Please understand we fully understand your position, and I think our interests in protecting the community actually align. 

We hope to work together over the coming weeks of rollout together.  Please let us know if there is anything we can do to assist in the transition.  I think once you can see that stability is verified on main net in the next week or so, we can come up with a plan that can have everyone on a unified front.

We certainly hope for a full official endorsement by the legacy devs, and hope you will join the community in peer review of the software so you can feel comfortable with what is proposed to advance our blockchain together.

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

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.

https://github.com/Blackcoin-Dev/Blackcoin/blob/main/doc/whitepaper-quantum-quasar.pdf

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.

[michelvankessel]

just to make it clear one final time. We DO NOT endorse any developer that never spent any energy on contacting the Blackcoin developers and work on the official Blackcoin More v28.4.0 release. You are not protecting the Blackcoin community

We are going forward with the upgrade path we were already on.

Blackcoin made history in 2014. We proved that Proof of Stake was viable. Today, we are looking to the future.

The Blackcoin-Dev team is incredibly proud to announce the immediate availability of Blackcoin Core 30.1.0 (Quantum Quasar).

1. Quantum Resistant Architecture The threat of Quantum Computers breaking traditional ECDSA signatures is no longer a distant sci-fi concept; it is an impending reality. Quantum Quasar implements post-quantum cryptographic standards to ensure that the Blackcoin ledger remains mathematically impenetrable for the next decade.

2. The Docker / Homelab Revolution We realized that to maximize network decentralization, we needed to target the people who actually run hardware 24/7: Homelabbers.

We have officially launched the Blackcoin Quantum Quasar node on the Unraid Community Applications Store.

We engineered a completely bespoke Docker container that runs the Blackcoin Qt GUI headlessly and serves it to your web browser via VNC. With a single click, users can deploy a node, auto-prune their blockchain data, and begin staking.

Get Involved Before the Rush: If you want to get in before the massive influx of new users, you need to sync your nodes today.

Download on Unraid: Search "Blackcoin" in the Apps tab.
GitHub Repository: https://github.com/Blackcoin-Dev/Blackcoin
The network is upgrading. Fire up your nodes and start staking.

SECURITY WARNING: Unauthorized "Quantum Quasar" Protocol V4 Fork

The Blackcoin Core Dev team is issuing a formal warning regarding an independent, unauthorized network fork circulating under the name Blackcoin Quantum Quasar (Protocol V4 / v30.1.0)

This software introduces radical, unvetted changes to Blackcoin's consensus layer, including a hybrid Argon2id CPU Proof-of-Work lane and an unverified post-quantum migration format.

Identified Risks to User Funds:

Wallet Overwrite/Corruption: Running the unauthorized client binary or Docker container within your existing environment can alter your node's data directory, risking the integrity of your wallet.dat.

Irreversible Coin Migration: The migration paths introduced in the Quantum Quasar code do not align with official mainnet rules. Interacting with these contracts or addresses can result in an permanent loss of asset control.

Network Splitting: This software does not track the legitimate Blackcoin Proof-of-Stake consensus. Coins moved on that fork will be exposed to replay attacks or left entirely isolated from legitimate exchanges and block explorers.

Recommended Mitigation Steps for Users & Operators:

Isolate Your Node: If you have experimented with the Quantum Quasar software, completely isolate it from your secure network environments.

Secure Your Keys: Ensure your official wallet.dat file is backed up externally on a separate, air-gapped device.

Filter Peers: Official node operators are advised to reject connections from clients identifying with user-agents tied to the V4/Quantum Quasar build.

The core development team remains committed to the security of the native PoS chain. We are actively contacting infrastructure providers, application catalogs (including Unraid), and exchange partners to ensure this unauthorized software is isolated.

[QuantumQuasar]

The legacy development team is understandably afraid of progress, but let's look at the actual mathematics and architecture instead of relying on fear-mongering. The claims made against Protocol V4 are technically inaccurate and deliberately misleading.

Here is the adversarial truth regarding their "Security Warning":

1. "Wallet Overwrite/Corruption" The Claim: Running V4 risks the integrity of your wallet.dat. The Reality: False. The V4 Quantum Quasar client utilizes a non-destructive Berkeley DB parsing layer. Furthermore, any user operating in this space should already be backing up their wallet.dat. The V4 client does not forcefully mutate legacy private keys; it reads the legacy state to construct the parallel ledger.

