Create your own things instead of copying other coin tech, that will get you a lot further.

Bitcore Core meeting summary


Dear Bitcore Community,

this is a quick summary of our two-day meeting from 12 - 13th of December 2017 @ Bodensee.


Open meeting
First of all let us thank everyone that came to the open meeting on December 12th. We had great discussions and we're happy you were able to meet with us on such short notice!
Special thanks to our host Fabian, he is an even more fantastic guy in real life than he is in the Telegram chat! If you ever consider staying near Bodensee, take a look at his gorgeous hotel: www.hotel-gierer.de
We made some great contacts that will help us grow Bitcore in the future.


Internal meeting.
The vast growth of Bitcore and the sudden increase of interest for BTX all over the world was overwhelming for our team.
We decided to restructure and rethink the way we approach all upcoming development to make sure we can meet the expectations and fully utilize the possibilities Bitcore's underlying tech provides.
Restructuring took some time and now we are back at 100%!

The team now gets direct support from more developers and people experienced with cryptocurrency project development.
We will release an official team announcement within the next 24h.


Roadmap
The Bitcore Core team has decided on a lot of important points regarding development and marketing for the future.
This is a sneak preview of things to come for BTX:

● New Website
This will contain a new and more in-depth structure and a redesign.
Including a new block explorer (independent from the current chainz explorer)
It will also contain our official roadmap with more points than listed within this statement.

● ATMs
Jon already released the pull request for GENERAL BYTES ATMs.
https://github.com/GENERALBYTESCOM/batm_public
We expect to hear back from them soon and already have several people ready to order once the latest software is implemented for their systems.

● More ways to sell and buy BTX.
Right now cannot publicly give specifics.

● Hardware wallet support
We expect to get support for Bitcore BTX on a hardware wallet soon.


Your Bitcore team


Nice, happy with the hardware wallet support, looking forward to more news. Hope cmc is done buying in soon  Wink

I definitely support them, they are a big part of the crypto ecosystem, for me at least. Without alts crypto would be boring and wouldn't get pushed forward this fast.

527  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The USA officially recognized Bitcoin — what now? on: December 10, 2017, 07:14:59 PM
2018 is going to be a wild year, hang on and hope it doesn't all come crashing down or destroyed for the regular folk  now that it in the hands of the establishment. So much for decentraliztion.

If bitcoin would move towards a more centralized way due to all the incoming rules and regulation, I will start losing my interest in it.

The url for Checking paper wallet balance http://51.15.78.208:3001/ is not working. Is there any other option to view the wallet balance? and from where can I download bitcore p2p clients?

That one has been taken down permanently.

I think there are still people that stick to stocks because of the volatility. Yes you can make big money, but you can also lose big time.

Dear Bitcore Community,

Please vote for Bitcore on KuCoin: retweet!
https://twitter.com/kucoincom/status/939108944798040065



Thank you,

Your Bitcore team

Done

With all due respect kucoin is a 5 million dollar/24hr exchange. Not even in the top50 of exchanges.

I'm waiting for some real news, bittrex/polo/bitfinex/binance.

So all this trash your talking above poster and you couldnt even comment or answer the main point???

HERE IT IS AGAIN:

So to my understanding,  98% of the free BTX that was given to BTC holders have not been claimed and they can be claimed any time in the future?

EVERYONE PLEASE COMMENT.

Is there any way to disable this feature now?   This is like giving your competition tools to destroy you.



Everything you post screams noob...and shows you barely know what's going on .
BCH BTG other forks work exactly the same way, stop posting bs.

Too bad there's no way to get these coins back for a better use!

I think when the distribution model was voted (and I was part of the ones that voted for this option), I don't think we clearly understood the implication of such decision. I personally thought they would all be in circulation in a matter of just a few weeks. I believe most of us thought that it would be an easy walk in the park just like the BCash fork, but clearly, most of these 8M coins will never really be in circulation. In my opinion, it's one of the reasons CMC still don't show the full circulation.

