This coin is 100% dead. Nothing is happening. No announcements. No nothing. DEAD

Hi mate - Yea we're still going!  No intention of giving up, we'll get there one day

Yea development of the new wallets is taking a bit longer than expected, sorry about that. In the meantime things are being done behind the scenes.

Once the new wallets are ready we can move forward with things.

Hello folks, allow me to introduce myself as a new Britboy helping out with press & P.R.

My credentials include working for the BBC World Service in the 90s & as a NYSE reporter in the 00s. Until recently I ran a jazz and chamber music record label and London concert series. I am semi retired and spend most of my time playing poker, trading crypto currencies and mining Burst.

Here are a few of the ideas I've discussed with Will7am and I welcome any feedback you have on them. Although I'm aware Brit is a technical marvel with it's ecological proof of stake, 0.5% interest etc... it needs other qualities to distinguish itself from the 600+ alt coins out there. Best achieved, I reckon, by association with fundamental British values like justice & fair play, free speech & democracy. Amnesty International was founded in Britain, we could set them up a wallet for donations. We might also do the same for key UK charities like NSPCC, RSPCA etc.

Obviously wallet downloading and usage is our top priority and increased public awareness of Brit is critical to achieve that. With Brexit in full swing the timing is excellent for media stories we can infiltrate to gain exposure. So as key Brexit events horizon we should be looking to get press, perhaps starting with 23rd June, our so-called ‘Independence Day’.

Identify with the British sense humour. First thing I did when I came across Britcoin was smile. Although I said we should ride Brexit, I'd rather do it in a Pythonesque manner than a UKIP assault. An independent Britain needs an independent currency! (Stole that T-shirt idea off Will7am). Long term we might hope the BBC enables red nose donations via Britcoin, but short term could we find a cash strapped comedy outfit that needs a wallet - something like Shit-faced Shakespeare!

A faucet to get free Brits - Will is working on getting us onto cryptogiveaways.org. Free stuff always attracts attention.

If we could get a renowned British restaurant to accept Britcoin that would be cool. I'll try my posh local fish & chips place, Geales. You should all get out there and try your favourite eateries - anything from full fry-up type cafes to Ottolenghis and gastro pubs. Obviously a mobile wallet will help here.

A couple of the more wacky ideas I had are borrowing Marvel Comic's Captain Britain as a publicity image, at least until their lawyers take notice and a tie up with Trump coin during the Donald's visit later this year.

So I'm happy to be aboard the good ship Brit, look forward to exchanging ideas with you, and hopefully add some value to this coin.
ATB, Richard

No updates on that as of yet sadly, we're trying to ensure we stay on C-Cex for now but we will eventually get on bittrex/polo.

But in some more positive news I'm happy to announce we've got a new Press Officer for Britcoin, Richard.  I'm not sure he has an account on this forum but I'll ask and hopefully he can make a quick introduction.

I just noticed that Brit is on cryptomate, I saw the price was $4.20 I thought WTF? then I seen it was for 1000

Nice we got a fiat option for brit now.

General update - 23rd March 2017

Wallet development

Thanks to the BRIT community on being patient about these.  We cannot release new mobile or desktop wallets yet because they depend on an Electrum server, and there's a bug in the Britcoin Electrum server where it becomes unresponsive after a while.  We're still trying to sort this out but hope to have it done soon.

Due to the time lost to this bug, the new desktop wallet will just be a 'Lite' Electrum wallet of the kind you've seen in some other coins, rather than than an entirely new beast.  (We need to get a desktop wallet with SPV functionality and deterministic addresses completed as per the roadmap before the end of the period for which the investor gave funding.)  So you'd have a choice between our standard TOR-using desktop wallet that downloads the blockchain and stakes, or the Lite wallet that isn't on TOR by default and can't stake, but doesn't need to download the blockchain.

There is also a new version of the standard desktop wallet due for release with a small tail emission and minor visual improvements, as soon as we can manage to get it compiled for Windows and Mac.

Website

We have a new website at Britcoin.com; check it out!  You'll note it also links to a paper wallet and brain wallet generator (Services->Offline Storage).  Be very careful with brain wallets -- It's easy for a computer to try so many different phrases to guess your passphrase and take your coins.

Exchanges

It is expected that we will be added to the UK fiat->crypto gateway Cryptomate next week.  Please support the buy walls on C-Cex and CoinExchange to help give buyers more predictable and reasonable prices!

Updated the OP a little bit and fixed that broken image

Hmm,  that does change things.

Trex still a viable option? It will be interesting to see if they still have some Brit in their old wallet.

It's going to take a long time before 30m available supply is reached.  So with that in mind I'm going to say 0.05%, unless you can think of a reason why that's too low/high



Thanks Peter

I'm hoping to get BRIT trading on livecoin.net soon, the listing fee is 2 BTC so I have to justify the cost before moving forward.  Hopefully if things go to plan it will be listed sometime next week, then I will get BRIT/GBP trading on Cryptomate.co.uk.  This will hopefully give Britcoin a bit more accessibility, since we'll have GBP/EUR/BTC deposit options, rather than just c-cex.

It's really nice and has a level of attention to detail that's lacking in lots of coins. I love it!

The explorer (britchain) seems to be down btw, not sure who controls that.

Fantastic work mate. Britcoin all the way!

Some screen shots of the new Britcoin.com official website:

Dear Britcoin Team

Over the last few years I have tried to contribute to the world of cryptocurrency with ideas and tried to help others, in doing so I have hurt the feelings of good people. Many of the posts were made in haste and without forethought not only causing suffering for good people here, but also people who may have read, or been insulted by them.

I am genuinely very sorry for any pain or suffering I have caused, I just wanted to help, I am sorry.

Regards

Nick

BRIT was my first real big rent-mining win so I've always got a soft spot for it.

Unfortunately, it is marked for delisting from C-Cex, which means it will be without a marketplace to trade at.

I'll do what I can to get it listed elsewhere...

Good to hear.  I totally agree with the need to launch looking right and with perfect copy etc.  I'm going to be going to France for a few weeks later this month where I can get a lot of dev work done, in isolation.  Will make sure the new official website is my top priority while there.

And I live in a shared house in case any burglars are reading this lol

sounds all good, nice to see there is progress and active development.

but most importantly imo, is to get brit listed on a legit exchange.
c-cex is all scam run by thieves. coins go missing and tickets never replied to