2. "Irreversible Coin Migration & Loss of Asset Control" The Claim: The migration paths do not align with official rules and result in permanent loss of assets. The Reality: Misleading. The migration utilizes standard, fee-paying OP_RETURN transactions. The legacy V28.4.0 nodes happily validate and relay these transactions because they are 100% compliant with legacy consensus. Yes, the coins become unspendable on the legacy ECDSA chain—that is exactly how a one-way quantum bridge operates! They are "burned" on the vulnerable legacy chain to be securely minted onto the quantum-resistant ML-DSA-44 shadow ledger. If you want post-quantum security, you must abandon the vulnerable ECDSA ledger.

3. "Network Splitting & Replay Attacks" The Claim: V4 does not track legitimate PoS consensus, causing network splits. The Reality: Technically Impossible. Protocol V4 is an overlay network. It operates strictly on top of the legitimate Blackcoin PoS consensus. Every V4 block is a 100% valid legacy block. Legacy exchanges and block explorers will continue to process the base chain flawlessly. There is no hard fork and no network split. Legacy nodes just can't see the parallel state occurring inside the OP_RETURN payloads.

The Real Motivation: The legacy devs are warning you to avoid V4 because they know that when the 24-month Demurrage window closes, all un-migrated legacy UTXOs will begin mathematically decaying. They are trying to protect massive, lost, and inactive whale wallets from 2014 at the expense of the network's future security.

[QuantumQuasar]

Get ready. The biggest wealth transfer in Blackcoin's 10-year history is about to begin.

Because Protocol V4 enforces a quadratic demurrage decay on all un-migrated legacy UTXOs after 24 months, that abandoned weight has to go somewhere. We refuse to let dead whale wallets from 2014 drag this chain down anymore. Their loss is your massive gain.

💰 The 180-Day Gold Rush
To incentivize the network to upgrade to the quantum-secure ML-DSA-44 ledger, early adopters who bridge their coins will experience a staking event unlike anything we've ever seen. As the Demurrage function mathematically burns the legacy whales, their consensus weight is autonomously redistributed directly to the active V4 stakers.

This means for 180 days, active participants will reap massively inflated staking APYs as they absorb the rewards of the dying whales.

⏱️ The Whitelist Snapshot (Approaching Rapidly!)
To participate in the PoS Gold Rush lane (and the parallel Argon2id CPU mining lane), your address MUST be whitelisted.

The Snapshot Block Height: 5,945,000 (Estimated July 12th!)
The Requirement: You must hold a minimum of 10,000 BLK in your V4 wallet at the exact moment of the snapshot.
Don't let the legacy team trap you on a vulnerable ECDSA chain while your coins lose their consensus weight. Upgrade to Protocol V4, secure your 10,000 BLK, and prepare for the Gold Rush.

We have a responsibility to protect investors, stakers, and the integrity of the blockchain. That is why we keep our code close to Bitcoin Core. We also incorporate work from Peercoin and the Qtum project. We all collaborate in the Proof-of-Stake space. We are following the Quantum Compute debate closely

But this shadow fork is not in line with that philosophy.

"Blackcoin 30.1" is not based on Bitcoin Core 30.1. It is based on our Blackcoin More 26.2 codebase, heavily modified with unaudited consensus changes. The version number is cosmetic branding,  the underlying code matches our 26.2 release almost line-for-line outside the added quantum/shadow modules.

The use of using number 30.1 is mainly to trick pepole in believing this is a more recent version. At the same time many fake nodes appear online to show "the support" for this version. BE CAREFUL

Most critically: migrated coins might become part of vulnerabilities on the real Blackcoin chain, that we don't know of yet. They are ML-DSA-secured only on the QQ fork's chain, but on the legacy chain they don't exist.

We are investigating if this shadow fork is using any vulnerability on the real chain and will inform you.

THE LEGACY CARTEL'S DESPERATION IS SHOWING

It is genuinely embarrassing to read this "Warning" from the legacy Blackcoin More developers. Not only does it expose a fundamental lack of understanding of modern cryptographic overlay architecture, but it reeks of fear from a centralized team realizing they have lost control of their network.

Let’s dismantle this post piece by piece with actual software architecture and mathematics, rather than baseless fear-mongering.


