Spider,sadly ,it didn't open .It seems to download then ...disappear ...any thoughts?

Even the Window wallet behaved like that, you have to unlock "Intelligence on the dawnload" in the antivirus before downloading the wallet.

The new code in the wallet is working well.
the PoS difficulty has dropped from 139 to 30 so far (30 hours after the fork).
As more wallets stake, the difficulty will continue to drop, as it should.
The rate of decrease will slow as we move on.
It's nice to see so many POS blocks in the explorer

wallet v3, running windows, zero connections, any idea why?

[pazor_true]

what is the minimum balance for staking ?

btw.
good job Spider !

[bambarmia]

Is this project resurrected already? Good job guys and congratulations. 

[Spidersbox]

wallet v3, running windows, zero connections, any idea why?

the wallet will connect as soon as it is launched, it can take a half a minute sometimes.
If you can't get any connections, your firewall could be blocking it.

there isn't a minimum, other than too few won't produce a reward large enough to count (only 8 decimal places)
the more the merrier 

25% annual / 365 days
coin maturity is 1 day, so to get the 25%, you will have to stake once, every day.
(most simplest explanation - and not very technically accurate)

hell I would love to mine, stake and be apart of BitcoinFast, but when I download your wallet, install it, it does nothing, I even forcefully added the exception to firewall to allow it through, but the wallet is not trying to connect because I get no prompt to allow/block, I actually had to add it to the firewall allowed list....

I have removed/reinstalled 4 times, nothing changes, I have a dozen wallets all working, I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

got it working, made a config file

there should be a maximum balance of possible staking coins in a wallet.
for example 10.000 coins

that mechanism protects to get the rich wallet richer.

only 10.000 coins can stake in each wallet. not more


there is currently a rich concentration of ~ 79% to the top 25 wallets

bottlecaps did something similar. it put a cap on staked rewards of 1000 - it didn't matter how many you staked, max you could get was 1000.
both are something to think about.

rich concentration always scared me away to buy new coins

Not sure I like either concept. I think if someone is going to have gone through whatever combination of investment or mining work to accumulate a large holding, they shouldn’t be penalized for it. If the idea behind staking is to incentivize holding of the coins longer-term, limiting the staking seems to also then limit that goal.

I agree that strong concentration of ownership is probably bad short term, but if an ecosystem can develop and people have multiple use cases, and other options that involve spending/transferring coins around, then eventually you’d see that concentration move downwards some. I suppose, too, though, that every coin will have it’s few whales.

Mandatory wallet update soon

we seem to be experiencing  a "Time Warp" attack - it is an exploit on the KMW
that is the reason for the rush on the next wallet update.

Still waiting to hear from Cryptopia to find out how little time they need to rush this through, so I can set a time for the fork.

I would suggest not bothering to mine BCF right now - as the person doing the attack will be stealing all of the blocks, and you would just be wasting your hash.
Cryptopia has put the BCF wallet into maintenance, awaiting the update.

I will be removing the kimoto gravity wall from the wallet in the next update - about two weeks from now (depending on Cryptopia's time frame)

Spiders,

We have disabled the coin from our pool for now until you have the update.  Could you please PM us when the wallet is released, and we will have the pool up for day one new version release.

Thanks,
