When we had a hard fork a few months ago to integrate the Dark Gravity Wave mining algorithm, Poloniex was extremely responsive about updating their wallets to be compatible with the hard fork. There's no reason to believe that they won't be as responsive and accommodating to Bela's upcoming hard fork / code upgrade, so there's little reason to pull out your Bela now in anticipation of the hard fork. Anyways, we will coordinate with Poloniex and other exchanges a couple weeks in advance to make sure that they have ample time to upgrade their wallets. If any exchanges choose not to (one small one didn't last time), we will be sure to inform the community so they can take the proper actions (avoiding that exchange, pulling out your Bela on the exchange before the hard fork, etc.).

Belacam Gamma begins closed testing TODAY! We'll be getting user feedback, performing security reviews, and conducting A/B testing with a small group of authorized users. We'll take this data, put on our finishing touches, and then we'll be nearly ready to launch (well, after a large amount of marketing). Exciting times!

Please stick with the official Bela mining pool at http://Minebela.com. We cannot guarantee that other mining pools keep up with Bela updates and may occasionally mine the incorrect chain when we do update, meaning your mined coins would be worthless. Also, we just now automatically updated all Mac wallets for increased syncing efficiency. No download required! If you have a Mac wallet running on your desktop computer, you're all good. If you do not have a Mac wallet but download one from http://Livebela.com, you will be running the most recent version as well. |

We will be sure to publicize that when we have it all ready. Just like last time, it will probably be an update that you will need to get before the fork date.

We're getting started on testing the new code update today / this week on the Bela testnet. Once successful, we fork! See the roadmap at Livebela.com.

We have significant mining power at http://Minebela.com now (at the time of writing this, it's 20% of Bela's hash rate), so Minebela.com is finding blocks with great frequency. If you're not mining yet, you should! It's a great way to earn passive income, and the pool's fee (only paid to us when a block is found) goes to support Bela's development, allowing us to do more things for Bela in the future. At http://minebela.com/getting_started, we have a guide on how to get started mining from even a Windows computer. You can get it up and running, leave it in the background, and get Bela deposited straight to your wallet without having to do any extra work. |

Minebela.com has been finding a few blocks lately. If you're not mining, you're missing out! Follow the instructions here to get started with nothing more than 5 minutes of your time and a Windows computer: http://minebela.com/getting_startedYes, any miner that can mine Litecoin (or other script coins) can mine Bela. Also, later today, we'll be making the big transition from "Belacoin" to "Bela." We'll probably start a new Bitcointalk thread with plenty more information on the great things that are coming: code changes, restructuring, roadmaps, etc. |

Very excited to announce and share more about Live Bela now, and more information on it is coming on August 16th.
We've been doing a lot of work on organizing it. It's paving an incredible future for Bela. We'll actually be hiring 5 paid positions, all of which will contribute to Bela's blockchain and software to a much greater extent than what The Ambia Fund has been able to do in the past.
Imagine having 3 people working full time on Bela's blockchain, implementing Segwit, Lightning Payments, new wallets, etc. every single day without being bogged down by responsibilities with Belacam, marketing, and other distractions.
Beyond that, we are looking to hire someone who's sole purpose is to lead Bela's marketing. Dash, a $1.5 billion market cap coin, is often respected as having the best marketing team. We'd love to see what an ongoing marketing initiative for Bela could do to compete with them.
I'm also hoping that we'll get more transparency with Live Bela. One common criticism is that everyone doesn't know the identities behind The Ambia Fund team, and that's a choice that our employees made a while ago. When hiring people for Live Bela, we will be giving preference to those who are willing to maintain a public image in front of the company. It'd be great for everyone to know the developers, CEO, CTO, and CMO of Live Bela.
This all comes August 16th, and we're consistently updating with new information in our slack at Belacoin.herokuapp.com

We're running our own mining pool at Minebela.com that we would recommend. It's maintained by the Bela dev team, and the low fees go back to support Bela development.

Here's a list of nodes:
addnode=104.131.122.141
addnode=104.156.246.46
addnode=108.163.197.62
addnode=109.167.227.248
addnode=144.76.220.17
addnode=144.76.71.141
addnode=149.56.241.2
addnode=172.104.140.15

addnode=84.29.56.160
addnode=91.121.78.102
addnode=95.30.228.203
Please add them all. You're doing the right format, but the second command that contains 'onetry' is actually unnecessary. You can skip the one and only do the 'addnode <node> add' command.

We're working on something exciting for mid August, and we'll be announcing a teaser sometime in the next few days.

The Belacoin halvening was successful. Each block now rewards miners with only 25 Belacoin instead of 50 Belacoin. This reduces the inflation rate from ~ 36,000 BELA per day to about 18,000 BELA per day. The supply itself isn't decreasing, but the supply rate of increase has decreased. Come join our slack at http://Belacoin.herokuapp.com to catch future events, news, and updates. |

Sure! We wrote an instructions guide at http://Belacoin.org/windowswalletsetup.pdf. It will work for a Mac desktop wallet if you have that as well. 3 days until the Belacoin Halvening! |
