[ANN] [BTCP] BitcoinPrivate: A Truly Private Bitcoin [Equihash]

[jambo110]

https://btcp.multipools.club is already on it!

Time Since Last Block   4 hours 20 minutes 41 seconds   ??

we advise our miners to configure, test, and then come back when mining starts. Its a waste of power to keep them on in testnet.

Dont you agree?

Good luck with your pool

Same problem 

[Miguelpt]

This is kind of annoying that no one knows when everyone will be able to mine.. From their website the answer to when can I start mining is "You won't be able to mine right away, as we roll out our main net. You may be able to do so by Sunday or Monday. " .. Sunday or Monday great answer...

Probably in 2 days!

Difficulty chart for BitcoinPrivate can be seen here: https://www.difficultychart.com/bitcoinprivate

Of course there is no data yet since mainnet is still not available Just posting it here in case someone wants to check it out in the future

Wahhh wahhh wahhhh... What a whiner....

Here's a novel idea.  Why don't you "wait" until the devs "announce" that mining is available.

I know... I know... That's the "logical" thing to do.  You would rather whine, in hopes that "whining" will somehow magically fix everything and mining will start right away so that "you" can mine.   Sounds rather arrogant to me.
Me... me... me... me... me...

So many selfish people in these groups, only thinking about themselves, demanding instant gratification.

What the easiest way to claim my btcp, any good information or instruction about it?

There is no Windows wallet as of yet, so i installed the Linux BTCP wallet from github:


https://github.com/BTCPrivate/BitcoinPrivate

One of the last steps is this:

# Fetch Zcash ceremony keys
./btcputil/fetch-params.sh

This script will fetch the Bitcoin Private (and Zcash) zkSNARK parameters, and verify
their integrity with sha256sum. These parameters are identical to those for
both Zclassic and Zcash.

If they already exist locally, it will exit now and do nothing else.

So that does not work...
I have ZCL installed but I'm not sure those keys are identical.

https://github.com/BTCPrivate/BitcoinPrivate/releases

There is Windows wallet. It is just cli, so no Windows GUI yet.

Bitcoin Private Daemon and Client
This contains the Bitcoin Private daemon and CLI tools. If you want the GUI Desktop Wallet, go here.

For Linux, you must compile following the instructions here.

To collect your own snapshot: https://github.com/BTCPrivate/utxo_dump

For Windows:

Run fetch-parameters.bat, and wait for the download to complete.

Run start_wallet_cli.bat. You can use cli_prompt.bat for RPC commands.

Use stop_wallet_cli.bat to close the wallet! Otherwise, you might corrupt the blockchain!

To collect your own snapshot: https://github.com/BTCPrivate/utxo_dump

Your wallet file is located at -
Windows: %APPDATA%\BTCPrivate\wallet.dat

Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/BTCPrivate/wallet.dat

Linux: ~/.btcprivate/wallet.dat

For Linux, you must compile following the instructions here.

I did.

Fetch-params just did not work.

Please comment to that.

Ah i see: https://github.com/BTCPrivate/BitcoinPrivate/blob/master/btcputil/fetch-params.sh
Updated 5 hours ago. I installed the wallet 10 hours ago. Must be different (and working hopefully) now.

Approx 5:30h  - 6h left until mainnet.. Everything ready here and yes, all settings will remain the same - you can just keep on mining like on testnet.

Any news from coinomi?
Don't have BTCP yet

I hope this update will make you relax to know this fork will get support from Coinomi. If you stored your BTC or ZCL on this wallet than it will make credit automatically your account there.

I won't rush to claim because in the very first hours or days market should be very volatile. I expect huge dump because pressure from Zclassic holders side should be taken in consideration anticipated. It can reach at peak prices during this summer sometimes. It is always messy procedure to claim at start unless you are getting credited directly by exchanges.