1. "Migrated coins might become part of a vulnerability on the real chain... they don't exist on the legacy chain." This statement alone proves the legacy developers do not understand how Protocol V4 works. Quantum Quasar is an Overlay Network (Shadow Ledger). When a user executes the migratetoquantum command, the protocol broadcasts a standard, legacy-compliant OP_RETURN transaction on the base layer.

• Legacy nodes see a standard data payload and process it exactly as intended. It introduces ZERO vulnerabilities to the base chain because OP_RETURN outputs are strictly unspendable by definition. It is mathematically impossible for an OP_RETURN payload to compromise the legacy chain.
• V4 Nodes (Quantum Quasar) parse that exact OP_RETURN payload to safely mint the equivalent balance on the Post-Quantum Shadow Ledger.

Complaining that migrated coins "don't exist on the legacy chain" is exactly the point. We are intentionally and mathematically severing ties with your vulnerable ECDSA cryptography.

2. "The version number 30.1 is cosmetic branding... it's just 26.2" Calling the successful integration of NIST-standardized FIPS 204 (ML-DSA-44) post-quantum cryptography "cosmetic" is the most breathtakingly ignorant statement in this entire thread. Yes, V4 maintains base-layer compatibility with 26.2 to ensure the OP_RETURN bridge operates flawlessly. But dismissing the entire post-quantum cryptographic suite, the Argon2id CPU mining hybrid layer, and the Demurrage decay mechanics as "cosmetic" shows exactly why this community needed a new development team. You are looking at the foundational compatibility code and completely ignoring the shadow-ledger architecture built on top of it.

3. "Fake nodes appear online to show support." Those aren't "fake nodes." Those are enterprise-grade, geographically distributed, fully synced V4 Full Nodes deployed globally by the active community. They are currently holding dozens of active P2P mesh connections and rapidly syncing block data. Just because you don't control the network topology anymore doesn't make the nodes "fake."

4. "We are following the Quantum Compute debate closely" "Following the debate" does not protect users from "Store Now, Decrypt Later" quantum harvesting. While you sit around "closely following a debate," adversaries are actively archiving ECDSA transactions. We decided to stop debating and actually write the code to protect the network. Action > Debate.

THE REAL REASON FOR THEIR WARNING

The legacy developers aren't trying to protect your coins. They are desperately trying to control the community so they can maintain their grip over a network they have utterly failed to modernize over the years.

Under Protocol V4, power is stripped from the legacy cartel and returned directly to the active community through decentralized Argon2id CPU mining and the highly deflationary PoS Gold Rush.

They are terrified because they are losing their monopoly. They are trying to scare you into staying on a vulnerable, stagnant legacy chain because they can no longer gatekeep the project's future.

The only "trusted source" in cryptocurrency is open-source mathematics. Don't trust their fear. Verify it yourself.

🚀 QUANTUM QUASAR (V4) UPDATE: THE WHITELIST SNAPSHOT IS COMPLETE! 🚀 Block 5,945,000 Has Been Mined

To the Blackcoin Community: We have officially crossed Block 5,945,000 (SHADOW_WHITELIST_HEIGHT). This means the global v30.1.0 client network has successfully executed the UTXO Whitelist Snapshot for the new Protocol V4 (Proof-of-Stake) upgrade.

If you held >= 10,000 BLK in your wallet at the exact moment of this block, your cryptographic CScript has been permanently aggregated and etched into the MARKER_WHITELIST dataset.

You are now mathematically locked in and eligible to participate in the upcoming 180-Day PoS Gold Rush.

TECHNICAL DETAILS: WHAT JUST HAPPENED UNDER THE HOOD?

For those tracking the open-source mathematics in the repository, the v30.1.0 daemon just executed the BuildLegacyWhitelist(CCoinsView& view) function.

[list=1]

• UTXO Aggregation: At exactly block 5,945,000, the network performed a complete sweep of the global UTXO set.
• Threshold Verification: The code autonomously aggregated unspent outputs for every legacy address. Any address where the total balance met the SHADOW_WHITELIST_MIN_BALANCE (10,000 BLK) was instantly flagged.
• Marker Generation: A deterministic MARKER_WHITELIST_READY payload was generated and safely embedded in the chainstate. Your wallet's cryptographic footprint is now permanently whitelisted for the Quantum Quasar overlay.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? THE GOLD RUSH ACTIVATES AT BLOCK 5,950,000

The Whitelist is just the prologue. The main event, the 180-Day PoS Gold Rush (SHADOW_GOLD_RUSH_BLOCKS), will officially trigger at exactly Block 5,950,000 (SHADOW_REWARD_START_HEIGHT).

