After a few adjustments we have been testing the new wallet again. We have changed it from the old style wallet to a new style wallet that will more easily allow for additional features in the coming months. We have added the block explorer to the wallet this time and redesigned the colour scheme and logo. We will have the new style wallets version 1.1.0 out for download in a few days for all platforms.

There are further features planned to be implemented in future versions.

I just tested the Mac wallet and it crashes straight away:

Exception Type:        EXC_BREAKPOINT (SIGTRAP)
Exception Codes:       0x0000000000000002, 0x0000000000000000

I'm running OSX 10.10.3

Thats excellent but the Mac is not there yet 

Help get Bitz to Bittrex:

Tweet:

@BittrexExchange need to add #Bitz @bitz_currency - new PoS only #cryptocurrency with long time support and plans for the future #bitcoin

and retweet my tweets...

New wallets are being tested and will be out soon...

No, Bitz is as anonymous as any other crypto like Bitcoin. It depends on what you mean. There is no focus on 'hiding' transactions or 'hiding' your IP. I believe the so called anonymity features of some coins are just hype and a fad. Although the Bitz ledger (blockchain) is public (block explorer) like say, Bitcoin and Litecoin nobody watching the blockchain will have information on who is sending to who and most importantly WHY?

So, even if a snooper of some description saw that, say 10,000 Bitz, were sent to an address, say BDVVLfpVbcjsMzKQacWnQFK37iLcCjGqpU he would have no information whatsoever who actually sent it and why. This information is only available if the two parties making the transaction make it public. If the snooper had the means he could trace the IP maybe but bear in mind that an IP do not identify a person.

Anonymity is relative anyway, so if the powers that be put all their resources into tracing you my guess is that they would be able to even if you used anonymity features. You will remember that many so called 'dark web' sites on the Tor network were traced recently and that there are numerous examples of very high level hacking and breaking of various encryption probably by a state power. Also, do not expect the state powers to reveal what they can and can't do. If they are able to break encryption they WILL NOT tell you.

So, in my view the question you have to ask yourself is; are my activities of such a nature that may attract the attention of the FBI, NSA, MI5 etc. and are my activities of such a nature that would prompt said agencies to spend a hell of a lot of money and resources to track me down? If the answer to the above is yes, I suggest that it is not safe to use any crypto to conduct your affairs. I guess that's why most serious criminals still use the most anonymous of all payments methods; cash!

If you are doing 'normal' stuff don't worry, anonymity is hyped up and the vast majority of people do not need it because they are of no interest to the law enforcement community. They are not going to spend a lot of money tracing random people.

I want Bitz to be above board and I feel that a drive towards anonymity (that I have explained is relative anyway) only reinforces the view of the masses that crypto is dodgy and that people are using it to hide their shady activities. I don't buy into the civil liberties argument in relation to cryptos either as they are all 'anonymous enough' for anything that isn't terrorism, murder or high value international drug trafficking etc.

Your views?

Why can't the dev just compile the 0.10. wallets and get them out? I am still short of 25 UNO that I can't access

There was no premine but due to an oversight with the difficulty the first 3000 blocks, i.e around 105,000 Bitz were mined very fast, probably by Shadow_runner or someone solo mining at the start. They didn't all go to one person at least. I don't think thats a big problem now though, the network is stable and running fine. If you have a look at the rich list it's obvious that some people are sitting on quite a few Bitz but I suspect that once we get wider adoption they will start to dump to cash in and the Bitz will spread and then the value will slowly climb, thats what I think...

I have now locked the voting for operating systems and the results are:
MS Windows - 25 (86.2%)
Mac OSX - 1 (3.4%) - Thats me! 
Linux - 3 (10.3%

I guess that's telling. We'll do another vote soon...

We have been testing the new Windows wallet version 1.1.0 today  and a beta will be out soon, maybe today or tomorrow. Not sure if we are to release the windows first or wait for the rest of the set of wallets.

I have also been in communication with some payment processors and potential merchants and I get the same feedback, that Bitz has promise and that it looks good but the liquidity is low and there is little trade. This is what stops Bitz from being adopted at the moment. So, we need more trade and get onto Bittrex etc. The best way to to do this is for everyone holding Bitz to connect on Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest and to spread the word. I hope the new wallets and website will add to the community.

So, if you have a Facebook account or Pinterest account then find us and connect.

I believe it was more a wondering in regards to the long term value of Bitcoin, whether the fact that there are trillions of units (I knew that they were called 'Satoshi') will impact on the value. Sorry I left a zero out and maybe it was a stupid way to put the question, the account is not sold however.

How many Bitcoins really exists? It was just a question

I found the Tx ID and it looks like it's just gone through today.



I do not know why this happened. I suggest that you generate new addresses as the address you used was created before the hard fork and it's possible that this may be the reason. It looks like it's been resolved now? Can you check again with C-Cex if that was their address.

Can you copy and paste the Tx ID please

Double click on the transaction and give me a screenshot and copy and paste the Tx ID please for this transaction.

It is not showing on the blockchain for that address:

I am getting a bit frustrated as I have 25 UNO that I sent from Cryptsy that I cannot access and I am waiting for an update but no news on when the Mac wallet will be available.

I just sent 0.02 BTC for 50 votes to get Bitz added to the GoUrl.io payment system. If you want to increase the value of Bitz please vote at GoUrl.io https://gourl.io/coin-voting.html
If we all come together, a small contribution to get Bitz added will increase the likely hood of Bitz being added to the larger exchanges and increase the value of your Bitz.

Can I install the Linux wallet and import my wallet.dat file from Mac? or import my keys to the Linux wallet?

Was this a first run after an install? A reboot might resolve the library issue, or a reinstall of the wallet. Try to backup the wallet.dat (but it looks like it's empty anyway) and just get rid of the wallet software and install again as a first measure.

It's probably a C++ library issue

Let me know if that works
 

What version wallet are you running? 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a

I'll see what I can do. Hang on...

Anyone else have this problem?
