14.7m BLK were burned.
http://blacknet.xyz/

CoinMarketCap were made aware of our symbol change from XTO to TAO as soon as it happened but require volume on two exchanges that they already list for it to show up. Two we are already on are Freiexchange and Novaexchange, we just need more volume on those and can get the CMC listing back really quickly.

As mentioned they are also aware of altmarket having responded after the initial application with detailed questions which we sent by return. Ball is in their court on that one.

The gatekeepers of crypto like CMC are ill equipped to handle a symbol change so I’ve found out. Even convincing Delta to consolidate our multiple entries has been a headache but either way, I am on a personal mission to get all this in order.

I used the 1.2.4 version to burn but get the following error:


My command was:

where pubkey was the pubkey generated on the blacknet website.

If I put the 10 in quotes will that fix it?

Is it safe to use the account generator and version 1.2.4 for Windows? 1.2.5.1 won't run on my BLK machine for some reason so want to be sure before burning anything that the Mac instructions will be fine in the corresponding Windows version?

Edit: Oops, misread this before responding previously. I have asked the dev to update the link. Coinmarketcap already has the taoexplorer.com one.

I think you underestimate their plans. Circle are backed by Goldman Sachs and their aim is to turn Poloniex into a fully legalised and regulated fiat exchange with multiple currency support - a direct competitor to coinbase, meaning onboarding noobs and generating a lot more interest in their offerings.

1.2.5 was released and is fully compatible with ongoing development of Lore which you can also use. Neither of these clients are breaking away from the “norm” as it stands tho Lore may move away and branch out eventually to continue to progress BLK. The blacknet or whatever rat4/dolittle is doing will be a totally different proposition but not a single line of code has been shown to exist yet.

Circle has bought Poloniex for $400m.

BLK has been listed on Polo since 2014, should receive some more attention once the institutionals start diversifying and Circle is a great in-road for them

I think it's worth noting that Blackcoin does still have active developers doing amazing stuff and have been doing so for years while the original guy who launched the coin faded into obscurity. Blackcoin is a pure community driven effort, a totally unique proposition in this day and age. And has proven itself over 4 years as reliable and solid. Maybe this thread will find some people who've never heard of it. It's worth getting involved, anyone can make a difference here.

How about explaining to the forum where this has come from and linking to the cool stuff? The OP there looks more half assed than rat4's in a way given how much we have to show off.

This checks out.

Yes, thanks to the guys who suspended the domain, I suspect email servers are having trouble resolving the originating domain so emails from it aren't getting passed on. And because there's no 'resend email' feature, our coins are in limbo.

I've already removed them from my holdings on blockfolio as written off. The support queue is full, they'll never get back to us on this one I'm sure.

Marked for delisting on C-CEX yet again!

Will mystery benefactor step in and churn the volume like usual?!

I've also been in BLK since the very first day and recent events feel appropriately timed.

From first hand experience helping where I can, Janko has pretty much single handedly pushed development work on for BLK for over 2 years. I would have no qualms whatsoever if he took the lead in its future.

If rat4/Dolittle's vision differs from Janko then we just need some clarification and input with a view to coming up with something everyone agrees with. If he remains quiet, he might have to build his dream himself without current support.

Maybe we should give rat4 a deadline to have explained what he meant so we're not hanging on for yet another year before major changes?

If you click the button to login rather than press enter it seems to work.

No, it is 64 seconds. It's a target so not exact but the target has been 64 seconds since PoS 3.
See the OP: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=469640.0

Sorry - meant to read 740,000, typo.

The block target is 64 seconds.

60 / 64 x 1.5 = 1.40625 generated per minute
x 60 = 84.375 per hour
x 24 = 2025 per day
x 365.25 (taking into account leap years) = 739,631.25 per year.

Current supply: 76,603,031 BLK

100,000,000 - 76,603,031 / 739,631.25 = 31.633288885508826 years to reach 100m coins.

There’s no hard limit but the inflation is fixed at around 740,000 coins a year. So while we’re at 76 million coins today, it will take until around the year 2050 to reach 100 million.

The link works. Submissions are manually approved in batches so you just need to be patient.

There is no fixed percentage.

The reward for staking is 1.5BLK + tx fees. This is fixed. The block target is 64 seconds.

The likelihood of you being the staker in any block and earning 1.5BLK is dependent on the amount of coins you hold in your wallet (your weight) vs the total number of coins which are being staked (network weight). Think of it like a lottery where the number of tickets you hold increase the chance of you winning the prize in a competition which has to have a winner and that restarts every 64 seconds.

This varies over time so there's no definitive answer. Generally speaking though people earn between 5-8% a year if staking 24/7/365.
