[ANN][Main] Bitcore- BTX - 1:1 Backed BSC Bridge BTX <->SBTX

[narking]

As all the same, there are not enough large exchanges that have increased their turnover to 100 bitcoins per day and higher. Large funds and investors can not enter on such small volumes and this is a very big problem although the cost of transactions and the whole development show that the topic is worthwhile.

Important update: Bitcore Public Keys


Dear Bitcore community,

Due to potential roadblocks with many hardware and service providers, we have come to the conclusion that it is necessary for us to change the public key prefix. Since we use the same prefix as bitcoin ("1", "3" and "bc1"), we decided that Bitcore BTX should use the following new prefixes:

Wallets 1xxx -> 2xxx
Wallets 3xxx -> sxxx
Wallets bc1 -> btx

We would like to ask all Bitcore users to slowly but surely upgrade to the new system.
To do so, please follow these steps:
1. Open your Bitcore core / Bitcore-QT wallet.
2. Create a backup of your wallet.dat and store it in a safe place. For example a USB-Stick that you later put in a safe-deposit box.
3. Download the latest wallet and replace the wallet.dat that will be created on startup with your old wallet.dat
4. Bitcore-QT will automatically create new public keys for your private keys, starting with 2xxx instead of 1xxx.
5. It is important to note, that you can only use your old public keys to send to other old addresses and vis versa - you can send only to the new format from the new format. The address formats are not interchangeable.

Please note that the private keys are in no way affected by this change. Any private key is fully compatible with both the old formatting as well as the new one.

The new wallet, supporting the new format only, is still in beta mode but can be download and tested via the official github:
https://github.com/LIMXTEC/BitCore/releases
Note: There will be an official release soon. Meanwhile here is a basic tool, to convert old addresses to the new 2xxx format: https://limxtec.github.io/btx-convert/

We also want to inform you that there's no rush to update, we set a timeframe of 3 months in which we want to complete the transition. After this period bitcore core 0.16 will be released which will only use the new public keys.
If you have any questions feel free to ask here in the forum or on our numerous social media and telegram channels. See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1883902.msg40724430#msg40724430 for a full link list.


Thank you for your support and for your understanding.

Kind of confusing. I think should be made easier for users and the old and new format should remain interchangeable forever. Having to use two wallets to send to old and new addresses will be kind of a hassle and make the coin less user friendly to people that don't like confusing crypto coins.

I have question.
If I use coinomi wallet, what need doing in this case?
Can I lost my BTX in coinomi?

Also I have problem with BTX wallet win8.1/64bit (can't sync.. stoped after 16 oct 2014.)

And I'm sorry that I missed such a good hand and now perhaps there will never be such a chance. The coin is still worth attention. And in General I see a lot of advertising about this coin, which attracts more and more users.

Of course, I understand why this is done, but it will really cause a lot of confusion. Especially among new users. It would be nice if the developers issue detailed instructions.

There are quite a few huge services out there, that refuse to cooperate with Bitcore unless a clear distinction towards Bitcoin's public key format is made. This is why it is neccessary for Bitcore to upgrade to its own unique public key format.

[Boriss]

Any obstacle we remove to get more integration of BTX is more then welcome in this moment.
Still I will probably wait for this new wallet to get out from beta before I make any change.

if i have my btx on old bitcoin address and never rendem it .. i have problem? or i can contiune to hodl on this old btc address? thanks for reply

as long as you hold the private keys there is no problem

You don't have to use 2 wallets.  Just use the conversion tool to send to old addresses with the new wallet.  Or vice versa.   https://limxtec.github.io/btx-convert/

Since we use the same prefix as bitcoin ("1", "3" and "bc1"), we decided that Bitcore BTX should use the following new prefixes:

Wallets 1xxx -> 2xxx
Wallets 3xxx -> sxxx
Wallets bc1 -> btx

Thank you so much for the update. Agree that we should have our own prefixes for BTX wallet public keys. The third wallet prefix hits the nail on the head... It defines who we are.

[CryptoRobert]

I guess it would be safer for most users to wait for the final release of the new wallet before doing the change, especially as the new wallet with the new addresses will not be able to send coins to old addresses - for example exchanges, if I have understood it right. And three months before the final change is quite some time, so even less need to hurry. Just my opinion.
