buygftxfer/displayBuyMiles.action = the aim is to get BitMiles as close as we could to real world price)
you exchange your BTMi for SkyMiles (via the exchange system)
4,000 SkyMiles is credited to your Delta membership account (all we need is your name and member ID/).

Please Note: the bid per BitMile (BTMi) will be based on demand. At this stage, the price per BTMi is super low and chances of the 'indirect' system to work, is incredibly slim - unless we see the price increase ! We would hate to see this die. We don't want 1,000,000 BTMi exchange for 5 SkyMiles (you get the idea). Simply put - we need your help!

BitMiles will be able to be credited to and used with fourteen different airline loyalty programs (as a start) :

United - MileagePlus
AeroMexico - Club Premier
Air Canada - Aeroplan
Air France - Flying Blue
British Airways - Executive Club
Cathay Pacific - Asia Miles
Delta - SkyMiles
El Al - Matmid
Emirates - Skywards
Iberia - Iberia Plus
JetBlue - TrueBlue
Singapore Air - KrisFlyer
Virgin America - eleVAte
Virgin Atlantic - Flying Club

We hope that this new addition to BitMiles will bring more people on-board (both miners and merchants). Pun intended! ;) Once this system kicks into effect (which should be by mid-Feb latest), notification will be posted here as well as our website and social streams.

5. BitMiles paperwallet will be made available this coming week (we are on the verge of finishing up). Then, we are also busy with the Mac OS X wallet which should be done by the end of this coming week.

6. BitMiles Whitepaper and website (http://bitmiles.org) will be updated/revamped over the next few days.

Happy mining

Hey  all :)

iSpace mining pool added http://goo.gl/DnLfR2 (http://goo.gl/DnLfR2) . See OP for updates

Only 1135 blocks to go before BitMiles rewards increases from 400 - 2400 (that is triple (x2))

Enjoy !

Congrats on the transition Dev, the hashrate is already above 1 g/s Network H/s: 1110463912 :)

Thanks so much!

Hey all

The initial 'starting block mining period' has come to an end and BitMiles rewards increased from 500 BTMi per block to 2400 BTMi per block! This block reward will remain for 2 years (next switch on block 1051200) to 1200 BTMi per block. Happy mining!

This coin will be dead very soon. BTMI team has failed to keep communicating and there are no big news coming up.
I did very much like the concept but without any concrete agreements this coin is like any other. This was primarily reason why i jumped off.

Sorry and good luck

Any thoughts on joining the JBS multipool to help keep us on the exchange

Now that the block rewards are increasing to 2400, what do you anticipate the price will do?

Edit: I have another question too, how do you propose to have any "real world" use, when as I have right now 1 transfer unconfirmed after 12 hr's and counting.

Hello Dev, I like your coin and I have a question for you :) Have you considered changing to POS, mining is not profitable anymore and many small time miners turned off their rigs? so How about start fresh by switching to POS?

Hello Dev, i sent you a pm, hope you dont mind :)

Nice idea for coin.

Hope it isnt a PND bs result.

I like the idea too and I love the name :) I just hope the community grows a bit

watch at bittrex and keep in mind what happend with MEWN last week. It'll explode soon

So i'm watching and see the fake price push. Wondering for how long it will last... just a PND there is no real news to push the price.
2 - 3 days and price will be at the same level. Especially with 2400 coins per block.
Good luck

A PnD with 3 bitcoins volume? I doubt it :)

Hi, dev.

If you have time. Please post to here, maybe info or other announce. Just to make sure you care about thread.

If not. I will sell my all order.

Thanks.  :)

wow such dev..
no news, no update, no fud, no nothing... coz nothing special about this coin  8)

Maybe he "flew the coop" LOL

"Bitmiles ‏@bitmilesco  Jan 26
#BitMiles Giveaway Round 3 to start within the next 24 hours. Details will be posted to our BCT and CCT threads. Get your hands on some BTMi"

Keeping your word will instil confidence in people.

