Hello Blackcoin Community

Happy holidays to you! We have released a small update on the Blackcoin More wallet, to add some new fixed nodes and replace the old DNS seeder with a new one. The old one is not reachable anymore. Version number is still v2.13.2.4 and build number is b1db5a5a

You can download the source code from here https://gitlab.com/blackcoin/blackcoin-more or download the binaries from https://blackcoinmore.org/

In the meantime we are also updating the original Blackcoin client (the older Rat4 code) - https://gitlab.com/blackcoin/blackcoin. And we are testing this on various OS-es. (Win64, Linux64, ARMv7 and MacOS 15). We changed the DNS seeder and fixed nodes as well. Version is still v1.2.5.2.

We are looking for people who want to test the binaries and give some feedback. Binaries can be found here - https://mega.nz/#F!amBgwALS!CAMuvZ7hhHeYUcltsiDfPg

You can start the binaries with the -testnet parameter or put testnet=1 in the blackcoin.conf file. If you need tBLK let me know!

Regards,
Michel van Kessel

Thanks, but one question befor burn. The Wallet has any security future for the burn? when i burn and the hash is false all burned tokens are lose?

The repository of burnt-explorer now contains a synchronization script with caching of previous results.

Note that burnt-explorer displays all kinds of burnt outputs, so if one wants to obtain just the IBO-relevant ones, additional filtering needs to be applied.

Glad to see you're still on that Ercoin plan.

Press release for the Initial Burn Offering of Ercoin, explaining its connection with BlackCoin.

Initial Burn Offering of Ercoin has been announced. Ercoin is a cryptocurrency with fair distribution, delegated proof of locked stake used as a consensus algorithm and Tendermint used as a consensus engine.

The initial distribution will be performed in a way that aims to be both fair (no entity privileged) and green (negligible CO₂ emission). Coins will be assigned proportionally to the amount of blackcoins destroyed (“burnt”) in a specific manner from the beginning of 8th of November 2019 (UTC) until the end of 7th of December 2019 (UTC). People outside the BlackCoin community will be able to participate in the Initial Burn Offering by spending bitcoins to purchase blackcoins that are already burnt, on the decentralized exchange Bisq.

Initial Burn Offering is similar in spirit to the way in which first cryptocurrencies were distributed (Bitcoin in particular), but more accessible (hardware purchases are typically not needed) and not as much wasteful. Therefore Ercoin community hopes to attract both people that are tired of ICO projects and people that are discouraged by wastefulness and environmental impact of cryptocurrencies that use proof of work as a method of distribution. CO₂ emission savings during the IBO can be estimated using an IBO visualization tool.

Besides distribution, Ercoin aims to distringuish itself by a unique set of technical and economical features. Delegated proof of locked stake is used as a consensus algorithm. This is a variant of proof stake in which voting power is proportional not only to the amount of coins owned, but also to the time for which the funds are locked (with a time cap applied). The purpose of this solution is to emphasize the role of long-term investors in decision making. Investors don’t need to perform validation themselves, but can instead delegate this duty to professional validator service providers.

There will be no inflation in Ercoin and therefore no arbitrary inflation tax. Costs of maintaining the network will be covered from fees. Fee amounts will be decided by the consensus of validators.

In place of smart contracts, Ercoin proposes transaction messages and accounts managed by multiple keys in arbitrary combinations. It is believed that these two features will cover many real-life applications like facilitation of automated services and private arbitration (via deposits managed by 2-of-3 signatures).

Besides Ercoin-specific features, there is a number of advantages coming from the usage of Tendermint, like fast confirmations and partially standarized API. Overall, Ercoin aims to be a cryptocurrency which is fairly distributed, efficient, easy to use, easy to integrate, useful in common business cases and also provides a sound economic model, contributing to the long term cryptocurrency value.

Blackcoin More has been updated to version v2.13.2.4. This version includes the Burn RPC call for the optional IBO for @ErcoinTech

Blackcoin More should sync faster than the original client.

Also there's a blockchain bootstrap

http://blackcoin.nl/bootstrap-the-blockchain/

There is an easier way, I think theres a link to the files stored in a website.  I've forgotten the address, I'll have a search now and update

Meanwhile I found this old video for BLK   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubQAr57wIo0

Staking calculator for those not aware of Proof of stake which I think is probably the majority - https://stakingrewards.com/asset/BLK


Old reddit topic on getting the bootstrap.dat:  https://www.reddit.com/r/blackcoin/comments/6b3imq/blackcoin_bootstrapdat_up_to_block_1631800/

The file is live but its an old topic so an old file I'm not sure how useful that is, the best advice might be to port forward so the wallet has better access and you will update faster to the most relevant files.


Bootstrap is on the website FAQ is under Other.   So the info is there and perhaps we could put the best link in the OP of this thread also - https://blackcoin.org/faq/

WTF,need about 15 days to fully  synchronize ,is there any easy way or torrent from official team?

You can not simply move wallet.dat, it's not possible because it uses a newer database version that's not compatible with the legacy wallet.

Please keep in mind that this thread is not monitored by the team anymore.

If you have any questions, the team is available at reddit, gitter and discord.

A couple quick questions on wallet upgrades:

So I have read the article on the Legacy wallet, Lore Wallet, and More Wallet.

Of course I saw that it recommends moving the coins to the newly created wallet, rather than simply moving the wallet.dat

This in mind, what sort of issues might one encounter is they start a wallet.dat created using the Legacy wallet, using the More Wallet?

...and can the created issues simply be corrected by generating a new address in the More Wallet and moving the funds internally?

Just curious what issues either of these might create for individuals attempting these alternative methods...

Thank you! :-)

Thanks. that link should be in the OP but the topic starter hasn't logged in since March. The OP still shows cryptopia as an exchange listing blackcoin, and it's now bankrupt. Let's hope the topic starter logs in soon.

You can find nodes for your client here

https://chainz.cryptoid.info/blk/#!network (click on [node list])

Could someone post a list of nodes please?

Blackcoin was on BaterDex as far as I know and it's capable of being exchanged on a DEX since it supports atomic swaps.
I am however a little rusty in the knowledge so if you haven't done it yet, you can go to their discord if you haven't done it yet. There are community members active who followed the last developments more closely and probably can say more about it. Take this invite: https://discord.gg/9dJ8Qk

PS: This ANN thread is not monitored closely anymore, the community communication went mostly to discord and reddit.

PPS: Cool list of true decentral coins might come in handy

Congrats Blackcoiners, we've added your coin to our very exclusive lighted list of truly decentralized currencies. We are seeing you won't be tradable on the v.2 of BarterDex any more (https://www.atomicexplorer.com/#/coins), while you were present in their v.1 (https://www.dexstats.info/coins.php) is it correct?

See https://blackcoinmore.org/ for more info, but basically you install a new wallet with a new address and then you send BLK from your old one to a new one

Just a few question
How do i update to latest safely from 1.2.4.?.
 how do i get a exact amount of coins i have as i think im on a wrong chain. Staking coins is currently 80k which ia very low for blk

14th onwards my stakes are high. Normally i would stake once a few weeks.
