Can someone post the link to where to find info on masternode setup? I know it is somewhere.

Thanks

Above the coin spec in the ANN there is a link to the Masternode Guide

I have added today an Automatic Bootstrap Creator.
U can download a hourly generated bootstrap here:

Link: Bootstraps

Usage:
- Close ur Wallet and wait until its also closed in ur taskmanager
- Download the bootstrap-latest.7z
- UnZip it with 7z or WinRAR (or ur prefered tool)
- Place the bootstrap.dat file in ur Data Folder
- Start ur Wallet and wait until the import is done
- When the import is done the boostrap.dat file is renamed to bootstrap.old and u can delete it

The import is supposed to happen while the logo is showing right ? So it's not working and I tried 2 bs already.

When the Logo is there it do this:
- Check DB
- Load BlockIndex
- Load Addresses
- Load Wallet

And then when the Window is up then u see this in the bottom left corner

Bootstrap usually load when the soft is loading (logo). If there is still the same amount to catch up once the soft is running
that means the bootsrap didn' t worked.
I put the file is under roaming/BTX

At my screenshot u see that it works perfectly for me.
Have u unzipd it and placed only the bootstrap.dat file in ur roaming/BTX folder ?
I have tested it now with an completely fresh BTX Client on a fresh installed VM and it works there too.
In both cases i get the import msg in the normal programm window.
What u mean must be the "BlockIndex", thats the only thing with "B" during the Logo time

I'm still trying to understand which is the right price for this coin, from 50 to 100 or it can go higher?

Why are devs not naming and shaming these gluttons? It seems like the perfect opportunity to weed out the unsavory shills from what constitutes "boobarella" at the moment. Synergize yourself guys and lets make some decent fun.

One of my stable nodes is 159.203.5.8.

I'm not sure if it's working, 8 active connection, and it's at 18 week left since more than one hour

The chain download is slow and has issues I am trying to fix, especially using the Qt wallet on Windows.  The daemon version on linux seems the fastest to download the blockchain (about 1 day which is still way too long!).  What version and platform are you using?  

Have you tried the bootstraps?

The coin is already in development phase, just stake the coin while You can, the difficulty is low for now.

While working on InstantX, I have found that masternodes where not meant to run with PoS or at least with its current implementation.  The PoS block rewards are not random like PoW so masternodes can be manipulated by high stakers.  Masternode quorums, masternode payment selection, InstantX and DarkSend are not safe with the current code.  We need to find another solution and I need the communities help with this.

Since PoS creates the hash variable in the CMasterNode::CalculateScore method below, it can be manipulated to fix the masternode payment.  Malicious code can be written to pre-calculate hashes to make your masternode "score" more favorable when you mint a block with PoS.

Code:

//
// Deterministically calculate a given "score" for a masternode depending on how close it's hash is to
// the proof of work for that block. The further away they are the better, the furthest will win the election
// and get paid this block
//
uint256 CMasterNode::CalculateScore(int mod, int64_t nBlockHeight)
{
    if(pindexBest == NULL) return 0;

    uint256 hash = 0;
    uint256 aux = vin.prevout.hash + vin.prevout.n;

    if(!GetBlockHash(hash, nBlockHeight)) return 0;

    uint256 hash2 = Hash(BEGIN(hash), END(hash));
    uint256 hash3 = Hash(BEGIN(hash), END(aux));

    uint256 r = (hash3 > hash2 ? hash3 - hash2 : hash2 - hash3);

    return r;
}

everybody gone

We are still here.. believe that!

The entire team is still here!

Developing a coin is a lengthy process and many obstacles are encountered on the way, not just tech wise (health problems for example).

Such obstacles create delays.

But we are all still here, working on BTX !

glad to hear that! Hope everything is good there's no hurry in good development
