Hiya folks, sorry I've been gone a while, busy with my job/USD work as of late... But, hey I'm still running wallets (masternodes and staking) here too, 24/7...
A couple of things though...
1. It seems folks have been scripting requests to the faucet, which has seriously outpaced the earnings from the underlying wallet staking for a while... So, now the faucet's balance is 0 8bit... So, it's dead... If the community at large see's the faucet as valuable, we're going to need to get some donations going to the faucet... That said, let's discuss this a bit before anyone jumps into donations for the wallet, as some new script-proof code would be a good idea before we relaunch things.
2. I still don't code C for shit, but I'm more than happy to help with the efforts to relaunch the wallet with new code. 18 years designing and building UNIX/Linux networks has given me some valuable skills. So, assuming there's interest, I'm more than happy to apply those IT and project management skills to the 8bit ecosystem in any way I can.
As recently said here, this is an absolute gem of an altcoin. The potential here is still absolutely amazing, it just requires a realistic amount of work behind the scenes to get things rolling again... Is there any interest in getting the real players here together (slack, irc, zoom, whatever!) and hammering out a road-map, goals, accountability/rewards, and timelines to get this all back on-track? Bueller?
Always willing to help....I will send some 8 bit to the faucet tomorrow. OK, Sent.... |

Thanks for your donations and patience folks! Soooo, after taking several days to resync the wallet powering the 8bit faucet, we are back on the air!! There are going to be some improvements and effort put into this little project, but don't hesitate to claim your free $8bit now!! 8bit.netspecto.com |

Sorry folks, but the faucet is offline again for a day or three... The machine was DDoS'd by some script kiddies who stumbled onto a weakness in the version of apache I WAS using, and the whole damn thing crashed... Annnnnd, the wallet powering the faucet was corrupted in the process... Ugh. That said, I'm generally good about backups and such, and thus no funds or anything were lost. But, once again, even with the bootstrap file, it's going to be a little bit before the blockchain is reloaded. I've written a better backup script, so now if needs be, I can restore the blockchain much faster, but, alas this recent adventure has beaten me to implementing it. Now that we're all past that... I have a question for you all, I feel stupid for asking this one, but I guess this just hasn't come up for me as of yet. So, I decided to pull the profits from a masternode to my staking node (this is all my personal stuff, not the faucet), that went fine... But, after rebuilding the masternode, and attempting to send 112 8bit back to it from the staking node, it failed twice with the following entries in the log. CommitTransaction() : Error: Transaction not valid After restarting the staking node, I tried a third time, and it sent just fine, and ONLY the expected 112 8bit arrived at the masternode. So, all seemed to be well... Until I noticed my staking node's total balance was down 336 8bit instead of the expected 112. Is there a timeout of sorts at which point I might expect my coins that failed to send to be returned? Are my coins gone? I'd hate to think it's possible to lose money by attempting to transfer 8bit between two wallets I own... |

Start your wallet with -salvagewallet to get them back immediately. Google for side effects of -salvagewallet. Are my coins gone?

They are not gone. To make them gone you would have to send them to address you do not control. |

Is this coin considering re-branding? It might get more attention and a finally a rise in price.

Myself and others certainly have some ideas for the future of this coin... And with the love for retro gaming out there, I think there's certainly room for the current branding out there. That said, a new wallet update, and some partnerships with that gaming world would certainly go a long way to grow the price. But hey, no one has this perfectly... If you've got a great idea for the direction of this adventure, let's hear it... Maybe there's something we're not considering! wallet please! Sorry, what is it you're looking for? The wallet is available for download at www.8-bit.party. Was there something specific we can help you with? |

Try again later, eventually we will provide a mirror. As I've only ever started with the source code and ran it on Linux I don't have those files. But, if someone wants to send me those precompiled Windoze and Mac files I'll be happy to throw them on my VPS where I'm hosting the 8bit faucet anyway. |

I'm sorry for the delay folks... But, the 8bit faucet is back on the air!
It literally took a solid week to sync the blockchain. (we really need to start working on this)
Please, come and get your free 8bit!!
Also, never did get a response about hosting the windows and mac wallet downloads... Any interest there? I can't help but think providing these binaries to new users can't be anything but good... Let me know.

I'm guessing 8 bit party can answer that... |

8Bit price on YoBit went to 0.0018 BTC ($1.24). Any reason it would go so high? It is still low on Bittrex.

Id like to know more about this project but coming in as a latecomer means reading 200 pages?
Can someone give me the history of 8bit and its future plans in a tldr.

Yeah that would be nice. Looks like this Coin still has life.. however there is NO Website that we can find. Does anybody
have any connection to the Development team?
