Good work buy-black, thanks for sharing.

That went up quite soon! I'll have to try out a Newegg purchase sometime later this week to help with the testing. Considering how quickly you guys got this up compared to how long it took VRC, I can't wait for what else you have in store for BC!

We have lowered the fee on bcbit.co to 0.45%

We have also created a twitter account for future updates and news on upcoming projects: @blackwavelabs

thanks, mine was one of them, update fixed it.
reposted this on reddit, too.

A handful of nodes, including http://blackcha.in/, are on fork.
If you are on the fork or have problems with sync, update to v1.1.0.1

how is blackhalo compared to syscoin

STEP-BY-STEP (WITH IMAGES) INSTRUCTIONS TO SETUP BLACKHALO AND DO A CONTRACT

I had a chance to play with BlackHalo and did a contract for sending BlackCoin.  It worked perfectly and my BlackHalo wallet address could not be found on the block chain.  I am not expert but sending BC with this wallet appears to be anon!  If this is the case a detailed write up on the anon-send feature should be carefully explained and PR release on this feature alone should be done.
Here is quick summary for those interested in using the BC contracts feature.

First Install BlackHalo

1. Download BlackHalo http://blackhalo.info/  Go to official site and scroll to download link
2. Shut down BlackCoin wallet
3. Unzip Blackhalo.zip anywhere
4. To speed up BlackHalo wallet sync go to .. ...\blackhalo\data\ directory and delete all files
5. Go to BC wallet ...\AppData\Roaming\BlackCoin
6.  Copy all files except wallet.dat
7. Paste these files into ...\blackhalo\data\ directory
8. Double click on Rescan.bat in ..\blackhalo\ directory
5. When finished, the command screen from Rescan.bat disappears.
6. Double click on BlackHalo.exe in a couple of minutes BlackHalo is 100% synched!
Note, if you do not have BlackCoin wallet then you will have to let BlackHalo sync by itself, skip items 4 through 5.  

Second get email for BlackHalo clients to communicate automatically.

Get a new gmail or hotmail account so that BlackHalo can communicate automatically with other people doing the contract.  You will need the email and the password which will be added to BlackHalo.  I used gmail.

Third getting a BlackHalo wallet and activating email.

7. Go back to BlackHalo, it should be syncronized, and click on File > New Wallet
8. Click on save to save your first private key, then click on save again to save your second private key.  You will need both keys to open your wallet so do not loose them, make a backup of them along with your new wallet.dat saved in ...\blackhalo\data\ directory.
9. In a minute you should see a wallet address and in a little longer you should see Balance = 0



10. Click on the "Receive Blackcoins" tab
11. Click on the Add/Change button near the bottom
12. Add your email and then your password.  Your account will be validated automatically, and your email address will now be shown above the Add/Change button.



13. You will need to send some BLK to your wallet so click on the "Copy Adress to Clipboard" and save it somewhere.  
14. Click on File > Exit to shut down the client.  It will not close properly if you click on the x button on the right.
15. Wait a couple of minutes for clients to shut down properly and open BlackCoin Wallet to send some BLK to your BlackHalo.  Used the saved address from step 13.
16. When it shows one confirmation then shut down the BlackCoin wallet.
17. Wait one minute and open BlackHalo
18. In a couple of minutes your BLK will show in the Balance.

Fourth: Doing your first contract.

19. You will need the email from the other person to do the contract.  There will be IRC rooms where you can find people interested but right now this IRC chat room is not working.  Once you agree on the contract price then you can set it up.  
20.  This can be a typical contract:  I am a buyer for a service (graphic design) and found the designer that cost 1000 BC.  We have agreed on the price and that the design will be done in 24 hours, and that each of us will escrow 1000 BC extra until the job is completed and accepted.
20. Click on the "Make an Offer" tab and fill the form:

Send Contact to:  email ([email protected])
Amount: 1000
You Deposit: 1000 (your escrow)
They Deposit: 1000 (his escrow)
Time to Complete: 36 hours (better give a little extra time)

Before you click on the Send button make sure that you select "I pay this amount (I am the buyer)" from the drop down menu below the Send button, or the seller if you are the seller.



