Is it possible to know how many nodes are currently active? I'm thinking about participating in Blackcoin staking again.

I have always considered BLK to be a relevant currency, it is currently being traded on only two exchanges (according to CMC and Coingecko). What plans, if any, are there to expand and reach new users and investors?

The Blackcoin team is looking forward to getting BLK listed on more exchanges. Unfortunately, the project doesn't have any funding, so the opportunities are quite limited.

However, I would like to introduce a MANDATORY update for the Blackcoin More wallet:

Blackcoin More version 13.2.2

https://blackcoinmore.org
https://blackcoin.org
https://github.com/CoinBlack/blackcoin-more/releases/tag/v13.2.2

On April 24, 2024 6:00:00 AM (UTC) hard fork on Blackcoin network will take place. The hardfork will introduce the following backward-incompatible consensus changes:

• Transaction timestamp removal
• Minimum transaction fee as a consensus rule
• Enabling of relative timelocks (OP_CHECKSEQUENCEVERIFY)

Please update your nodes before this date!

Blackcoin More 25.1.0-alpha-3

Third alpha of new Blackcoin More client based on the latest Bitcoin Core 25.1 has been released.
This version is hard fork-ready.

https://blackcoinmore.org
https://blackcoin.org
https://github.com/CoinBlack/blackcoin-more/releases/tag/v25.1.0-alpha-3

With this alpha cycle completed, the next phase will be the More 25.1 beta version.

I think the most difficult thing about new exchange listing is that there has to be something in it for the exchange. It is possible through regular communication, and work, that there would be listings - however, in this day and age exchanges want to now give exposure to companies which run projects, which is a far far cry from the ethos of the era which this project originated.

Currently, I only found BLK listed on freiexchange.com (there are XeggeX and StakeCube, these with little or no activity. Source: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/blackcoin/#Markets).

What are the plans to increase the currency’s exposure? Since the project remains alive and being developed almost constantly, I believe there must be some  .
