Topic: [*] 8BIT [Dark Masternodes][Anon][Roadmap Stage 4] - page 2. (Read 379550 times)

This will take a long time, I suppose. The chain is extremely hard to resync. Would be nice if there were other members with fresh chains, so I could put it on the homepage for download.

you got me worried so i'm doing a full resync from scratch in an ubuntu client and a windows client as well.

Not me, unfortunately.. My blockchain copy got damaged and I am slowly resyncing. "Slowly" is the key word here... I am still at end of May 2019.

I still need a current bootstrap.dat. Anyone else who has one?

No problem. Many thanks!

i am uploading but it needs a bit time.
i'll send you a pm.

Could someone, please, upload a fresh bootstrap.dat?
My node suddenly stopped a few days ago so that I don't have a fresh copy to put on the webpage for download.

Thanks in advance.

I have problem with mn. On mn list is visible, is start, but no mn reward for 3 weeks. Any advice?

Looks like that. First it lost the developer, then it lost the community. I was under impression it has an extraordinary ability to attract community back (maybe due to its name), but this time apparently this didn't work. Even a new potent developer, who popped out of the blue, wasn't able to awaken the community.

The chain is working well though. Moving forward quite regularly, with current block 2119980 and 16 active connections to my wallet.

Realy ? * 8bit is gone? ..thats sad.

thats indeed impressive, i am no linux guy, otherwise i was also running one ...
but why is the price so low with so many loyal MN holders

Well, I've updated the code so it can now be built for Linux, Windows and macOS. Previously, it was only Linux, afaik. From time to time, I'm creating a new bootstrap.dat (just did it today) and publishing the gzipped file on https://8bit.cash homepage.

As there wasn't that much interest in this coin and not much support I won't be updating the code any time soon. However, the project can be used for testing & playing around. Not sure if it ever will become a coin with any monetary value, but as there are many shitcoins around, I think this is not that important.

Regards,

Come check out @QuantisNetwork too!

They actually have 8000 MASTERNODES online..More than any other Masternode Coin/Community!

I'm on the team and in the discord if you want to stop by and ask questions...Our community is 1600+ on Discord!

I just finished up with a press release too that will be on our new medium channel soon!

PM on Discord - you'll see me... mastertrader777 #3108

I'm actually just stumbling across this project and thread (today of all days!)... wow. I'm surprised that there wasn't any support for this... really cool look to the project. I love what you did with the webpage and source code - I'm having a look myself since I was curious if the chain is still moving or not (seems like it is!).

Just for fun I think I'll setup a node and poke around the network - I'm curious if there are still any masternodes up and running...

I see you bro...Good stuff!

Worth a try, think i still hold some.

Interesting... Nova Exchange listed many coins from Cryptopia, including some which I know have practically no development team... Not sure how they got listed. Looks like it had some sense to apply. Though, its late now anyway.

As there is not enough support from the community there will be no development/swap/new-coin in the foreseeable future.
Creating a new coin and coordinating everything is not an easy task and requires a broader support which in this case simply doesn't exist.
It makes no sense to me to do all the work without any support.

To the few people here: many thanks!

And regarding this - yes, switching to new blockchain seems to be the best way to fix the mentioned issues, as otherwise the time investment could be huge.
As for swap - indeed swaps have some 'scammy' associations, but from the other hand, most of swaps done last years were not scammy at all (the ones I am aware of).

Except traditional swap option, there is another, much less questionable method used by many solid developers lately, I am sure you are aware of it. In short it is this: a) get a snapshot of the user balances as of some date; b) generate a genesis block of the new blockchain containing all those balances, with the same (or derived) private keys as on old chain; c) release the new coin, so each user of the old one, could import his private keys to the new wallet, and unlock his coins. What do you think of that method?

There is another possible issue with swap approach - I am sure some users will not switch to the new coin, and will continue to run the old one, especially as I suspect many node owners do not even check the thread (it seems). But well, probably its not important, as those users are free to run 8BIT Classic later if they want to. Now when 8BIT is not listed on exchanges, could be the most convenient time to switch to a new chain.

Another good thing to understand now, when there is no exchange, no noisy speculators, and its nicely quiet here (while there is small tech-oriented community) - is to find out what direction this project can flow into...
