[mastertrader777]

block explorer?

well, the block explorer mentioned in OP does not work.

Block Explorer: http://8bit.website:1888/

Do we have 2 chains for 8Bit actually? Just wondering my coins from Cryptopia to Bittrex never arrived.

The takeover for free dev 8bitparty dropped the ball...

Well he never actually had the ball to begin with...

8bit is dead.

are the rumors true about polo add this week? hmmm

Hiya folks, sorry for some slow replies, I've been busy at work for the last few days.

Ok, where to start...

MTR - While I'm certainly not 8-bit-party (I'm not sure what "proof" you're asking for, but, read some history in this thread, he and I don't always see eye-to-eye, and if he made me up, it's been quite the ruse, considering it goes back a year and a half... I'm also under the impression we live on opposite sides of the globe, and no offense 8-bit-party, but I'm not sure English is his first language.  so I can most easily assure you, we're very different people.)  BUT, I'm also not willing to totally blow off his efforts to date, which have happened, and are NOT without value, regardless as to if you and he are prone to arguments, so, if 8-bit-party wants to continue helping, I'm happy to have it, just as I'm not willing to blow off the potential value you may offer either...
You are absolutely correct, there are absolutely 100 things that the 8bit community/ecosystem needs, and while I'm happy to have whatever realistic help we can attract.  (I do have an organized system of goals with built-in bounties in mind) Those bounties are going to be paid in 8bit from the community, as I don't believe there is going to be funding available in USD or BTC at this point.  So, when you have said in the past that you won't work for free, or that I should be prepared to work for free, I believe you are overestimating the "outside" funds available in this community, or underestimating the potential here with the "inside" funds.  Regardless, at this point, I would ask you the same thing I'm going to be asking everyone at this point... If you do see value here, and you really do want to help, what are you willing/able to commit to, and at what cost?

8-bit-party - Thanks for the respect, I'm going to PM you in a few, I have to get a solid idea of your actual, committed level of interest at this point, what you want to do, and if you can honestly commit to some goals in terms of timing and such... And, regardless of all that, I have some technical issues we need to discuss, as there are some things we can possibly solve some technical issues with the coin in the short-term...

skidog - I am absolutely all for this!  As we are all seemingly on different sides of the globe (memory serving/at the very least, you said you're in China, and I'm in the western USA) Any suggestions as to communication method? and timing?  (that isn't just for skidog, anyone who wants to be an active part of this community please, chime in! tell us all when/how you'd all like to talk!)

Yes, I am in Taiwan, gmt +8. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Very busy at work. OK, set up a time we can all meet( some kind of chat line)(skype,etc.) and I am willing to stay up late. (not too late) The wife will kill me.

Hiya folks!

Soooo, it seems we have another challenge here in 8bit-land.

Our favorite coin's main website (www.8-BIT.party) looks to be dead in a domain name has not been renewed sort of way.

So, once again, I'm more than happy to host things, donate some time and effort into building a new website, maybe make a new block explorer, etc. etc.  But, we're going to need to pull together the players who WANT to be involved at this point, and take some stock as to what road map we'd like to lay out for the coin. 

It seems to me, that based on a lack of presence or progress, 8-bit-party isn't really interested anymore.  (8-bit-party, I'm not hating on  you, if I'm wrong, please tell me, and lets get this ball rolling again) And, while the tech is outstanding, and the community isn't nearly dead, we're not really moving forward at this time either.   
I'd really like to turn this around.... soooo, here's some thoughts in no specific order....

• IF 8-bit-party is really done with dev efforts on this coin, it would become necessary to recruit a new dev, the easiest way to do so seems to be some sort of confirmed bounty in $8bit donated by the rest of us.
• A new "official" website needs to be created.  (I can do this)
• It would be nice if a new block explorer could be a part of that.  (I can LIKELY do this)
• Regardless as to if it's 8-bit-party or someone new as dev, a road-map needs to be laid out, things like attracting places to accept $8bit as payment, a new better performing client/blockchain, android/iOS versions, etc. etc.

