Version 2.2.4 wallets released: Details and downloads at Bitcoin 2's Github. Updating is optional.

What files other than wallet.dat need to be transferred from the old wallet to the new one?

Evry time there is new wallet version of btc2 I am simply deleted the extracted wallet qt on the folder which my old wallet qt are located, I have not seen any problem of doing that, as simple 1 + 1

And if there are masternodes, then you need to transfer the masternode file?

And if there are masternodes, then you need to transfer the masternode file?

No.

Only the .exe files on Windows need to be replaced. Or if you only use bitcoin2-qt.exe, then it's enough to just update that one single file.

Thank you, I did it, did not change anything and works fine!

I have a question for the developers. How many masternodes is necessary for a stable network operation?

I have a question for the developers. How many masternodes is necessary for a stable network operation?

It could work fine without a single masternode, so long as there are at least some nodes that accept incoming connections. For the SwiftTX feature, minimum of 6 MNs are required.

I'd say the network needs a minimum of 2 honest nodes in different locations that accept incoming connections from everyone in order to be stable. BTC2 has hundreds of them.

Thank you, do functions SwiftTX and zBTC2 work now?

[jackleszz]

Thank you, do functions SwiftTX and zBTC2 work now?

Those two features need a security update (one that requires the whole network to upgrade), and so they are disabled until such a bigger patch gets released.

Can you tell me about the time when they can be turned on?

One thing i like BTC2 is, the dev working hand and hand to achieve their goal to become btc2 known as one of valuable crypto asset, since 2018 i've been following this thread and i want to see that one day BTC2 placed in top 100 list of crypto in CMC.

[jackleszz]

Can you tell me about the time when they can be turned on?

zBTC2 feature will change completely, as will many parts of how masternodes and Swift TX work. These changes are being worked on, and hopefully we can see them in action before the end of the year.

Speaking of zBTC2, if anyone wants to convert their remaining zBTC2 to BTC2, DM me or Hiromono on Discord. It will need to be done before the major upgrades, so if you're reading this and have zBTC2, better do it already.

I think zBTC2 features brings lot of confusion and trouble to btc2 users, I suggest that you totally dismantle this program, I remembered one time my friend tried to explore this features and accidentally sent some of his btc2 tho this features, suddenly up until now he is waiting to retrieve his small btc2 amount that are transferred to zBTC2.

That feature can't be used now but it will be remade and so it will become much better. Meanwhile he can contact us to help convert it back to BTC2.

Do we have any written instruction how to do it ar is somebody already do a video tutorial, I think many people who are using btc2 core wallet has the same issue, even me, at first i don't have any idea how to use the zBTC2 features, I've already tried it and sent 0.05btc2 to my old wallet (out of curiosity  )

The feature has been disabled since more than a year ago. So it couldn't have been used since then. There's not many with the old zBTC2 which is why it's easier if the few just contact us to turn their zBTC2 into BTC2.

Hi,

I am trying to import some private keys in my btc2 wallet. But when the corresponding address has some funds the import is not successful. It show the correct address after import, but when I list address with getaddressesbyaccount the imported address is missing. Everything works as expected with keys from empty addresses.
Using latest binaries on Ubuntu 18.04. Any suggestions?

If you're trying to claim from the fork by importing the Bitcoin private key, that's no longer supported. See https://www.bitc2.org/faq

Oh...I understand. So I will not drink free coffee
Thanks for info.

Is it safe to enter your private keys into another coin's wallet? I'm worried about my bitcoins.

It is never safe. Always move your coins to another addresses.

[jackleszz]

do you think new bitcoin forks have a chance of success?  found a new coin the other day

Sure they do, it's harder for new coins than back in 2017 though.

[tippytoes]

This coin has been in existence for more than 2 years already, so I am assuming there are few shops that are already accepting your coin. Do you have the list of these shops, if there's any?
