Electrum-BLK v4.5.8

Electrum-BLK v4.5.8 has been released.
It can be downloaded on https://github.com/CoinBlack/electrum-blk/releases/tag/v4.5.8

Notable changes:
  • Updated to Electrum 4.5.8
  • Updated scrypt dependency to 0.8.24 and 0.8.27


Still Going Mate? ...

Good to see - though in a RealWorld sense, there is little to be seen by the vast majority of Coin Projects. I miss the early days.

I hope You are doing well also - it has been way too long and I have moved off BCT due to many reasons.

#crysx #cwi
I agree that here is actually not much progress.

Anyway, the project is alive and being worked on.

Well ...

Let Me know if I can be of any assistance. Things are MUCH smaller in terms of InfraStructure than when it was a Year ago - so any help I can do - I will.

Thank you very much for the proposal.
We would greatly appreciate any help with testing and development (C++, Rust).

We had a big discussion about what makes the right crypto. One that I mentioned was BLK.

I want to teach a newcomer how to create and sweep paper wallets. Am synching a BLK QT. The QT seems to be working right off the bat -- I tried several other cryptos, and they did not.

Watch this space.

finally some good news! Segwit will be activated within the next few days. BIP-9 is locked in! :-)

for those who are still running v13.2.x (e.g. the OP_RETURN staker) you need to upgrade to v26.2.0+

Blackcoin Core 30.1.0 is out: Protocol V4 "Quantum Quasar" (mandatory upgrade)

Blackcoin's Protocol V4 upgrade, Quantum Quasar, is now released. This is a mandatory upgrade for everyone running a node or wallet. V4 activates on mainnet on **2026-07-12** (around block **5,950,000**), so please update before then to stay on the network.

- **Repo:** https://github.com/Blackcoin-Dev/Blackcoin
- **Downloads:** https://github.com/Blackcoin-Dev/Blackcoin/releases/tag/v30.1.0
- **White paper:** https://github.com/Blackcoin-Dev/Blackcoin/blob/main/doc/whitepaper-quantum-quasar.pdf

**What's in it**
- Quantum-safe signatures (ML-DSA-44 / FIPS 204) as a real, consensus-verified spending path
- A 24-month window to move legacy coins into quantum-safe addresses (one command or one click)
- The Gold Rush: a 180-day bonus reward epoch paid to holders who stake or mine
- Liveness rewards: keep your coins active and you keep 100%, and the wallet does the upkeep for you
- Same Blackcoin chain, not a new coin

**Downloads (pick your OS)**
- Windows: `Blackcoin-30.1.0-Windows-x86_64-Installer.exe` (or the Portable .zip)
- macOS Apple Silicon: `Blackcoin-30.1.0-macOS-Apple-Silicon-ARM64.dmg`
- macOS Intel: `Blackcoin-30.1.0-macOS-Intel-x86_64.dmg`
- Linux x86_64: `Blackcoin-30.1.0-Linux-x86_64.tar.gz`
- Linux ARM64: `Blackcoin-30.1.0-Linux-ARM64.tar.gz`

Checksums are in `SHA256SUMS.txt` on the release page. Verify your download before running it.

**Before you upgrade**
1. Back up your `wallet.dat`.
2. Install the new version over the old one.
3. On first launch it auto-detects an existing Blackcoin More install, backs it up, and imports it into the new data directory. Your old data is left untouched. Let the import and the one-time Gold Rush replay finish.
4. Important: after you create any quantum address (migration, staking, or cold-stake), back up your wallet again. Quantum keys are not derived from your seed, so an older backup will not recover those funds.

**Install notes**
- macOS: the apps are ad-hoc signed. On first open, right-click the app and choose Open, then Open again. If it reports the app is "damaged," run: `xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/blackcoin-qt.app`
- Windows: SmartScreen may warn since the installer is not code-signed yet. Click More info, then Run anyway, after checking the SHA256.

**Gold Rush snapshot**
The 10,000 BLK whitelist snapshot is taken at block **5,945,000**. Reward accounting starts at block **5,950,000** and runs for 243,000 blocks. Full details, formulas, and worked examples are in the white paper.

Go away with this SCAM! THIS IS NOT BLACKCOIN. To all the people reading this. BE VERY VERY VERY CAREFUL, you will probably lose your coins.

This IS NOT a mandatory upgrade. That news would be shown on https://blackcoin.org and https://blackcoinmore.org. DON'T UPGRADE TO THIS VERSION

This is the ONLY correct Github for the Blackcoin client https://github.com/CoinBlack/blackcoin-more

The current version, most people are running is Blackcoin More 26.2.0 and can be downloaded from github, https://blackcoin.org or https://blackcoinmore.org/

Blackcoin More v28.4.0 is about to be released, and is currently being tested and taproot will be activated with this release.

