Yes, doesn't seem to work though.

It's alt-season again. I hope the useless meme tokens without their own blockchain (Doge is not one of them) will stop sucking dollars from gamblers, there's plenty of better ways to gamble in the crypto world.

A fiat gateway for EUR/CHF bank transfer conversions to BTC2 has been fully released now! You can find it at https://www.bitc2.org. Support for converting BTC2 to EUR/CHF with the same method is coming soon.

You may now use Caldera as an automated middle man for OTC trades at ⁠💱otc-trades in our Discord channel at https://discord.gg/nKWxnXV - between BTC2 and BTC/ETH/USDT/BUSD etc. It is an easy to use Discord bot. They take 2.5% from each side as a commission. Same risks as with any smaller exchange, but trades are quick to land in your wallet and you don't need an account at any exchange to use it.

The one by Komodoplatform?

The airdrop was finished and AFAIK 10 winners were rewarded with 100 BTC2 each (total 1000) by XT Exchange.

AIRDROP - We made a deal with XT.com so that they would be hosting an airdrop with 1000 BTC2 prize pool to share. Details: https://twitter.com/XTexchange/status/1643146470625779713

Yes there will, but as we are now working part-time instead of full-time like before, they come slower unless/until there's more traction/users/volume that can help support full-time work. So perhaps now more focus will go
towards things that bring traction/users/volume faster. We can work part-time for free or even at a loss, full-time requires a bit better than that.

BTC2 deposits are now enabled at XT exchange. Trading will begin 23 hours from now.

The fiat gateway is currently being worked on. It just requires a lot of programming work before beta release, although it is well on its way.

No more halvings coming. Masternode still requires 1000 BTC2 as always. Reward per block is 0.15 BTC2 for staker. 0.05 BTC2 for masternode. But masternodes to date have always earned more due to more frequent rewards.
Current yield:
Masternode: 17.29%
Staking BTC2: 8.65%

Welcome back mate!

On the website first.

True, but BTC2 is still listed in 3 other exchanges that do work so the next step, unless something changes significantly, is to upgrade rather than add an option. There's some steps being taken behind the scenes towards a fiat gateway which leads me to think that it could come before another traditional exchange listing, and a higher tier exchange listing is of course aimed for as well. However we're not planning to negotiate for a hasty listing in another mediocre exchange.

Our DNS seeder nodes have been upgraded so anyone who recently had trouble connecting to the Bitcoin 2 network on a new installation/node, won't have that trouble anymore.

@SVORa, your suggestions are welcome. Everything takes time.

The road map was updated both on this thread and the website.

Made progress on all of it and all of it will be released at the same time for public testing most likely. Not yet sure how soon is that.

Screenshots of the upcoming new wallet version.

Also a recent announcement:

We have decided to go with the most common privacy/transaction obfuscation method for the time being. CoinJoin, powered by masternodes.

It is not the best, but it is accepted by exchanges and regulators more likely than any other privacy technology because even some Bitcoin wallets like Wasabi use it.

We plan on sticking to it at least until Zcash’s upcoming Halo has been battle tested for long enough or Firo improves Lelantus further and has battle tested the yet to be released version long enough.

FTX app (AKA Blockfolio) now shows Stakecube trading pairs for BTC2 as well.
