Hi dear BGL community!

If you intend to hold and own your BGL, then store your coins in BGL mainnet on cold wallet. This is most secure and reliable way. Bridge, pancakeswap are to provide means of exchange, the main function of wrapped tokens is to provide exchange and liquidity without CEXes.
The BSC blockchain is not fully decentralized (although it has many good points). Remember BTC's old saying, not your keys - not your coins, it stays true.

Hi dear community!

we're resuming BGL node incentive program:
Every week (1008 blocks) 10 nodes would be randomly picked and awarded $5 each.

https://bglcontest.bitaps.com/nodes (some fixes to the UI are pending and would be corrected)
Hourly updated list of nodes: https://bglcontest.bitaps.com/nodes_list

Payouts are now done automatically from address https://bgl.bitaps.com/bgl1qe66smvq80dclu6srtparcesj3np7wmlvfj3wzs

Hi dear community!

going with the numerous requests here, we have an offer from CEX to get listed, here's the details (below).
Who could lead this process? Please DM me and let's do it!

1. Select the listing package, then we will send you a contract for signing. Note that, the price for erc20 token and altcoin will be different. Please refer to the price column accordingly.

2. Process payment.

3. Submit necessary information for the listing integration.

    One of the core team members of the project will do these required steps:

    📍Step 1: Register an account on https://vindax.com/ + Pass KYC on https://vindax.com/. This guideline will help you to pass KYC: https://vindax.com/faq/how-to-complete-identity-verification.html

    📍Step 2: Register an account on https://info.vindax.com/. Submit full information required on this page. Guideline: shorturl.at/dDI19

    🔖Note:
    Use the same email for all steps;
    There must be two separate registrations because vindax.com and info.vindax.com are two separate sites.

Hi dear BGL community!

Hope you all had a good New Year holidays!

Post was updated, indeed the address belongs to Hotbit and a fellow BGL user, not the hacker, sorry about misjudging.


Fixed, see the post above.


See above.


Thank you for questions!
1. The tweeter was created was a community member and currently is not supported and I don't have access to it. We can create a new official twitter.
2. BGL NFT collection is an initiative of MyLuck (out community member), and let's hope the releases continue. Maybe demand is not very high.
3. We would like to make new exchange listing for coin on BGL mainnet, but currently we don't have a person to arrange that.
4. We have communicated with CMC with all the links included, probably they are still processing or mb that is not on their priority list.

Hello guys!

It appears that stolen funds were distributed between 2 addresses:

to Hacker's private address 250 k https://bgl.bitaps.com/bgl1qt5r7e8cr7uufpf3ga2azr46nzegmz5qxf6dnpu
  next 100k to bridge https://bgl.bitaps.com/bgl1qjyeaal24xmwwp8raga4f94hudag2myu3wap94h
    convert to 100k wbgl https://www.bscscan.com/token/0x2ba64efb7a4ec8983e22a49c81fa216ac33f383a?a=0xccd04ec601bf085d219db1c925af6ba9fd17b923
       and sold for $1.7k on pancakeswap
  and 142k to another private wallet https://bgl.bitaps.com/bgl1q6j8jt6uauqcw25m3ka6we63xqxfhezuxlkq5ey
     next he sent to bridge
        and convert to 142k wbgl https://www.bscscan.com/token/0x2ba64efb7a4ec8983e22a49c81fa216ac33f383a?a=0xfa9e1c0fad659f2d23b347077d5bd89a73cea3e4
           sold 50k wbgl for 890$ on pancakeswap https://bscscan.com/tx/0x7c26908b7078f1588f46f84d0078b13e6d1b5b316b7aad5514f1f930e60a31f6
            and sold last 50k on pancakeswap for $1000 https://www.bscscan.com/tx/0xf8dc2b51daab6dee9ab7c216737abbf67f48da12a4cf78d13860b52673454361

          

and
to Hotbit 200k bgl https://bgl.bitaps.com/bgl1qza8rdceqv3kjn5wh33lv3hss8mz57r53qgu8xt
Hotbit -> Bglfuture 32k https://bgl.bitaps.com/bgl1qz4x8362m9m36zjhthw5ctpxps323amyft8jt5y


Let's hope the hackers are white hats. I could offer bounty on the return of saved funds (we can count that as a security contribution to the project). Let's say 10-30% of current market value if the funds would be returned (to address bgl1q328ne2tpmm79hrj86uxa7xj62pqrjlsafrhj92).


The bridge has been patched and would resume normal operations shortly. Stuck transactions would be reimbursed too. I would keep you updated.

Hi dear BGL community!

Unfortunately I have to say that bridge wallet from BGL mainnet side was probably compromised, so the amount of around 450k BGL was transferred to hacker's wallet.
Guys are investigating the issue.

This is the biggest hack in all of the BGL's history. Contests are now paused due to these circumstances.

Don't be worried about the bridge funds, they would be reimbursed.

Hi dear BGL community!