I really don't understand why someone would run a non-compatible wallet, the wallet is not compatible with any of the 3rd party services and wallet providers out there. 

It is time to warn the community on a larger scale about this type of scams

Make sure if you wish to participate in the Gold Rush PoS over the next 6 months you have an eligible wallet containing >= 10,000 BLK by block height 5,945,000, otherwise you will be restricted to only PoW mining during the Quantum Gold Rush.

NOTE: THIS IS NOT A HARD FORK ON 2026-07-12 (BLK 5,950,000). IF YOU DO NOT UPGRADE TO 30.1.0 YOU WILL BE INELIGIBLE FOR QUANTUM REWARDS IN ADDITION TO LEGACY POS REWARDS.

This is not a scam.  The community has been seeking solid advancements that will bring Blackcoin back to it's rightful place of leading the industry in advancements.  

Our team was tired of waiting around for incremental upgrades that were so delayed that the interest Blackcoin diminished across the industry as other technologies leapfrogged us.  

It's time to take our community back and move forward with a substantial upgrade to BLK!  The advancements our team have included bring us back to the forefront of blockchain technology and will propel us into the next generation.  Don't be left behind!

Our team is available to answer any community questions as we pivot to this next Generation of Quantum Resistance, and Cold Wallet Staking.

This is the ONLY correct Github for the Blackcoin client https://github.com/CoinBlack/blackcoin-more

The current version, most people are running is Blackcoin More 26.2.0 and can be downloaded from github, https://blackcoin.org or https://blackcoinmore.org/

Yes this is a SCAM,

because if you are tired if something you come and talk to the community. We have never seen you around or heard anything. When someone launches there own fake shadow coins on top of an existing chain, and claims it is a MANDATORY UPGRADE, then YES IT IS A SCAM. Your coins are not even part of the original chain. They cannot be seens on any tool in the whole Blackcoin ecosystem. So YES IT IS A SCAM. I am sure people will lose their $BLK as soon as they run the software,

If you want to start your own fork, go ahead, but leave Blackcoin for what it is. I like many of the advancements that you propose, I don't lile the way you do this. I am sure many people thing the same. We are here to protect the Blackcoin stakers, the networkt, the stakers, the users, the ecosystem. So stop saying these lies.

Just because you're not endorsing this doesn't make this a scam.  This is a legitimate upgrade that has been worked on for well over a year by our team of holders and stakers on the network.  We are not strangers to our ecosystem. 

We invited everyone to run this on testnet to validate.  This isn't going to make the community lose coins, This is a true upgrade to the network by running the quantum upgrade in parallel for 6 solid months.  This isn't a Hard Fork running a different network.  Everyone is fully able to transact during the entire gold rush period on ANY software on the legacy network, but to take advantage of the gold rush and to generate quantum wallets, that will be required to be on the upgraded software.

We hope the community doesn't miss out on front end opportunities during the Gold Rush period because of the negativity you're spreading on software our team has painstakingly built for our community. If you have something concrete to address as far as how people will lose their BLK I'd invite you to share that with all of us with actual code, because that simply is not true.

Yes this is a SCAM,

Our team was tired of waiting around for incremental upgrades that were so delayed that the interest Blackcoin diminished across the industry as other technologies leapfrogged us.  

It's time to take our community back and move forward with a substantial upgrade to BLK!  The advancements our team have included bring us back to the forefront of blockchain technology and will propel us into the next generation.  Don't be left behind!

Our team is available to answer any community questions as we pivot to this next Generation of Quantum Resistance, and Cold Wallet Staking.

This is the ONLY correct Github for the Blackcoin client https://github.com/CoinBlack/blackcoin-more

The current version, most people are running is Blackcoin More 26.2.0 and can be downloaded from github, https://blackcoin.org or https://blackcoinmore.org/

Blackcoin More v28.4.0 is about to be released, and is currently being tested and taproot will be activated with this release.

I really don't understand why someone would run a non-compatible wallet, the wallet is not compatible with any of the 3rd party services and wallet providers out there.  

It is time to warn the community on a larger scale about this type of scams

Our team is comprised of ALL Blackcoin users.  Unfortunately the lack of efficient and expeditious build out of the network has caused us to need to pick up the work for the community ourselves. 

For all community members, we invite you to use our software on testnet to validate.  Our Team is already running on mainnet with our own hot wallets because we have already done backend testing to validate. 

As a show of good faith we even left the original donation wallet set to the legacy team for their hard work getting us to this point.  Our team has done this work on their free time and with no compensation or donations to bring this to the community. We are not seeking donations but want the community to have the opportunity to not be left behind on stale software that should be been more up to date; our software offers that alternative to the community.

We Hope over the coming weeks to be able to work together to build this versions out with all devs working together.  We want a united community and not a divided one.


PEOPLE SHOULD NOT UPGRADE AND LOSE THEIR COINS! THIS SOFTWARE IS NOT ENDORSED BY ANYONE IN THE BLACKCOIN COMMUNITY.

