Bitvote has forked successfully at Bitcoin block height 505050. Bitvote is a fork of Bitcoin, and its abbreviation is BTV. There will be no pre-mining and additional issuance. Bitvote uses the CryptoNight algorithm.

why can i see block 505049 generated on Jan 19, 2018 10:51:22 PM blocksize 1012051 ,
then the first visible block is 505171 generated Jan 20, 2018 4:52:06 PM block size 315.

what happened in between ? aliens  

sorry, I just wanted to have a look at the magic 505050 block.

edit: update: I got to 505050 by browsing back one block at a time in detailview.

Is this true fork of bitcoin? I see only ordinary coins that only carry the name of bitcoin fork, just like altcoin usually.

[blink_stun]

I have 2 bitcoin that I have in my wallet. Will I get 2 BTV if I leave it there or do I need to put it somewhere else? Why there isn't much hype regarding this fork? I haven't even heard of it

GPU mining is being developed.

Please download BTV wallet on the official website, import your private key, and then add nodes manually.

hmm how come this required an altered version of the miner? is there something specific that's different?

when start gpu mining?

GPU mining is being developed.

With the number of coins out there, I feel like things such as gpu mining should have probably already been developed before launch!

Got this email from coinex, also got similar notice from bitpie

Dear CoinEx users:

Due to potential problems of Bitvote (BTV) replay protection, your Bitcoin wallet might face replay attack if it has been used for BTV allocation. To protect your assets, CoinEx has suspended BTV deposit and withdrawal. We will resume BTV deposit and withdrawal as soon as it is technically safe and stable.

when start gpu mining?

GPU mining is being developed.

With the number of coins out there, I feel like things such as gpu mining should have probably already been developed before launch!

and it will be dead in the next few weeks later because of the miners,right ?
nothing good will happen if we're mining it using GPU,because the circulation will be huge.
the coin need a loyal supporter,
it won't come from the miners,because they're only aiming for money.
they need to pay the expenses and other stuff.

addnode "node" "add|remove|onetry"

Attempts to add or remove a node from the addnode list.
Or try a connection to a node once.
Nodes added using addnode (or -connect) are protected from DoS disconnection and are not required to be
full nodes/support SegWit as other outbound peers are (though such peers will not be synced from).

Arguments:
1. "node"     (string, required) The node (see getpeerinfo for nodes)
2. "command"  (string, required) 'add' to add a node to the list, 'remove' to remove a node from the list, 'onetry' to try a connection to the node once

Examples:
> bitcoin-cli addnode "192.168.0.6:8333" "onetry"
> curl --user myusername --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id":"curltest", "method": "addnode", "params": ["192.168.0.6:8333", "onetry"] }' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:8332/