Well, no news from the developer, and c-cex has announced it is de-listing in one week. I rest my case.

I heard there will be a huge pump on this coin soon. It will go over 200 sat.

Anyone else heard of this rumor? Well i'm gonna buy some and don't miss out.

I think it would be a great shame if this coin dies. I wish the Dev shows same levels of energy as he did when he first created the coin.

Someone is getting filled at 5 satoshi, if bitmiles pumps then he/she will be very happy

Bobsurplus's pump ?  ::)

My bad. I was all-in in low rates.  :'(

Is this coin abandoned by the developer?

BitMiles Climbs to 40
They want to keep the price up 35 Satoshi,
Forever
Do not sell your coin less than 350

BTMi marked for delisting on C-Cex!!!!

Is there any danger of Bitmiles being delisted from Bittrex or is it healthy there?

C-Cex has BTMi listed as [BTMI] BitMiles Marked for delisting

A coin will be delisted from bittrex if its daily trading volume falls below 0.2 btc for a week. So for now it is safe

Hopefully it wont, as it had a volume of 0.66 yesterday. Not sure if it is enough though

Should someone take over this ?? Thread or ??

I have sold all my positions of BTMI due to lack of support from Developer . good luck all  :o

well, i would like to initiate community takeover status if dev doesn't appear from this summons.  I have close family contacts in a very large airline that I can successfully leverage a deal w, as well as I have a feelin this news is quite relevant to our cause as well.
 
http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-bitnet-260-airlines-uatp/ (http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-bitnet-260-airlines-uatp/)

BTMI survived the chop from C-Cex this time

I guess it was Br0ken who moved along :)

It is the perfect airline currency, just a shame that the Dev didn't keep his word.

So, who would be interested to assist a community takeover if dev continues unprofessional communication & contact?  I have made some solid liaison work with some relatives w pull for 1 major carrier.  This actually has a solid chance! Just need coin logistics & admin help if I tackle the business & marketing of any potential takeover .

I can help you by contributing to a donations fund to help with the giveaways and other things. i offered the same to the dev in a pm and he didnt even bother replying to me.

does anybody know how many coins have been mined so far? thx

More than 24 mil up for sale. I think its time for me to take a loss and get out. I mined most of my holdings and I bought some too, shame It couldnt have ended better. Good luck to all

Why ?? Did you know most altcoin is scam ?? Just not weak hand bro. I've got so many bitmiles too.

worthless shit

And, once again..

If you like to dump. Please PM me. I'm serious, bro.  :)

by all means dump away, i've  been scooping every drop with as much spare btc i can afford each day.     I'm serious when I say, let's community takeover this coin right away, I have some actual ways to implement btmi with an international carrier willing to workout a deal.  (gotta love family in the right place at the right time)

BitMiles Mining Pool Hub
http://bitmiles.miningpoolhub.com

We opened BitMiles pool.


- Can operate as BitMiles multipool
  Mine the most profitable coin and auto exchange to BitMiles is possible

- Reliable mining pool that have been running more than 1 year

Come and mine together!

I never dump, when I sell I always sell in small chunks :) I honestly wish you and the community all the best. I will still keep my word of contributing to any fund the community creates in the future. I have been saying that i like the coin from the very first days it launched. But i got to say i am p***ed off with the Dev like everyone is. I am not pi**ed off because he stopped communicating with the community, I am pi**ed off because only an idiot would start a really cool project like this one (you might say it is just another altcoin) and then just let it die. I said its a cool project because the market was a little hungry for a new scrypt coin (i love scrypt in the winter) and I cant believe that no one thought of the airmiles/bitmiles concept until he did. Anyway Best of luck spinladen and community

Congrat's..

but not for you, br0ken.

https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/get-bitcoin-miles/

I like your idea of takeover. How do we proceed? Will you change to POS or will you keep POW?