What's helping all these Bitcoin forks is that a large number of exchanges directly credit account holders with the free Bitcoin fork. Should this process also apply for Bitcore? What does the dev team need to do to make it happen?

The coins are in circulation..they are as much in circulation as they are in bitcoin, or bcash or bitcoingold.
Why does it matter to you if someone touched his coins or not? It doesn't matter to you in bitcoin either right? It doesn't matter to people in bch or other forks either.

And how can you say this is a reason for cmc to not show the correct supply when it works exactly the same as bcash or btg's (and many others) circulating supply?

Hitbtc was/is supposed to do this, why cryptopia or none of the other exchanges didn't do this is also unclear to me.

How come the massive dump off right now? I knew it would retrace some after the big drop and surge but I wasn't expecting it to retrace this hard. Obviously too there would be some sell off after airdrops but did some people completely bail and tank this coin down? Seems like a weird progression to me given that once things are updated and running smoothly this coin should be back 300k satoshi and above. Also lastly I am on board with redistributing the BTX coins from Bitcoin claimers to those who are loyal that seems fair especially if you give them a deadline that is 3-4 months away from now. Any thoughts on this idea?

I completely agree with redistributing the BTX from BTC holders if they dont claim it by a certain time. I dont know why they should get free BTX if they havent invested time, money or energy into BTX. Ive been mining from the beginning and have also spent on it. Just because someone holds lots of BTC shouldnt mean they are entitled to free BTX without being a part of it.

as far as HITBtc.. I dont use it, dont understand the thrill or excitement about it as there are better exchanges..


You guys don't know what you're talking about. There is no such thing as redistributing.. the coins that have been distributed through btc addresses belong to the owners of those addresses/privatekeys. They are written transactions in the chain. Out of anyone's control besides the owner.

I hope hitbtc will distribute the free btx to users soon and make an major announcement on this. Cool

I don't know what's making them wait so long, a little more effort from hitbtc's side would be nice.
I think they just sold the BTX they got through the snapshot completely. Else there would be no explanation why they are having trouble to process the withdrawals of the users.
Is HitBTC really this shady or what is the deal? I never checked their BTX volume often but when I did it was abysmal, I thought this was a big exchange too...

--ypsi
Shady is a bit mild. Or what would you say if you want to withdraw coins for around 1BTC and they are not processing the withdrawal and you can't do anything other than watch your balance drop from 1 BTC to under 0.5BTC. I needed to withdraw because if you want to sell 1/5 of the daily volume it doesn't really work out as you wish.
Anything I got till now are lame excuses and we're feeling with you. No substantial explanation, just nothing. If that isn't shady... a exchange has to guarantee you your deposits are safe and backed by the exchange. Obviously that's not the case on HitBTC.

I agree it's more than shady, it's a  major shitshow over there at hitbtc. At this point I don't really care about their excuses, they have proven their incompetence.
They will really need to step it up to redeem themselves but I doubt that will happen.

The faster the price rise, the more people register for the airdrop, the faster the address #1 will run out of BTX.
The more we get a steady and healthy growth, the more registered addresses are own by early BTX adopters, the longer the time it will take to empty address #1, the more we all are going to be able to accumulate BTX!


I can not agree more than that.

+1, I too agree 100% on that. Additionally, I would guess that the recent drop of the price may have been caused by BTC holders/whales who have dumped their BTX which they have got through the airdrop because they don't want concurrence. I would stop giving to these people tons of free coins to dump - only BTX holders should get the airdrop from now on, and be sure the price would soon moon.
Yeah what would be cool is simply decide to give people 4 months to claim their BTX. If not claimed then airdrop all remaining coins to BTX supporters Smiley

What are you guys talking about? There is no unclaimed btx, all the btx there is to distribute is in the airdrop wallet.

Don't know what is wrong but if my math is right, BTX should be around the top50 coins in coinmarketcap at the moment..  The numbers are way off, weird.

very strange indeed  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes


How clear does it need to be for you coinmarketcap? This perfectly explains it to you:

CMC lists an incorrect marketcap for quite a few coins.