21. Click on the Send button
22. Now the clients will communicate with each other automatically via email.  You can see the current status of your offer under the tab "Pending Offers".  It should say "Sent Offer ... sent offer details awaiting response..."  If you click on it you can see some options to  cancel it, send it again or copy the email.



23. At this point we are waiting for the order to be accepted.  On the other end the details of the offer can be seen in the "Pending Offer" tab.  When they click on the offer the options are to Accept, Counter-Offer, or Delete.



24. When the offer is accepted the transaction will be broadcasted, this may take a little while but when finished this transaction will move from the "Make an Offer" tab to the "Open Contracts".  Now the contract should be listed and say something like Order: cxxxx.....
25. When the contract gets executed and the seller delivers the goods or services he selects the "Open Contracts" tab and click in the open Order: xxxxx.  A window pops up where you have the option to click the Completion Request.  When both have acknowledged that completion has been achieved by clicking on the Completion Request then the transaction is broadcasted as completed.



26.  After some minutes the payment is sent and the escrows are returned.  When all the transactions are completed the Open Contract Tab clears automatically and the contract is complete.

Thanks Dave Zimbeck this is an Amazing tool!

there is a lot of fluctuation in prices of btc when  the market  becomes stable and blackcoin will rise soon

I didn't sell any either. I found some leftover from my BTC wallet. haha

Altconis are dropping because BTC rose so quickly to $640. We are doing great in terms of volume and keeping % loss to a minimum. We should be doing ok once the altcoin economy picks up again and word gets out about Black Halo.

Because I wanted to sell off a tiny bit of my holdings so I could buy a nice chair... but now I think I'll be holding off for a day or so.  

Seriously I think it's just from a near total lack of volume in many coins, coupled with holiday weekend (in USA at least) and many alts are down now.  It will likely recover in a few hours, and if not then on Monday when regular volume levels resume.

BTC is strong and really so is BLK/BC when you consider how far down some of the newer 'darlings' of the exchange are getting hammered.


But yeah, it sucks.  Chair I was going to buy would have been ~1.5BTC - but since my portfolio just lost the better part of 4BTC in value with this downturn... I'm stuck waiting for some gains or I'll not be able to enjoy my purchase when I see that waiting a few days would have gotten me a free chair in gains I'd miss out on.

It's the perils of volatility I'm afraid.

Why are all the altcoins down so much at the moment

Yes, I hope it is useful, thanks.

I download i started use it and I LOVE IT.

1 - BlackcoinHalo:
- 2 key step verification client yea this ROCK - (with android wallet it will rock more )
- smart contracts

i can wait till David will release rest of his hard work.

When some day drunksound will make front end blackhalo custom wallet with
- blackhalo in his custom wallet. (2 step signatures )
- Blackbit
- Sending BC to eg. [email protected]
and much more cool random stuff.

Add to that BC oriented exchange i believe in that.

People are looking for good alts after BTC pump so then in reality if you have good coin AND BC is good
in security is mush better than NXT ( BC have that 2 step verification )

Ofcource all coins can create another POS but not many can handle seciurity problems (rat4)
Wow ideas David. Good developer drunksound with his team.

if you look at my post history i was talking that BC in long run = win and that we are making history
and we are making it BC have 90+ clones justice is there when problems accours BC fixed time bomb attack in few hours
and cheap clone with higher peak volume couldn't release new wallet for 2 weeks - here you have difference between original
dedicated dev than just copy one.

nothing is happening at the exchanes at all.... for no coin. Also better when people actually check out what Halo is instead of an instant panic buy and dump on the same day.

thanks!!


I thought that after the launch of pos 2.0 and blackhalo, for BC would be a good moment, with a nice price increasing. But it seem still at same point.

Yet it will fork BC at 310 000 block to POS 2.0

i'm not sure if POS 2.0 is working with the new wallet 1.1.0?

Thank you buy-black for this excellent guide.