Make sure if you wish to participate in the Gold Rush PoS over the next 6 months you have an eligible wallet containing >= 10,000 BLK by block height 5,945,000, otherwise you will be restricted to only PoW mining during the Quantum Gold Rush.

NOTE: THIS IS NOT A HARD FORK ON 2026-07-12 (BLK 5,950,000). IF YOU DO NOT UPGRADE TO 30.1.0 YOU WILL BE INELIGIBLE FOR QUANTUM REWARDS IN ADDITION TO LEGACY POS REWARDS.


Blackcoin Core 30.1.0 is out: Protocol V4 "Quantum Quasar" (mandatory upgrade)

Blackcoin's Protocol V4 upgrade, Quantum Quasar, is now released. This is a mandatory upgrade for everyone running a node or wallet. V4 activates on mainnet on **2026-07-12** (around block **5,950,000**), so please update before then to stay on the network.

- **Repo:** https://github.com/Blackcoin-Dev/Blackcoin
- **Downloads:** https://github.com/Blackcoin-Dev/Blackcoin/releases/tag/v30.1.0
- **White paper:** https://github.com/Blackcoin-Dev/Blackcoin/blob/main/doc/whitepaper-quantum-quasar.pdf

**What's in it**
- Quantum-safe signatures (ML-DSA-44 / FIPS 204) as a real, consensus-verified spending path
- A 24-month window to move legacy coins into quantum-safe addresses (one command or one click)
- The Gold Rush: a 180-day bonus reward epoch paid to holders who stake or mine
- Liveness rewards: keep your coins active and you keep 100%, and the wallet does the upkeep for you
- Same Blackcoin chain, not a new coin

**Downloads (pick your OS)**
- Windows: `Blackcoin-30.1.0-Windows-x86_64-Installer.exe` (or the Portable .zip)
- macOS Apple Silicon: `Blackcoin-30.1.0-macOS-Apple-Silicon-ARM64.dmg`
- macOS Intel: `Blackcoin-30.1.0-macOS-Intel-x86_64.dmg`
- Linux x86_64: `Blackcoin-30.1.0-Linux-x86_64.tar.gz`
- Linux ARM64: `Blackcoin-30.1.0-Linux-ARM64.tar.gz`

Checksums are in `SHA256SUMS.txt` on the release page. Verify your download before running it.

**Before you upgrade**
1. Back up your `wallet.dat`.
2. Install the new version over the old one.
3. On first launch it auto-detects an existing Blackcoin More install, backs it up, and imports it into the new data directory. Your old data is left untouched. Let the import and the one-time Gold Rush replay finish.
4. Important: after you create any quantum address (migration, staking, or cold-stake), back up your wallet again. Quantum keys are not derived from your seed, so an older backup will not recover those funds.

**Install notes**
- macOS: the apps are ad-hoc signed. On first open, right-click the app and choose Open, then Open again. If it reports the app is "damaged," run: `xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/blackcoin-qt.app`
- Windows: SmartScreen may warn since the installer is not code-signed yet. Click More info, then Run anyway, after checking the SHA256.

**Gold Rush snapshot**
The 10,000 BLK whitelist snapshot is taken at block **5,945,000**. Reward accounting starts at block **5,950,000** and runs for 243,000 blocks. Full details, formulas, and worked examples are in the white paper.

Your team is probably just you, and Claude.

I don't understand what you are talking about but like I said before, you are free to fork the software. It is open-source. I has been forked hunderds of time.

Just don't ask people to use some shady kind of shadow fork that has shadow coins that are not visible on the chain and cannot be used on any of the tools that are part of the Blackcoin ecosystem. They are not visible on explorers, not vsisible on exchanges, not visibile in 3rd party wallets, or any other type of wallet like the Electrum-BLK wallet.

Asking people to migratie their $BLK and just trust you and your "team", is not going to work. Most community members have been around for many years. I have been around since 2017, and this is not a fork we trust and endorse

So stop claiming you are some kind of new "team" and only have good intentions. Nobody buys that.

Migration doesn't even happen for 24 months.  This isn't some shadow fork if you read and understand the protocol.

Everyone has full access to use their wallets as normal, the only thing is this generate the Quantum wallets and Gold Rush Staking and PoW rewards during the first 6 months, that will be missed out on if not utilizing this wallet, and once that epoch is complete, there will be no opportunity to go back and collect those.

It's unfair to the community to try and restrict the ability for community members to receive an incentive for early adoption with software that still 100% lives on the same chain.

There is a clear misunderstanding of Blackcoin Core 30.1.0.  Please take the time to actually read through the white paper and validate the software so you understand what we have built out for the community.

I have said enough...It's up the the people anyway. Many people will fall for this kind of "opportunities" and we are here to warn and protect the investors. So we did
