📣 Dear BTCU friends and supporters,

to make sure you receive most up to date information, we have compiled detailed answers to most of your frequently asked questions. Find them below.

Where can I check the airdrop rewards❓
- Participants can check their BTCU accrual in the explorer on: https://explorer.btcu.io/?mainnet

I entered my BTC address in the explorer search box but it says “Nothing found”. Why❓
- Make sure you enter your BTC address correctly. All airdrop participants who held BTC on their private wallets at the time of the fork (block 669204) may check their BTCU accruals in the explorer now.

- Those who held their BTC on exchanges that supported the fork CAN NOT see their BTCU now, as all accruals for exchanges will be credited later.

- For those who held their BTC on custodial wallets which do not belong to exchanges that supported the fork WILL NOT receive an AirDrop.

When will the BTCU rewards be credited on the exchanges' wallets❓
- BTCU accruals will occur once the coins are released on those exchanges. After that, exchanges will credit BTCU to users who had BTC in their account at the time of the fork.

What if I held my bitcoins on an exchange that ignored Airdrop at the time of the fork❓
- You can still get your BTCU by providing proof of BTC balance at the time of the fork. Also, the exchanges that decide to distribute BTCU coins among users that met the airdrop conditions will be able to receive them by filling out an application and contacting the BTCU team.

Where can I get the Masternode address❓
- To set up a masternode, follow the instructions at https://github.com/bitcoin-ultimatum/orion. Visit our page at https://btcu.io/partnership to read the terms and conditions and email your request to our team on: masternode@btcu.io.

If I didn't have BTC before February 5, will I be eligible to receive BTCU❓
- Unfortunately, you won’t be eligible to receive BTCU per the terms of the airdrop. After BTCU are listed on exchanges, you can buy or sell them normally.  

Is it still possible to earn BTCU coins❓
- Despite the end of the airdrop, you can still take part in our bug bounty program. In case you successfully complete the tasks offered by our technical team or your own found bug is identified as relevant, you will be rewarded with BTC / ETH / USDT / USDC / BTCU.

Can I trade/withdraw my BTC now❓
- Yes, feel free to do that, as the snapshots of your BTC balances were taken at the time of the fork.

Can I buy BTCU now❓
- BTCU coins are not accessible for trading now. We’ll inform our community about all listing updates on our social media channels.  

When will BTCU be listed on exchanges❓ Are there any exchanges that have confirmed their partnership with your project❓
- We are in the process of negotiating with Binance, Huobi, KuCoin, & Okex to support the fork.
On the other hand, cryptocurrency exchanges like Liquid, Probit, Yobit, Coinsbit, Biki, P2Pb2b, LocalTrade, Folgory, Bitforex, BiOne, Alterdice, LBank have already declared their support for the fork.

What will be the price of BTCU on the exchanges❓ What's the actual price of your coin❓
- The price of any coin is determined by market conditions. The actual price is not set yet and will be known after BTCU is listed on trading platforms.

How to check BTCU accruals using the BTCU explorer❓
1. Go to https://explorer.btcu.io/?mainnet
2. Enter the BTC address you want to verify into the explorer search field
3. Your BTCU accruals information will display on your screen.

🔹 In case you didn’t find a solution to your question, kindly contact us by writing your query here or in Telegram chat using #faq. And we will gladly get back to you.

Couldn't wait for a new #AsEasyAsBTCU post, could you❓

😏 Here we are again. Today we’d like to talk about UPoS. What is it? UPoS refers to Ultimatum PoS - a New Decentralized consensus algorithm based on a combination of LPoS & PoA, considered as a more democratic principle.

🔹️ Leased Proof-of-Stake (LPoS) allows everyday users with no technical expertise to help secure the network, leasing their BTCU to full nodes without losing control of their coins. Whereas PoA is for validating and generating new blocks.

Ok, that’s clear, but how does it work❓
Everything is based on validators - masternodes that generate blocks and confirm them on the network - and leasing. We will tell you what masternodes and leasing are in our upcoming  #AsEasyAsBTCU editions.

⚡️ BTCU’s first 10 validators include large exchanges, cryptocurrency projects and development companies. One of which is Prof-IT Blockchain Limited, as a development team. The remaining validators will be elected as partners or advisers, each of whom is independent of each other in terms of creating blocks and voting decisions.

👍 Now, briefly, on voting. It is the process of decision making by validators about any events on the network. This may relate to operations such as changing transactions or transactions for implementing smart contracts, fulfilling conditions (i.e. staking and leasing in a required amount as an indicator of community trust)

Were we successful at providing you with comprehensive explanations❓
We look forward to your feedback and evaluations 😉

#BTCU #Bitcoin #ethereum #blockchain #cryptocurrency

👨‍🏫 Dear fam, we have launched a new rubric called #AsEasyAsBTCU. To explain what #AsEasyAsBTCU means in simple words: It’s a series aim at describing how the BTCU ecosystem works and the features and elements it entails. 

ℹ️ Today we will start with the BTCU operation principle.

🔹 BTCU is based on a combination of viable solutions that employ technological innovation to address and expand opportunities for applying blockchain technology. The basic operation principles of each technology in the BTCU ecosystem works in a usual mode for users or developers. These techs were specially developed to make their use as convenient as possible, and the transition to the BTCU network was achieved without having to spend extra resources.

