Quick development update:

Most of the code changes are done for the new wallet. Right now I'm testing the current chain on a local testnet to switch to PoSv3 and see if everything works as wanted.
I'm aiming for a wallet release early Q3 2017, the website will be updated around the same time.
Exact date and hard fork block height will be communicated in time and we will coordinate with the exchanges to update their wallets before the hard fork.

There are a couple interesting ideas mentioned in our slack channel. ( https://sprnt.slack.com/messages/bitstar/ ) that are worth investigating once we've released the new wallet.

 

Hi Bitstar Community!

Let me introduce myself. I'm the wallet coder of Bitstar Coin.
Bitstar_coin can confirm, as so can a couple of others that were in the Bitstar channel on supernet slack ( http://slackinvite.supernet.org/ ) last night ( GMT+1 ) when I outed myself as being the wallet dev.

I thought it's about time I personally 'show' myself to the community, as we're facing a new phase of Bitstar. This is my attempt to open better communication towards you, our community.

What we've been working in the last couple weeks / months:

Researching and a lot of testing to replace the current wallet codebase with something new. Our goal was to swap the code, and keep the blockchain intact. As we didn't want to do any coinswap.
A nice challenge, in which I am very confident we will succeed in.

Current state of this new code base:

The wallet completely syncs from scratch, and works with the current wallet.dat file. First phase success!
Next is the PoS part. That's where we're currently working on, merging our current wallets' PoS code with the new codebase.
Not fully functional yet, but we're getting close. And I'm going to keep you all updated on the progress.

Meanwhile we're also working on a new website

I can only say, we're working as hard as we can.
