Edit: Bounty is finished, so it is too late to join it.

Most of the facebook campaign participants didn't report that they posted anything during this period and many of those who did had "ad fest profile" which means that their posts and shares to their facebook profile aren't counted. Only their replies and and likes.


I'm sorry Heidim that you misunderstood the new rule which caused you to stop posting about other bounties but we never asked you to stop posting about other bounties. I have now clarified the new rule from "during any 48 hour period", which is the same as "during any 48 period in the lifetime of your twitter account". It's not easy to write such sentences in a way that no one will misunderstand them, sorry for the misunderstanding.

Please ensure that Bitcoin 2 Core is fully synced first. (Tools - Info should report Current number of Blocks: 62417 or more.) If that doesn't help, we'll have a look. Please use the contact form at https://www.bitc2.org/contact to tell the public addresses that didn't work for you and if you want, the one private key. First u can ensure that there is no BTC balance in it anymore.

That rule meant during any period including before the whole bounty even began (but in practice during recent month(s)). The change was necessary to distinct twitter accounts whose tweets actually get read by plenty of people vs. tweets of users that don't really get read a lot. Yes now even without incoming connections enabled you can get 8 - 9 outgoing connections/peers.

The number of UTXOs, or unspent transaction outputs (incoming transactions) matters, not how many addresses. And if you have more than 60 BTC2 then you can split it into at least a few addresses or incoming transactions. Each one could for example have 30 BTC2. The difference between doing this optimization and not doing it can be small in the end.

Alright thank you. Noted.

We'll need to do that and lots of other marketing starting around the time when we're ready for exchanges.

BTC2 doesn't have it yet. It's in the road map.

It would prevent blockchain analysis teams from linking BTC2 addresses to IP addresses. Letting those who want privacy to use their normal internet connection instead of Tor or VPN.

You can already achieve total privacy with zBTC2 + VPN or Tor however.

I think Coinomi doesn't currently let you stake any of the crypto currencies that it supports.

At the moment you can get 20+ peers if you enable incoming connections.

If you see only a few peers, it is because your router or firewall blocks incoming connections, as does that of most others. You should see more than 15 if not.
Most home routers have NAT that by default blocks incoming connections initiated by someone else than you. You can usually fix that and start allowing incoming connections with one of two ways:

A) Launch Bitcoin 2 Core, go to Settings - Options. Go to Network. Enable: "Map port using UPnP". Then restart the app. You may also want to read this article: https://dirkmittler.homeip.net/blog/archives/3340

B) Or follow the guide at: https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node#enabling-connections - the steps are exactly the same for Bitcoin 2.

Multisend is an advanced feature that is not useful for most people. You can read more about it by clicking Settings - Multisend.

Yes, all campaigns are. Welcome.

Yes, all campaigns except for reddit and facebook have been paid out. Next up will start working on the remaining two.

Alright, no problem, noted.

If there's a third party wallet this quarter, most likely only the first one would have enough time to integrate Bitcoin 2 this quarter. Mobile wallets won't support staking this year due to background processes getting killed and eating up battery and reducing the average quality of the network's nodes. This may change later.

You must mean that a part of it got autominted. You can disable the automint setting in the Settings - Options. The point of zBTC2 is privacy. It is same as the normal BTC2 except that it currently cannot stake (but can in the future), and you can send it truly anonymously whereas the normal BTC2 is no more anonymous than BTC. You can read about it more at: https://bitc2.org/zBTC2-Bitcoin-2-Zerocoin-Protocol


The web-based block explorer will be finished soon. It is practically speaking required to be finished and live before exchange listings and third party wallets. So we may still complete the Q2 goals on-time. Mobile wallets, if they come this quarter, would initially be third party wallets however, such as Coinomi.

In this case, means that it will be counted soon.

Alright sure.

You need to make at least 10 countable posts per week to get the stakes for that given week. (The week for you started on April 15). So for the April 15 - April 28 period you didn't, but April 29 to May 28 to be counted and if you made enough posts on at least one of the weeks, then paid tomorrow.

Orphans happen on proof of stake more often than in proof of work but it doesn't matter. As soon as your wallet realizes it created an orphan it will resume staking with that same amount as if it never happened. Any transactions that went into an orphan block just go back into the memory pool.

And the smaller the block interval, the more orphans. (if 1 block created per minute like in Bitcoin 2, then orphans are more likely than if just 1 block created per 10 minutes like in Bitcoin).

We could hide the orphans from ever showing on your transactions list like some other wallets do, but then you wouldn't know that you came close to creating a valid block and you wouldn't know that there's something that you might possibly be able to do to get at least a little less orphans. It is best to just not care about the orphans once you've already tried the ways we mentioned earlier that help getting less of them. Also, showing the orphans is a good indicator because if some day you're not getting any orphans and are creating more blocks than normal, in such a case you could be forked and would need to take action to unfork yourself. So having those orphan blocks showing up is helpful.

EDIT: As far as some orphaned block becoming valid a day or more later: Technically it doesn't. That block is a new block that you minted that just happens to have the same staking transaction. (Uses the same UTXO to stake.) Your wallet displays it like that because the orphan block's transaction is still in your wallet. If you zap wallet transactions (Tools - wallet repair - Recover transactions), you would see the correct time stamp (this is optional). Before zapping transactions it's always a good idea to make another backup of the wallet.dat. This is a display-only bug that has no actual negative effects apart from the confusing way that the transaction gets displayed in your wallet's transaction history. Added to the programmers' todo list to fix it.

That's ok, no problem.