Anyway.. to clear a few misconceptions, circulating supply means coins that have recently been sent or addresses known to be active (CMC gives no indication of the time cut-off however). A fairly stupid measuring metric to be honest.
Total marketcap are coins generated 'to date' or in existence at any given point.
If coins were sent to an address; and the owner lost the private key - this does not affect the marketcap total, as said coins still exist and are valid on the blockchain.
The Bitcoin holders 'forked' coins don't matter, if they were reimbursed with BTX due to the snapshot - the BTX they were sent already existed beforehand.

To find the to the minute (and correct) coinmarketcap:
Ensure your baking tray is lightly greased, along with a txindex'd copy of bitcored, mix with python 2.7 and gently stir python-bitcoinrpc library in (pip install python-bitcoinrpc). Don't forget to add your rpcuser/pass otherwise rpc comms will fail.

Code:
from bitcoinrpc.authproxy import AuthServiceProxy, JSONRPCException
import time, os, sys

def find_between( s, first, last ):
    try:
        start = s.index( first ) + len( first )
        end = s.index( last, start )
        return s[start:end]
    except ValueError:
        return ""

def find_between_r( s, first, last ):
    try:
        start = s.rindex( first ) + len( first )
        end = s.rindex( last, start )
        return s[start:end]
    except ValueError:
        return ""

# user-config section
rpchost = '127.0.0.1'
rpcuser = ''
rpcpass = ''
rpcport = '8556'

rpcpipe = AuthServiceProxy('http://' + rpcuser + ':' + rpcpass + '@' + rpchost + ':' + rpcport)
currentblk = 0
totalcoincap = 0

while True:

   currentblk=currentblk+1

   #get total blocks
   while True:
     blocktotal = int(rpcpipe.getblockcount())
     if currentblk == blocktotal:
        print 'hit end of chain, waiting'
        time.sleep(15)
     else:
        break

   #request each block
   blockhash = rpcpipe.getblockhash(currentblk)
   blockdata = rpcpipe.getblock(blockhash)
   blocktx = find_between(str(blockdata),'[',']').replace('u','').replace(' ','').replace('\'','')
   blocktxlist = blocktx.split(',')

   #parse all tx in block
   for tx in blocktxlist:
       rawtx = rpcpipe.getrawtransaction(tx)
       # generated pow/pos coins have no prevout
       if '0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000' in rawtx:
          break

   #decode the 'generated/mined' tx data, extract the value
   coinbasetx = rpcpipe.decoderawtransaction(rawtx)
   valuemined = find_between(str(coinbasetx), 'Decimal(\'', '\'),')

   #special case for nonstandard pool where coinbaseout isn't first vout
   while float(valuemined)==0:
      try:
        valuemined = find_between_r(str(coinbasetx), 'Decimal(\'', '\'),')
      except:
        valuemined = 0
        print '* could not find vout for block '+str(currentblk)+'!'
        break

   totalcoincap = totalcoincap + float(valuemined)
   currentblk_fmt = str(currentblk)
   while len(str(currentblk_fmt)) < 6:
     currentblk_fmt=' '+currentblk_fmt

   print 'block '+str(currentblk_fmt)+'|'+blockhash+'|mined '+str(round(float(valuemined),8))+'|coincap '+str(round(float(totalcoincap),8))



We can see as of block 95,338; a total of 16,678,946.0337BTX are in existence.

Nobody is asking you to count the airdrop wallet. Calculating the circulating supply should be a piece of cake, thanks.

Nice one.

So the airdrop wallet is also a wallet that holds BTX and this should be counted as well right? So actually 16 million coins in circulation

Nobody really wants or needs the airdrop wallet to be counted, it is in existance of course but ideally we wouldn't count the airdrop wallet as being in circulation yet.

The updated value is now:

Circulating Supply
1,808,259 BTX

still far from reality but moving the right way .....

Why do you even bother doing this Gliss? There is nobody who cares about an incorrect supply being updated with the incorrect numbers...again.
