[*] 8BIT [Dark Masternodes][Anon][Roadmap Stage 4]

[allZuckedUp]

Hi guys,

I like this coin, i used it at a moment. I wouldl ike to thank the team behinde it's revival, however i strongly advise you to make a new  ANN thread because it is really hard to fetch updates. You know it is not easy to read the 255 pages to catch-up with the project.

This is a VERY solid idea. (and one that's been tried before, so if we do this, I'd really like to insure it works)

I would absolutely support the creation of a new ANN thread, if all the others here are also willing to move ALL discussion to the new thread.  

I'd also be happy to open the new ANN (Thus, I'd be responsible for keeping the first post up to date, and helpful for new users, which is really the idea here.)...

Opinions?

I say go

We will open a new, not moderated thread with a new code base release and coin swap announcement.
Till this time let's just grit our teeth and wait 

Why no new thread now? Because I don't want to have first pages related to dealing with issues we have now...

HOWEVER

if you open a new, MODERATED thread that you will end with a link to the final one - I am completely fine with it.

Basically people always dig and bump abandoned threads what confuses other newcomers.

Ok, this totally makes sense... I'll still be happy to make/maintain the new thread, but I like the idea of waiting until we have a major code release to do it, assuming that's going to happen reasonably soon'ish. 

Just let me know (either here or PM) where you think my help would be most valuable.

Thanks!

you are right.
When do you expect the relaunch ? ( because new code release, new ann, new features in website )

Could someone please post a step by step process of how to get the wallet up and running again.

I downloaded the latest bootstrap but for the life of me cannot get it to work.

Dummys guide to updating would be appreciated

Windows is OS

I thought put bootstrap in appdata\8bit but it is syncing from over 1yr 27wks ago and not loading bootstrap?

same here, and it synces with only one node.
This is mainly why i asked for a new thread
by the way, i changed the .conf file with all the connect posted two or three pages before, and i added the two nodes by addnode method.

IMPORTANT

To everyone with synced wallet: go to the console and type:

Code:

getblockhash 661233

If you will see a different value than:

Code:

8a30b973f8a48141ea68077e980c96f0d940dcb07aa8e68857aad0c37deaf06a

means you are on the fork which will be orphaned with new update. Disable staking (or just shut down your wallet) and wait for an update (soon).

Block explorer and 90% of nodes (including Bittrex) are on the right chain.

Even with the bootstrap file, I've found at least with my wallets, it still takes a few days to sync.

The 8bit Faucet and my block explorer wallet.... Totally on the right chain!  

My personal wallets... Not so much... Ugh.  

Oh well, staking/masternoding off for now... annnnd awaiting the new code.  

8-bit-party, just let me know either publicly or PM how I can help.

[nemgun]

i may help too  who knows.

Can someone post an actual blockchain of 8Bit (not the bootstrap), so I can get CryptoChainer.com updated?

[8-bit-Party]

I will be back on Monday.

[drays]

I will be back on Monday.

Khm... which Monday..?

[8-bit-Party]

Blue one or manic one - you pick.
Not publishing update yet as we are still testing new code - currently on the third testnet.

Interesting, i just would like to ask if there is a way to speed up the block download rather then use the bootstrap. Maybe something can be done regarding masternodes ? Is it possible to have an overall check list of what had been done, and what is still to be done ?

To be honest I am not going to do with current code base and blockchain... blockchain is healthy and moving perfect but since it brought us so many problems we have to replace it. We should be doing it at the end of January-February.
However, after Christmas I will publish a fresh bootstrap file so just stay tuned.
