What is a SPORK?
A spork is a mechanism that was unique to Dash. Now a mechanism of Bata (BTA)
It used to safely deploy new features to the network through network-level variables to avoid the risk of unintended network forking during upgrades.

Bata has activated the following spork of FxTC features for block 1100000:

{
  "SPORK_2_INSTANTSEND_ENABLED": 0,
  "SPORK_3_INSTANTSEND_BLOCK_FILTERING": 0,
  "SPORK_5_INSTANTSEND_MAX_VALUE": 1000,
  "SPORK_8_MASTERNODE_PAYMENT_ENFORCEMENT": 4070908800,
  "SPORK_9_SUPERBLOCKS_ENABLED": 4070908800,

  "SPORK_FXTC_01_HANDBRAKE_FORCE_X16R": 1,
  "SPORK_FXTC_02_IGNORE_SLIGHTLY_HIGHER_COINBASE": 4070908800,
  "SPORK_FXTC_02_IGNORE_FOUNDER_REWARD_CHECK": 4070908800,
  "SPORK_FXTC_02_IGNORE_FOUNDER_REWARD_VALUE": 4070908800,

You can check if you see this in your wallet by "spork show" command in console.


Pools will have to enable 1% dev fee to address B689SM77Pe56wJze6KPywtKkva9rhPZZUc

Old wallets will fork because v2 blocks will not be backward compatible - multi algo will be enabled.

SHA256D, SCRYPT, NIST5, LYRA2Z, X11 and X16R will be Bata's multi algo.

Block rewards will be dynamic up to 0.25 BTA. That means only with enough nethash full block rewards will be mined.

If you require any assistance with enabling these algos, please let me know.

Hi, yes there will be a Masternode setup guide on the new website which will be launched soon. We are still waiting to fully activate the Masternode network, as per previous posts.

Remember there is also a Auto-Setup Script available in discord.

We have made available to everyone who needs help setting up a Bata Masternode, an auto setup script.

For more information please visit discord - https://discord.gg/SM8jQTQ

Then view the #masternode-auto-setup channel.

Hi I just tried to PM you, but as you are a newbie member BCT would not allow me.

It is best to contact via Discord, the link is in the OP.

Thanks.

Masternode payments are working as pools are running new wallet and they enabled masternode rewards. These are not enforced payments, they are enable by the pool/s.

Build from https://github.com/BTA-BATA/Bataoshi as I have removed other branches.

Hello, it appears you built from https://github.com/BTA-BATA/Bataoshi/ - which is just a fork of BTC.

You will need to build from the branch : https://github.com/BTA-BATA/Bataoshi/tree/0.16

Hello I sent a PM a few days ago, regarding updating Bata to Core 0.16.2.79

https://github.com/BTA-BATA/Bataoshi/tree/0.16

The update is mandatory and in preparation for activation of Masternodes and Multi-Algo

Thanks in advance.

I have received confirmation that iSpace Mining Pools has updated to 0.16 core.

Bata Core 0.16.2.79 Release Announcement

We are happy to announce the release of 0.16.2.79.

Update includes Bitcoin Core 0.16 wallet with Dash Core 0.12 features.

We encourage all full node operators (pools, explorers) to update to avoid initial sync issues in the future.

Credits
Thanks go out to all contributors that made this release possible!

Wallets available for download - https://github.com/BTA-BATA/Bataoshi/releases

update from dev - Everything tested, pull request made. I hope everything will go smooth.
We need to build wallets and then update Explorer and rebuild database to see segwit transaction with proper prefix. If explorer will be OK, then we can go to update pools. They don't need to do any changes to configuration at this stage. If pool will be working and block will be generated without problem then we can go to update exchanges.
After that we can release wallets for general public.
After that we have to wait until most of network will go to new wallet and then we can enable multialgo. Scrypt mining should go without configuration changes on all pools then. They just add other algos then.
After that we can start masternodes, etc.
Recap:
1. Accept pull request and merge repo on github.
2. Build wallets.
3. Upgrade, rebuild and test explorer(s).
4. Upgrade and test pools.
5. Upgrade and test exchanges.
6. Release wallets for general public.
7. Enable FxTC features.
8. Add another algos to pools.
9. Start masternodes.

Thanks, hope that you will be able to update information once Bata goes multi-algo.

Yes thanks - but if there is a fee, I will have to decline.

We don't not have a progress of funds collected as we did not have a premine or ICO.

1% will be collected once MN's are live.

Yes once Masternodes are launched.

After various discussions, charts and scenerios we are unable to project how many miners will be mining Bata after the switch to multi-algo.
There will Dynamic block rewards (block reward is based on block height and difficulty) because of the multi-algo nature of the new wallet.

0.25 BTA will be set as the highest reward, which is configurable by spork and the limit can be disabled if need be.

Yes, we are currently having a discussion on Discord regarding rewards etc.

Here is a spread sheet with current rewards -

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RVZYajb3msIvDSVT8xuknpcyUjcldwIgzhY5irg0V1M/edit?usp=sharing

Keep in mind Bata's price is very low presently.

Increasing rewards will increase supply. More Masternodes mean less reward, therefore if supply / reward is increase collateral will also be required to increase.

Keep discussion constructive, present an idea, but you will need back it up with math.
