We passed HRMC we are waiting on the Howey Test results before we contact Bittrex.  We are also in talks with WavesDEX to get us listed on there by using their WavesGO platform and integrating it with our BiT API.

Hello,

Please remove /upload from the link and it will work.  Was this a new reset link or an old one?  The new link shouldn't have that in there.

Lmao is it a sin to be proud of the community not being filled with assholes?

Too funny

Everybody has their preferences and we got multiple requests for a Discord chan.  Some people refuse to use slack and visa versa.  Our communities require very little moderation because of the awesome people we have in them.  So it's really no extra work, plus I actually prefer Discord over slack. 

We are working on a web wallet which will have BiT API integration.  That's on the top of our todo list, the Android app will most likely come in the form of a modified web wallet.

ADC is being developed along-side Blockpool.  Either tomorrow or the next day we will be releasing our first version of the BiT API which is currently being integrated into www.aurovine.com.  We are also working on our Smart Contracting and Sidechains.  Audiocoin will become one of the first Blockpool Sidechains and will thus, benefit from all that the Blockpool Masterchain and sidechains have to offer.

Hello,

If you could please submit a ticket to https://www.blockpool.io/Blockpool_Support/index.php and I will take a look the first chance I get.

Yeah, unfortunately this is a problem with slack itself.  Majority of the crypto related slack channels have this sort of thing going on.  We are banning the bots as people report them.  They never seem to message me so I never know when something like this is going on until it's been reported.

I have been mulling over creating a Blockpool Discord as an alternative.

Hello,

I see the tokens in your BPL account.  I'm honestly not sure why they don't show up on your profile so I will look into that.  I will send out your tokens today.

Hello Fortune,

I took a look and your tokens were sent out during last nights distro.  The Bounty units will remain there as a method for us to make a correction if needed so you can ignore that.

"It’s probably been a little too long since our last public statement, but things have just been crazy here since the TEC and all very much in a positive way. Since the TEC, we agreed that for us to raise the profile of Blockpool we should plan to release news in a structured strategic way that will help us achieve maximum impact that will ultimately result in value of the company rising. This was always the plan. This still is the plan. However, to do this strategically it takes a little time, negotiation and planning to execute effectively so each piece if news builds on the last.

But we are nearly there, and believe you me if you have any interest in Blockpool it will be well worth waiting for.

Prior to the TEC we had already started to build a healthy pipeline with some interesting people but everyone was under NDA for commercial reasons as I am sure you can understand. However, there has indeed been progress and what we can say is that there will be some significant announcements in the following areas coming very soon that I am now allowed to disclose without naming any names:

1. Grassroots sports – we are partnering with a Global based sports app that will allow you to track and reward grassroots sports teams and be rewarded yourself for doing so.

1. Music - 2 projects:

                          I.          An events/entertainment production company running a UK wide annual song-writing competition who require blockchain technology to compliment their unique voting software to enhance the users/participants experience.

                         II.          An established global music artist who is renowned for embracing technology will be one of the first major artists to allow the public to buy their album with crypto-currency. This is phase 1. The bigger picture is for the artist to go 100% crypto.


This is part 1 of the announcement look out for part 2 soon."

We do have plans to get onto an exchange but the recent turmoil over in China and the influx of ERC20 tokens has made this a challenge I didn't quite expect.  One thing that does help is community involvement when it comes to exchange listings.  Ask them about listing BPL via twitter, slack, Discord, email, their support systems, anyway you can think of. 

I have already put in requests to all of the major exchanges, including the Chinese just in case.  I am waiting on a translation of my application so I can submit it to the Korean, Malaysian and Indian exchanges.  I will also be resubmitting a Chinese translated version of the application.  But community involvement moves exchanges much more than a developer request does.  It shows excitement and a need to trade the token.

Bittrex Exchange:  We are still waiting on the Howey Test to come back from our accountants.  As soon as that comes in and we have the green light I will be contacting Bittrex to get us listed there.