It seems to me, if we can pull together some sort of confirmed leadership team, and meet some/all of these goals, it would not be too hard to put this coin back to where it should be both in terms of value and an active community.  So either by public or private response, let's get this rolling, who can do what?  If you don't have any IT skills, please pledge to donate coins to attract a new dev, if you do have IT skills tell us what you'd be honestly willing to do, if you've got honest C skills, let's talk development/new client version efforts!   

It seems to me in a world where DASH is closest coin in terms of tech/features, but running a masternode there costs $6500 USD to get started, our $5 USD masternodes could attract a TON of people.... But, the problem is I don't currently know where to point folks to that idea.  Seriously, I can still see this taking off in a MAJOR way if we play our cards right, but I can't do this by myself... Who want's to play?  Who want's to see this thing get huge?

At this time I show 460 running masternodes on the network, to me that screams that there's still faith in this project... Let's make this happen.

Since your manifesto publication it's been almost a month now, so is there any success / progress you want to announce?

[Spidersbox]

does this ring any bells
key.cpp:730:69: error: ‘class {anonymous}::CSecp256k1Init’ has no member named ‘ctx’

ubuntu server 32bit

I tried rolling secp256k1 back:
git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/secp256k1
cd secp256k1
git reset a0d3b8
git add .
git reset --hard
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install
cd ..
sudo ldconfig

didn't help.
any ideas on getting the 8bitd to compile ??

[8-bit-Party]

• make sure you have called make clean / removed obj/ contents
• make sure you use correct 8bit head, I recommend bcf2b5f

I read that allZuckedUp will run a new one. I don't want to sabotage his action so let's give him a bit more time, eventually I will bring back mine if he fail.

What happen to 8bit coins when they are transferred from one exchange to another if there is no explorer to trace the transaction?

Block explorer (this or that) will be available soon. Provide your txid I can check if it's visible in the chain.

This is a valid transaction on the valid chain. Bittrex is on valid chain as well. On which exchanges have you attempted to transfer coins?

[BitKing3000]

That address came from Cryptopia, and they are clueless over there and have not resolved the issue, saying there is no block explorer to verify or find the transaction. And the wallet on my account for 8bit says address COMING SOON, wtf is that? Why issue an address if they arent connected?

[8-bit-Party]

Looks like they are on the wrong fork (we had a fork in the past quite long time ago and looks like they stayed there). Once they resync to the right chain, your coins should be credited eventually.

[BitKing3000]

Thanks for the info, I will be sure to let them know.

So, just checking in folks... Sorry, I've seemingly vanished, but life doesn't play well with peoples hobbies sometimes...

Anyway, I have been somewhat productive as far as 8bit goes as of late... As evidenced here http://8bitcoin.netspecto.com

Please take a look, obviously it has a ways to go, things like the block explorer, bounties page, and getting started documentation have yet to be built... BUT, I do feel I have a decent framework in place. Somewhere we can point new users, and somewhere to center our efforts. What I'd love to see at this point from you all is suggestions, and help writing some of this content... (Also, if anyone has the mac version of the wallet, that would be AWESOME!) So, if you've got some great ideas as to how to better attract new users, or additions and/or corrections to the existing text... (additions would be nice, admittedly there's not a ton of content there yet) please, let me have 'em!!

Lastly, I do believe we need some new addnode entries, my wallets have all forked and are rebuilding (including the faucet).  All on different forks too! So, instead of seeing 8 or 10 connections, they see 1 or 2, and the number of masternodes I'm seeing have also seriously shrunk, and the faucet's wallet is even on a VPS (as opposed to stuff in my house)... 8-bit-party, pretty please, can we have a conversation (I've PM'd you this) about how that should be working for all of us.

Anyway, what do you all think of the website?  I'll get an explorer working on it fairly shortly, and I'd still like to build a method for collecting donations for bounties, and rewarding those who achieve those goals... Where can we go from here?

PS - This is a "responsive" web site, meaning it'll also look good on your phones... It is 2016, even if our coin is retro branded. ;p

Any news on this? Need the block explorer to check where my transaction is.
