[ANN] BITGESELL - Store of value (Burn rate is 90% of tx fees) #realstoreofvalue

[Bittoshi]

Whoever is in control of Twitter page, for god's sake, please update the info on Bitgesell page. This has been asked a few times here and on discord too... please.
Would be nice too if there would be more activity on Twitter, even more so on Reddit. Contest rewards can be posted on Twitter/Reddit accounts, for example.
Active accounts will attract new users checking out BGL on social platforms and offer different platforms for a wider audience. With the marketing campaign going on, I think now it's the time to start being more active on social platforms. Love you <3

This is true. Bitgesell has an somewhat active and moderated Telegram group with more than 550 followers. Twitter can reach much more people, so the account should be up to date. For example, you could post the updates and activities (traction) from page one of this thread there.

Please do upgrade your node (esp. if you're running pool) to the latest version
version 0.1.7 (available in GitHub releases) to support Taproot activation

I saw the newly released version contained a rescheduled taproot activation. So, let's upgrade our node to a newer version if we would like to enable Taproot on BGL!

Taproot activation rescheduled: if 55% of mined blocks in any 3-days (432 blocks) upgrade window signal feature bit up to 25 August, if signalling passes, Taproot is activated on block 74574 (around 1 Sept);

Hi Dear BGL community!

Yes, taproot did not get activated in v0.1.6 we almost reached the target, one mining pool didn't upgrade, and literally taproot activation was short by 5 blocks.

So we decided to give it a reschedule, and new builds are available at GitHub and bitgesell.ca website. Also a few small fixes regarding 'bitcoin' mentioned in wallet dump etc., were done.

The new taproot activation rules are more relaxed, hopefully we would make it, 1st on September.
Please update to v0.1.7

I'd like to share some remark:
- when we updated node software for taproot signalling, I had to write pools after some time, and most did got upgraded, except one who didn't made it. And this nonetheless looks decentralization is in play. That took around 10 days. Of course, we are looking at the situation taking place in bitcoin, and after including taproot deployment code and updating BTC core, in just a few days the network gained complete and almost unilateral majority from miners, although the signalling 2-week period times out only in August. https://taproot.watch/about Overall from top 20+ mining pools having 95+% of mining power, only one at the bottom did not switch to taproot signalling in block bit on 2nd week of releasing BTC Core update. I am pretty impressed the speed of update and consolidation level of such change (almost like they have one chat group )

5 blocks are not impossible mission for the next schedule and I think BGL community will get the Taproot activation in the next period, like you said 1st September.

It is interesting because Taproot of Bitcoin was locked in and it will be activated in November.

Now I can say with confidence that 2 rounds will be played, on July 11 and 18. After that, a decision will be made.

Have you ever wondered how few coins you can buy? This is the data for the DigiFinex exchange.

Interesting initiative my luck. It will certainly bring visibility to BGL and more people will know about this great project. It's that kind of thing that adds and contributes to future participation. In a market inflated by the adoption of tokens, it would be something more if BGL were to be recognized. Unfortunately, I don't have the resources to be carrying out such movements, but I am participating in this movement for support purposes, I wish luck.

The developer make an announcement that it is necessary to update the versions of the node. I see that many nodes are still using the Satoshi:0.1.1 version... Please install the new version and we will be able proceed further!

Please update to v0.1.7

I am trying to sign a message for my Segwit address, but I get an error. What can this be related to? Segwit format addresses can't be used for signing?

Yes, Segwit addresses does not support signing message. It doesn't even work on Bitcoin Core, since the core dev are still researching onto it.

I knew one unofficial way to verify message signed from Bitcoin Segwit address but I am not sure it can help. If it help, it's great for Bitgesell team.

Unfortunately, I could not decode the BGL Segwit address  and immediately at the first step got an error. I am not strong in the code to change it myself for bgl... addresses

Code:

Error: Invalid human-readable prefix, "bc" or "tb" expected

[my luck]

So, the all bets have already been placed, the drawing of the first round of the lottery will begin on Sunday, July 11, 12-00 PM UTC.
23 registered participants will take part in the drawing of 4 prizes.

5954 BGL coins were purchased for the lottery at DigiFinex market prices

So the prizes are equal:

• the first prize is the equivalent of $5 - 297.7 BGL
• the second prize is the equivalent of $15 - 893.1 BGL
• the third prize is the equivalent of $30 - 1786.2 BGL
• and the grand prize is the equivalent of $50 - 2977.0 BGL

Even if you able to make it work, I don't think people would be able to verify it on the step 3 or in the BGL core.

I don't know how the proper mechanism for signing messages should work. But you could make a legacy address on BGL Core by running on console

Code:

getnewaddress "" "legacy"

. But I don't know if it would have any use or a preferable method since BGL doesn't support legacy addresses. Nevertheless, you should be able to sign a message and others would be able to verify it.