🔹 The combination of technologies such as smart contracts, leasing and staking, transaction anonymity based on Zerocoin protocol (we will elaborate on it next time) into one decentralized network forms an ecosystem that allows users to use interesting technologies in one network without losing functionality. What makes BTCU unique? We DID NOT present the old, saying it is new - WE have put together the existing accomplishments in the crypto industry in a more efficient manner. Using the BTCU operation principle does not only enable us to create a large crypto ecosystem but also serves as a firm foundation for further development, including the integration of on-net atomic swaps.

Was our review useful❓
You can pick the next topic and share your feedback with us 😉

BTCU fam! Follow the link to join our CEO, Eric Ma, as he speaks to Dinis Guarda (world-renowned Fintech and Blockchain expert) about his journey and BTCU.

🥳 And we are live❗️

🚀 We are proud to announce that the BTCU Mainnet is now up and running. This is the culmination of more than a year of hard work by the entire team, developers, advisors and of course, the entire BTCU community who have supported us on this journey.

The launch marks our most important milestone to date. However, this is still just the beginning❗️

🔹 We intend to fulfil all our promises by making blockchain technology an integral part of daily lives. From Asset Tokenization to Rights Management, Supply chain and document flow to Cross-border Payments, Governance and Real Estate to Fintech, healthcare and more.

➡️ Prior to the launch, the Orion network was developed as the official platform for testing and evaluating the performance of the network and its ecosystem. Participants can check their BTCU accrual in the explorer on: https://explorer.btcu.io/

⚡️ Downloaded wallets will also be available and will work with the Orion network. These wallets will work in test mode in order to get feedback from the community and to test the protocol, leasing, charges, masternodes, validators, etc.

🤝 When partners emerge in the form of Tier 1 exchanges the official opening of the protocol will take place and downloads will be available in the wallets of the main network. We are in the process of negotiating with Binance, Huobi, KuCoin, & Okex to support the fork. On the other hand, cryptocurrency exchanges like Coinsbit, Bkex, Yobit, Biki, P2Pb2b, LocalTrade, Whitebit, Exmo, Folgory, Bitforex, BiOne and Alterdice have already declared their support for the fork.

📍 For those who are new to the project, BTC Ultimatum (BTCU) is a next-gen blockchain based on Bitcoin fork. Developed to solve Bitcoin's excessive energy consumption associated with mining, scalability and transaction anonymity while maintaining all of its useful characteristics. This involves the creation of a new energy-efficient mining algorithm - UPoS (Ultimatum PoS)-, provision of smart contract, implementation of atomic swaps and integration of Ethereum virtual machine (EVM).

😎 It combines Ethereum smart contract functionality with Bitcoin’s security to create a blockchain that is suitable for quick micropayment system for crypto users and large organizations.

🔥Breaking news! 🔥

As the BTCU Mainet (Main Network) is about to go live in a few days, our CEO, 😎 Eric Ma, gives an overview of the next-gen blockchain and its capabilities.

🎥 Kindly, take a moment to watch him delve into the project in this short video while we gear up for the official launch on Friday, 5th February 2021❗️

Link to video: https://fb.watch/3qIGVyecy0/

📢 IMPORTANT REMINDER

⏰ We remind our community and the public that the launch of the BTC Ultimatum (BTCU) blockchain is ONLY 3 days away! The much-awaited network will go-live on Friday, 5th February 2021.

🔹️ Over the past year, we have been actively perfecting the BTCU technology, which caused us to postpone its launch on several occasions. The decision to delay the fork paved the way for extensive assessments that have affirmed the core objectives of the blockchain.

🚀 In accordance with the preparation towards the fork event, and the success we have achieved through testing and evaluation concludes the technology is operable. Therefore, we have decided to proceed with the February 5th Mainet (Main Network) launch. As of Friday, 5th February, the public can take full advantage of the network. We welcome all partnerships which will further the development of the BTCU blockchain ecosystem.

📌 NB: On the other hand, an airdrop will not take place on February 5th. The BTCU airdrop will occur only when tier one exchanges declare their supports for it. We have taken this measure to protect users and make sure that everyone receives the BTCU airdrop in the ratio of 1:1, equivalent to the BTC balance on the branch block. Accordingly, the BTCU airdrop date will be announced at a later date.

😎 Combining the idea of Bitcoin with the capabilities of Ethereum 2.0, BTCU is a next-gen blockchain that stands out in terms of applicability across multiple industries, including payments, supply chain, retail, and others. Furthermore, it provides superior technology by addressing scalability, privacy and security in first and second generation blockchains.

➡️ You can find more information about BTCU here:
https://btcu.io/

The time has finally come, and we invite every cryptocurrency enthusiast to get ready to become a part of this history❗️


#BTCU #fork #cryptocurrency

📢 ANNOUNCEMNET:

🚀 We are delighted to inform the BTCU community and the public about the launch of BTCU Testnet (Test Network), on 21st January 2021. The objective of the operation is to identify vulnerabilities of the application that could lead to security breaches, by allowing the public to take part in the assessment of the BTCU Blockchain Application and its Source Code.

👨‍💻 This exercise is geared towards the fork scheduled on 5th February 2021. The comprehensive network testing will enable developers to test, create, or modify functionalities and monitor the BTCU blockchain network performance. This will help provide an objective and independent view of the network to enable parties and businesses to appreciate and understand the network's capabilities.

🔹️ Again, it will help us predict the operation of the network as well as provide stakeholders with information about the quality of the BTCU blockchain in terms of Security and Privacy, Capabilities, Usability, Integration and Interoperability.

🤝 We welcome testers to take part in this final operation, and Interested parties can take part in the process by simply clicking on the link to below 👇
