Gritt, could you add all of these explorers to OP?

not very bad volume on bittrex. But there is only one question. The coin is 4 yo. Why was the topic created only now?

The current volume is actually extremely low (as always when BTC is going up or down).

The original thread is this one with nearly 2.5 Million visits, please read the last pages there or for a (very brief) summary of the situation this post - you will know why there is this "fresh" BLK thread and I don't need to type it all again ;-)

Why the new thread ?

Going to try skirt around the drama, but long story short, developer abandoned the project, renamed Blackcoin and is forcing a fork without consensus. Being Blackcoin's birthday, suiting for us to continue without him and wish him all the best.

So, I should stick to v1.2.4 for staking ?

1.2.5 was released and is fully compatible with ongoing development of Lore which you can also use. Neither of these clients are breaking away from the “norm” as it stands tho Lore may move away and branch out eventually to continue to progress BLK. The blacknet or whatever rat4/dolittle is doing will be a totally different proposition but not a single line of code has been shown to exist yet.

Thats a nice price Poloniex got, probably a good thing for them to have  revamp or whatever.

I think you underestimate their plans. Circle are backed by Goldman Sachs and their aim is to turn Poloniex into a fully legalised and regulated fiat exchange with multiple currency support - a direct competitor to coinbase, meaning onboarding noobs and generating a lot more interest in their offerings.

No idea how I had missed that one.

The latest LORE wallet release is very good, I said this before.  Its totally non hassle for me so gets my thumbs up.   The staking is fine and stable with this last release so I appreciate that.  Of course its upto you which you prefer but it was straight forward for me.

Well I guessed they would be taking it places.  The price doesnt make sense otherwise, I dont assume they must be successful but its probably good news for all crypto and I hope they are serious about the alt coins including BLK being part of their system.  Will be interesting to watch.

I was having alot of hassle with Poloniex to be honest, it worked but seemed a bit shaky so I gave up on them.   Pretty sure I will have to start an account over, I never verified for years on Bittrex or there anyhow.  Bittrex was speedy enough for me luckily.   The best exchange right now is ?


I suggest to hot link the big BLK logo on the OP to lead to the website.    Just so its not missed where to go for all downloads and more info and so on.   I know theres a link below, but literally a button the size of the page will get more clicks Im sure

Your account should still exist at Poloniex, flagged as "Verification status: Legacy" with a withdrawal limit of 2k USD/day (verified accounts have a limit of 25k USD).
Legacy accounts will be frozen at some point in Q1/2018 according to this press release, it seems most unlikely that the new owner will change anything regarding that verification requirement.

It's about 4% annual interest assuming a network weight of 19m. The amount of coins you hold don't change the interest percentage. Everyone gets the same.  

The staking process requires negligible energy, wallet runs  >1,0% of the CPU on my pc. It can be run on a casual pc, a laptop or even a raspberry pi.

All the luck and regards dibdab

I read somehwere that janko needed to fork in order to move forward with developments... Is a fork still going to happen for that reason (not referring to blacknet fork)? Should we be preparing for a BLK fork?

Eventually yes, but there need to be tests done to ensure everything is butter smooth. No plans for when that is going to be taking place.

Thanks for your interest.

I want to inform everybody that my prior Bitcointalk account was hacked, I have now added the number 1 to my old name to the new account. As soon as I was notified by Bitcointalk my account had been compromised I locked the old account and from this point on you should not see new postings from RouletteRun. I'm trying to think of a good way to prove I am me. Suffice it to say, you will never see me asking for or seeking funds from anybody on this forum unless it is sanctioned by the community and everybody is fully aware of a community fundraising effort. I'm a noob again.

And looks like there's a bounty going on for the visually endowed. Going to give it a twirl

Creating tools so Blackcoin can be ruled by the community, no kings like rat or Gritt or me are needed..