82 million coins mined so far. If we change to POS, market cap will go up by x20 at least. Higher price brings more attention and makes community grow

Heya

Just FYI that we're mining BTMI as a merged coin on our multipool: www.xpool.ca and miners have the option to keep their BTMI when it's mined just by entering their BTMI address in their user settings.

Cheers!

any news about community takeover?

Yes THY will accepted bitmiles , what a Great news Guys!!!
https://m.turkishairlines.com/#/payFly/searchReservation

Proof ?? PR ??

The economist has written an article about bitcoin and the airline industry. Bitmiles fits perfectly, just a shame it never picked up. Make sure your read this article br0ken http://www.economist.com/blogs/gulliver/2015/02/booking-flights-bitcoin

Not sure what to make of this tweet by the official bitmiles twitter account !!!!?

 ;D

see you in  #Bitmiles on IRC

time to integrate this coin to the community, i think much people dont interessting to this coin because the dev is not compatible.
But i thinks this coin has a good future, look to Bitcredits, same think same idea.
in 1-2 weeks we risw to the 0,0000100 by Bittrex ;)

NEW PROMOTION:


fly miles....buy miles.. Buy Bitmiles!!!

fly miles....buy miles.. Buy Bitmiles!!!

at 2 sat soon

delisted tomorrow at bittrex if there's no more volume!

We need a new Dev if this coin is going to survive, maybe you can take it over crackfoo?

Sorry, do not have the time or know how... and isn't your name BTMIcommunitytakeover? ;)

 There have already been cases when dev was gone for a long time, but then appeared

Few more hours and this coin will peacefully pass away. What a shame, and Good Luck to the current holders, may you make your BTC back soon.

 This problem does not have coins. This exchange goes bad https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/bitcoin-exchange-bittrex-will-remove-36-cryptocurrencies-sunday/

sorry, my bad. It has survived :)

any news ??

So, who are dev now ??

No Devs and No news

Hi,

i heard about the plane crash  :'(

Dev have some new information for the community.. come say the good news  ::)

If you guys are waiting on "br0ken" to come back, then you have a long wait. This "developer" was simply an opportunist from a 3rd world country looking to make a few quick dollars from people that want to get on the next big crypto train.

If there are people that actually believe this has a future, then announce you wish to hire a real dev and hopefully move forward. Honestly I don't see where a separate currency for frequent flier miles is necessary, when a coloured coin or NXT asset would work just fine.

Hello guys

I will shutdown the pool from Coinminers so pls come and withdraw your coins from the pool . Thanks for mining with us https://btmi.coin-miners.info/

Any new's  ???

WINDOWS WALLET work?

not synced

What are the nodes?

We mined BTMI until a few days ago when bittrex removed it.
At this time there seemed to be 3-4 nodes, 2 from us, one from bittrex and another one.
As we have stopped our bitmiles daemons and bittrex removed it, there is possibly only one or no node left.
The only node not being us or bittrex was 71.175.81.45:29156 I believe, eventually this node is still up and you can sync from it.

HTH

thanks

and what bittrex node? bittrex still Withdrawal bitmiles, I think they should work node

I don't remember, I have pulled the above node from an email exchange with bittrex where I sent them my getpeerinfo.
I restarted one of our BitMilesd but after 10mins I still have no connections. Seems like no nodes up anymore.

You can get the current blockchain from our node in the next hours before we shut it down finally, but it may as well be a fork - dunno:

157.161.128.53

thanks

bittrex node work

Glad it worked, we have 2 connections too now.

If anybody wants our ~470k BTMI, please PM me with an offer.

Check link in my signature, maybe it could be helpful to your community to make nodes for BitMiles.

I will buy 1 BTMI = 0,1 Satoshi


not nodes BitMiles

Ok, send me your BTMI address and I'll transfer my balance. Once you received it you can pay me.
It will probably be difficult as there seem to be no more nodes now, I have 0 connections.