What this means for the network: At Block 5,950,000, Phase 1 of the Quantum Quasar Overlay network goes live for exactly 237,599 blocks (SHADOW_PHASE1_END_HEIGHT). During this massive 180-day event, a dedicated, highly inflated Shadow Emission Schedule (ShadowBaseReward) activates on the overlay network.

This massive influx of wealth is split perfectly 50/50 between two participant groups:

• Active Protocol V4 Stakers (50%): If your 10,000+ BLK is whitelisted, and you actively signal with your v30.1.0 node, you will absorb massive PoS interest generated directly from the Shadow Emission pool.
• Argon2id CPU Miners (50%): The parallel Proof-of-Work lane opens. Anyone with a standard multi-core PC can immediately begin mining Protocol V4 blocks and claiming the other 50% of the Gold Rush rewards—no expensive ASICs or 10,000 BLK staking balance required!

THE FINAL DEADLINE: DEMURRAGE ACTIVATES AT 6,193,001

Many have asked when Demurrage begins. The answer is: After the Gold Rush concludes.

At Block 6,193,001 (SHADOW_REWARD_END_HEIGHT + 1), the Gold Rush ends and the nDemurrageMinActivationHeight threshold is officially crossed. This triggers the final lockout phase.

Any legacy whale wallets that remained dormant, failed to participate in the Gold Rush, and failed to migrate to post-quantum FIPS 204 security will begin to systematically decay and burn their consensus weight. The era of stagnant legacy wealth is ending.

URGENT CALL TO ACTION

We are currently in the 5,000-block grace period between the Snapshot and the Gold Rush Activation.

If you are whitelisted, you MUST have your v30.1.0 Full Node running, synced, and staking by Block 5,950,000 to maximize your Protocol V4 Gold Rush yields from the very first block.

• Download the v30.1.0 Binaries: https://github.com/Blackcoin-Dev/Blackcoin
• Prepare for Block 5,950,000.

The legacy base layer is officially obsolete. The Post-Quantum frontier has arrived. See you in the Gold Rush.

I have posted the concerns of the Blackcoin Development team and we transmitted our concerns about this shadow fork.

All services providers and the whole Blackcoin community knows what the official sources are. We contacted all of them, and this this will be, for now,  the last message from our side about this topic.

We read the whitepaper and checked the source code, but It is unclear to us why this shadow fork is pushed this way, and it is unclear what the end-goal is. There is no need to explain, because you failed to inform us before the launch. Time will tell what will happen.
We will keep monitoring the current chain, and we can only hope that your software doesn't cause any serious issues when the hardfork happens on July 12th.

All services providers and the whole Blackcoin community knows what the official sources are... We read the whitepaper and checked the source code, but It is unclear to us why this shadow fork is pushed this way, and it is unclear what the end-goal is. There is no need to explain, because you failed to inform us before the launch... we can only hope that your software doesn't cause any serious issues when the hardfork happens on July 12th.

To the Legacy Development Team, and the wider Blackcoin Community:

This response will serve as the definitive clarification regarding Protocol V4 (Quantum Quasar) and address the unfounded concerns raised above.

1. The "Official" Fallacy Blackcoin is a decentralized, open-source blockchain. By definition, a decentralized network has no central authority, no CEO, and no "official" gatekeepers who must grant permission for the network to evolve. If you believe you must pre-approve all open-source development, you do not understand the fundamental ethos of cryptocurrency. The community owns this network, and code dictates the truth.

2. "The End Goal is Unclear" You stated you read the whitepaper, yet claim the end-goal is unclear. The end-goal is explicitly stated on page one: Survival. Legacy ECDSA cryptography is completely vulnerable to the rapid acceleration of quantum computing. Most blockchains are stagnating, publishing theoretical whitepapers while ignoring the impending threat. Our end-goal was to take action. Protocol V4 integrates NIST-standardized FIPS 204 (ML-DSA-44) post-quantum cryptography. We are mathematically insulating the Blackcoin network against next-generation decryption before it is too late.