Android is on our list but because phones get changed out so frequently and thus, its VERY easy to lose your passphrase.  We are working on a way to create some kind of redundancy so Android and BPL wallet users can easily recover their passphrase in the case of a catastrophic event.  We plan to use the BiT API for this.

All bounties have been distributed base on my current knowledge.  Your bounty balance was added to your BPL total before withdraw.  If you feel there is a mistake or a bounty did not get sent to you that should have please put in a support ticket at https://www.blockpool.io/Blockpool_Support/index.php

Thank you!

Hi bittraffic,

I will be working on tutorials very shortly here. They will be posted on our forums and eventually migrated to our wiki when that is finished. In the meantime you can go to our github and the readme provides step by step instructions for setting up a node. https://github.com/blockpool-io 

Hello Everyone!


I apologize about the delay in responses here on BCT.  I would like to provide some updates on the project and what we have accomplished since the Masterchain went live and distribution began.  


****Update****

We have a framework for how a customer will initiate a smart contract and sidechain via the BiT API.  In order to prevent bloat the smart contract will be a hashed code stored on the blockchain, the BiT API will call the specific block and hashed code.  There will be two kinds of smart contracts to start.  For lack of a better term at this point im going to call them the Genesis Masterchain Smart Contract (GMcSC) and the Genesis Sidechain Smart Contract (GScSC).  These two will be used to control the flow of delegates from one sidechain to another.  We will be editing our node software to manage these additional chains.  The GMcSC will be the verifying object ensuring that all customer requirements are within acceptable parameters for creating a sidechain and that the infrastructure is ready to handle it.

We do have a method to move delegates from one sidechain to another in a queued fashion.  We want to make sure that a delegate never misses their opportunity to forge on the main chain or misses a block on a sidechain in the rare occasion a delegate is scheduled to forge for two chains at once.  While this is possible, for the first iteration we will manage it so a replacement delegate is found for the sidechain and will look into co-forging for a later version.

Each SC creator will be required to manage their own bloat.  We will be offering two types of development options to assist developers in their SC creation.  The SC creator will have the option for have a reviewless system, completely open to the public where the developer is responsible for everything and a github like repository where the community can provide code review.  
A sidechain will come at a pretty hefty cost.  Which the delegates will receive a portion of.  We want to encourage actual development of real applications on our sidechains, and discourage ETH esk tokens that do nothing besides sit there and look pretty.

Raj is going to look into the bad actor ban.  He thinks the code is already in our version but it may not cover the exact scenario we discovered today.  So he is looking into that.

And we want to make things easy for the nodes so we are working on a node updater as well.  This is still in early development and we need a method that informs the delegate (person) that there is an update ready for install without compromising security.
That way we can keep everyone up to date, won't need to worry about reconfiguring anything and most manual work is taken out of the equation.

We have 2fa installed on the site just need to enable it and make sure the plugin doesn't bonk anything for investors.

Business side.  This is a difficult one as there is a TON I want to update you on but legally can't due to NDAs.  One thing I can say is we have been receiving consistent requests for sidechains which is increasing the pressure on us to get those out and ensure that they are working as designed.  These are not small companies, I'm talking about.  They are multimillion dollar behemoths so everything has to be correct when we launch these.  Kevin has been having non-stop meetings.  In one case a single meeting turned into 8 the next day when he was in LA.  We will be returning to LA around the 26th and I will be joining Kevin and Ken in the meetings.

****Additional Announcements****

Our support system is now live at https://www.blockpool.io/Blockpool_Support/index.php

Forums are soon to follow.

Well running a node helps provide further decentralisation, plus you will receive 5% interest on your entire balance including your voted balance as well.  Rewards begin in about a week and half.

There are a few options.  Either wait for an exchange (we are in contact with several at the moment) or you can wait for our Mobile wallet which will begin development shortly.
