Hey Bytecode Team. It's Saturday, soon to be Sunday in Thailand. Any news on the hard fork? Should miners stop mining?

It takes sometime before the hashrate on any given pool is reflected on the block explorer in terms of hashrate and difficulty. That hashrate probably didn't last long enough to cause the nethash to be that high on the block explorer.

Have you decided on a block height to do the fork yet? Also do you have bug bounties? If so can I have one for finding this bug?

I don't know what you're seeing. The explorer and baspool both have correct block heights and hash rates.

Bytecode, not Bytecoin.

And yes, Bytecoin was a scam. It's unfortunate that this dev team has a similar name to a scam project. I'd rebrand and change my name from Bytecode Team to BASCode Team or something if I were them. In other words, something that actually has to do with BitASEAN and not that scamcoin Bytecoin. It would help the project and its branding in a positive way.

Has the Bytecode Team considered reaching out to IOHK or the Digital Currency Group? They are a companies that help new cryptocurrencies in things like technical support, promotion, getting listed on exchanges, getting press in the main cryptocurrency websites, etc.

IOHK: https://iohk.io/about/
Digital Currency Group: http://dcg.co/

Correct. Just look at how many times Monero and Ethereum has hardforked. These are protocol upgrades and the market should reward them as BitASEAN becomes more usable as a result.

Do you know what Block Number the hard fork will occur in? As soon as you do you will need to publish that information here and with the exchange(s) so people can prepare well in advance ie: miners stop mining, exchange switch chains, etc.

Also will the hard fork require us to download a new wallet? If so a guide for people on how to backup and restore their old wallet file to the new wallet might be appropriate.

Thanks for the speedy response! That's a good habit to have.

Good question. It appears the block explorer was on some type of fork or testnet but if you click Pools you see the correct information for the mainet. Also if you click on Blocks nothing appears and no blocks are updating even though blocks are being found on baspool and solo so it looks like the Dev was doing some tests on a testnet but didn't put the block explorer back correctly on the mainet.

Bytecode Dev Team, what's going on?

I agree. Cryptopia and Bittrex

Might want to read the whole thread first: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1946768.msg19496382#msg19496382

Those coins were mined.

Yes. They are from Thailand. Follow them on Twitter.

Thanks.

Is the problem fixed or will it happen again?

The problem is even worse on the Main developer's pool: http://128.199.168.3

Hope the dev can work with you on this. Looks like someone else with a lot of hashpower is on your pool now. I guess they'll find out the same thing I did about the failed 500-1000 BAS transactions.

Have you considered a crowdfund from early adopters/investors to raise the 3BTC if you don't have it? Without a better exchange this project is a great idea going nowhere. If you need help there are people willing to help but you need to let them know you need it.

Also to the Bytecode team, can you do something about the 500 BAS mass transaction limit? Some of us need to send way more than that and it seems very limiting. I mine on a pool (BASPool) and the operator has had an issue with "Transaction too big" errors on some payouts. Additionally transactions between 500-1000 BAS just disappear, don't even appear in the wallet. With such a low satoshi coin, larger transactions need to be reliable before it goes to any exchange.

Agreed.

This should be the week that the dev follows up on the exchanges they applied for and submits applications for Cryptopia.

Agreed. This coin has much potential but it needs a larger more respected exchange to give it life.