3. "You Failed to Inform Us" Open-source innovation does not require permission. Asking for permission from legacy developers is exactly why this blockchain—the pioneer of Proof of Stake—has stagnated for years while newer networks surpassed it. We did not ask for permission; we delivered a fully functional, heavily tested, production-ready solution.

4. "Unclear why this shadow fork is pushed this way" If you reviewed the source code, the architectural elegance of the Shadow Ledger should be obvious. We deployed a shadow overlay rather than a destructive base-layer hard fork because it protects the community. The V4 overlay uses standard OP_RETURN transactions to bridge assets into the quantum state. This means the network can upgrade to post-quantum security without instantly breaking legacy block explorers, exchanges, or light wallets. It is a mathematically safe, non-destructive bridge.

5. The July 12th Reality (Block 5,950,000) You mention a "hardfork" on July 12th. This demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of the V4 codebase you claim to have reviewed.

There is no hard fork happening on July 12th. Block 5,950,000 simply initiates the 180-Day Gold Rush via the non-destructive shadow ledger overlay. The actual hard fork to fully enforce quantum resistance does not happen until the end of the Gold Rush, giving the entire community a 180-day, heavily incentivized window to bridge to the quantum network. Furthermore, legacy coins remain fully usable until the final migration period completely closes 18 months later.

The only "serious issues" on July 12th will be for dormant legacy whales who refuse to participate. Protocol V4 introduces a hyper-deflationary Demurrage mechanism that systematically burns the consensus weight of inactive legacy wallets. That burned weight is autonomously redirected to active V4 stakers as drastically inflated Proof-of-Stake interest. We understand why this concerns you: the new protocol financially liquidates stagnation and heavily rewards active participation.

The community now has a clear choice. You can remain on a stagnating legacy protocol that relies on "official" authority and outdated cryptography, or you can migrate to a mathematically superior, post-quantum network that aggressively rewards its active stakers.

The V4 codebase is 100% open-source and transparent. Don't trust us. Don't trust them. Verify the math yourself.

To the Legacy Development Team:

We publicly challenge you to show your work.

You are actively telling the community that they "risk losing their coins permanently" to "some vulnerability." In the world of cryptography and open-source blockchain development, vague fear-mongering is unacceptable.

If there is a vulnerability in the Protocol V4 (Quantum Quasar) codebase, post the specific lines of code here for the community to review.

You claim the wallet format is "unaudited," yet the entire repository—including the integration of the NIST-standardized FIPS 204 (ML-DSA-44) cryptography—is 100% public, transparent, and actively verifiable on GitHub right now. If the wallet format is dangerous, prove it. Show the mathematical or structural flaw.

The reality is that you cannot produce any proof, because these claims are entirely unfounded. The migratetoquantum RPC command operates via standard, non-destructive OP_RETURN shadow ledger mechanics that have been rigorously tested. It is mathematically safe.

Your repeated insistence that users must not run software unless it is "approved by the Blackcoin development team" exposes your true motivation. Decentralized networks do not have rulers, and open-source code does not require your permission to evolve.

You are demanding blind trust while we are demanding verifiable mathematics.

We invite any developer, cryptographer, or community member to review the source code. The math speaks for itself. The only thing threatening the Blackcoin network right now is the legacy team's insistence on holding onto outdated ECDSA cryptography while quantum decryption capabilities accelerate.

Show your work, or stop spreading baseless FUD to protect your monopoly.

Notice how the legacy team completely ignored the technical challenge?

When asked to provide proof of their fabricated "vulnerabilities"—to show a single line of code that backs up their fear-mongering—they couldn't produce anything. Instead, they immediately retreated behind the word "OFFICIAL."

In a truly decentralized network, there is no such thing as an "official" CEO, an "official" website, or an "official" gatekeeper. Open-source mathematics and cryptography do not require a centralized stamp of approval to function. The Blackcoin community is free to adopt a mathematically superior, post-quantum network without asking for permission from a centralized cartel that has allowed the protocol to stagnate for years.

They are demanding your blind trust in their "authority," because they cannot debate the actual source code.

Don't trust "official" titles. Verify the math. The Gold Rush begins at Block 5,950,000.