We decided to stop tx contest, will explain why: network congestion was tested, we had full block or ~700 transactions in the block.
BGL blockchain passed a long-running stress-test.
Thanks for all participants!

Hi guys, Lightning Network technically should be supported by BGL as we are continuously syncing with BTC codebase and this feature should be present 'out of the box'.
Currently there is a space in the blocks for your tx to get there comfortably, so no urgent need for Lightning on BGL, but technically it is there.
Anyone could set up a payment channel if they want to, why not.



Thank you for the feedback and your support! The main problem is to find a proper person to take care of marketing, unfortunately the search still goes on (open for proposals here), but the activity is present nonetheless, check recent articles.
We are pretty consistent on providing updates at 2nd post in this thread, it's regularly updated, check it out:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5238559.msg54173808#msg54173808
Don't worry BGL is here to stay.

Hi guys,

I want to announce possible interesting changes to BGL that we plan to start working on following months,
as always, your thoughts and opinions are most valuable, please participate:
https://bitgesell.ca/download/bglips/bglip1.pdf

we are announcing this publicly too:
https://u.today/bitgesell-bgl-introduces-dynamic-block-size-for-more-efficient-tokenomics

if you want to join the project please participate in BGL GitCoin program https://gitcoin.co/issue/29030,
if you have model proposals for dynamic block size calculation, let's discuss here.

Guys be advised, Crex24 told us that they are going to close the exchange, please withdraw coins from Crex24 exchange

Hi dear community

I want to announce (and we can publicly confirm) this address to be the address with 'burnt' coins
in addition to the coins being burnt within tx fees.
So that anyone could burn a portion of coins on their own discretion (within a project activity, etc.)

The address is: bgl1q00000000000000000000000000000000tm54qt
(it is generated to be valid, last bytes are checksum, but no private key for it obviously)

Explorers and BGL Core could (and would) be eventually upgraded to count such coins burnt and out of circulation (I would ask our software contributors to take this address into consideration).

What are the features of this?
- we can count what amounts were sent to this address, from where for any period of time;
- we can create different mechanics on top of that: captcha mechanism to send some amount, contest-lottery "burn the ticket"  0.1 bgl = 1 ticket, DAO mechanics (who burns more in a period get more voting power or burn to create a proposal), burn can be a provable reputational merit (a factor of prestige, status as a luxury good, like expensive watch, car etc.)

Would like to see your opinions, ideas for contests, mechanics for this thing!

Hi dear community!

Could you help me please regarding this? A tier-1 media article about BGL is planned to be published soon please share ideas (preferably news-like it's more appropriate for the article format) what should be covered in it!

Hi dear community!

Two important updates:

1. There are questions about web wallet (bglwallet.io), here's the instruction, please share it with users across our channels:

Please be advised that old RPC endpoint went down, and it means that BGL web wallet
at bglwallet.io stopped sending transactions. Our fellow community members at bitaps came to help with this.

To fix wallet transaction sending, after logging in into wallet, in the top right there is a button labeled
"Node RPC", user should click on it and paste new RPC URL as following:
https://pool.bitaps.com/
and wallet would work again.

It would be great if someone would host RPC endpoint and share it publicly (it's basically a BGL Core node where RPC ports are opened)! Let's be more decentralized!

2. The bridge had to be moved and reconfigured at https://bglswap.com. There were also some issues fixed along the way. Please test responsibly, but even if something gets stuck, the new bridge maintainer would come to help.

Hi dear community!
Unfortunately, the old bridge bitgesell-bridge.com is down and we would be transitioning to new server, domain and maintainer for the bridge.
All 'stuck' bridged transactions should be returned back by now, please DM me here or on Discord if you have tx that wasn't returned..
I would keep you informed the new bridge is on the way.

I really like the result of the contest.
There is nice tx data https://bitgesellexplorer.com/tx-stats
Eventually more then 5k BGL was burned. 

Hi guys! A new cool contest is launched! we can call it "Burn mf burn"  !
new incentive reward program who like to hack things or want to understand more about BGL.
Every week (1008 blocks) 5 addresses would be randomly picked from top 100 addresses that in that week burned most coins by creating transactions.
Number of transactions doesn't matter, what matters is the most amount of burned BGL in tx fees.

The reward is BGL for $100 for each of 5 chosen addresses.
That's BGL for $500/week, $2000/month in rewards!
The list of winners would be updated here:
https://bglcontest.bitaps.com/burn

Payouts are done automatically from address https://bgl.bitaps.com/bgl1qe66smvq80dclu6srtparcesj3np7wmlvfj3wzs
Best of luck to everyone!

Hi guys, a crypto.com integration added
https://bitgesell.medium.com/bitgesell-bgl-s-rss-feed-integrated-with-crypto-com-price-page-6655277ad1a8

Hi dear community,

a question:
- Could you recommend, introduce or advise marketing agency or person to help with these activities in BGL project (or maybe even become the part of the team)

P.S. Congrats on 2nd halving!

Hey guys, please take a look at our new logo, branding and website

https://bitgesell.ca

 

more updates coming soon!
