sounds all good, nice to see there is progress and active development.
but most importantly imo, is to get brit listed on a legit exchange.
c-cex is all scam run by thieves. coins go missing and tickets never replied to

Agreed, but we probably will not get enough volume to keep on it now

Once the new wallets (mobile especially) are ready we're going start our marketing campaign. If anyone has any creative marketing ideas I'd love to hear them. One of my ideas is to get a load of "Britcoin accepted here" stickers made and then get a few local merchants to accept Brit as a method of payment, then get in touch with local media outlets and try and get some coverage for the project.
I'd be more than happy to have some CoinFest scratch cards at the CoinFestUK, they went down very well with a lot of positive feedback at the last event! We have several hundred given away. It would be best to work with retailers who already accept Bitcoin as half the challenge is already complete but I like your ideas.
In the long term I'm hoping new marketing campaigns (and much more) can be funded directly from the Britcoin blockchain via a 2nd tier network, where new ideas are proposed and get voted on and funded based on how much support it has. As long as people are willing to work for Britcoin I think it will work. 
Sounds like an awesome idea! Keep us posted

A quick update for everyone.
Development of the new official website is coming along, hoping it will be live sometime mid January.
We have also launched Britchain.org as we needed a new explorer!
Mogreen is making good headway on the new desktop and mobile wallets!

Awesome, nice work! Looking forward to the new wallets!
Nice progress! Good work
Thanks lads. The next 6 months are really crucial for Britcoin, there's a lot of dev work to be done so we're all gonna be going at it full force to make sure we meet the targets set out in the roadmap. The new wallets, web services, infrastructure etc.

Remember all the buzz of the Bank of England announcing they were looking in to making their own Britcoin:
http://www.livebitcoinnews.com/bank-of-england-and-house-of-lords-to-discuss-creation-of-britcoin/
It will be interesting to see what they decided on?
As long as they remember we had the name Britcoin first, there's not much they can do about that.

Just installed on two more VPSs... Here are some better instructions for compiling britcoind on an Ubuntu VPS.
I was doing it as root so didn't care whether I used sudo or not.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libevent-dev
apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/britcoin3/britcoin3.3.git
apt-get install nano
sudo apt-get install gcc
sudo apt-get install openssl
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
sudo apt-get install g++
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
cd britcoin3.3/src
make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=-
./britcoind -daemon
nano ~/.britcoin/britcoin.conf
(Paste in the stuff you were just given when you tried to run britcoind)
./britcoind -daemon

Now I get this:
I tried to install libvent and it said I already have the newest version?
I get the same error when I try to run britcoind too.

Well, let's focus on just the britcoind for now. What do you run to cause you to get that last error there? Let's take this to e-mail, and if something's wrong with the instructions I can add to them or change them.

So you're compiling the GUI then? Try just the britcoind (in the src folder) first; see how that goes.
QT 4.8.6, that's strange. You want to be using something between QT 5.2 and 5.5.
For the GUI, you might need:
sudo apt-get install libqt5gui5 libqt5core5a libqt5dbus5 qttools5-dev qttools5-dev-tools
EDIT: You may also need libevent for either daemon or GUI, though that was already in the instructions:

Guide to installing on a Linux (Ubuntu) VPS. Edited with new Github source code location and to use the bitcoin ppa for Berkeley DB instead of compiling from source. I think the ppa is probably easier, but take a look at the original unedited post if you want to see the other method.
Quote
If compiling Britcoin 3 from source, you must use Berkeley DB 4 (e.g. 4.8) and not 5.
Here are some sample commands for how to get going on an Ubuntu VPS. Note that you need over 1GB RAM to compile Britcoin because of the TOR stuff.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libevent-dev
apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/britcoin3/britcoin3.3.git
apt-get install nano
sudo apt-get install gcc
sudo apt-get install openssl
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
sudo apt-get install g++
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev
cd britcoin3.3/src
make -f makefile.unix
./britcoind -daemon
That gives you a suggested username and password.
nano ~/.britcoin/britcoin.conf
Put these in the text file:
rpcuser=that username you just got
rpcpassword=that password you just got
./britcoind -daemon

Blocktime target and maximum stake age
Looks like the move to a 2-minute target blocktime was successful
The only remaining change in the v3.3 wallets to take effect is that there is a maximum stake age of 2.5 years. You don't lose stake after this point, but you don't accrue stake any further. This has already taken effect in a sense, but can't possibly affect anyone until the 2.5th anniversary of this coin, which I believe is this 27th December.
New wallet versions
There are new v3.3.0.2 wallets now available at britcoin.xyz. Upgrading from v3.3.0.0 (which most people are using, as that was the last version that Windows and Mac wallets were compiled for) is recommended and desirable, but not essential.
These new versions reject connections from clients older than v3.3.0.0, as well they should because v3.3.0.0 was a hard fork. They also have a few more hardcoded checkpoints to keep people on track while syncing.
If you have a version older than v3.3.0.0, you should have upgraded already and will likely be on an outdated fork.
