Fair normally for a fair fork (ie not premining or whatever) is to switch from testnet to mainnet, provide the full nodes addresses, a working explorer, a not scammy wallet, exchange, etc

The good reason for the delay is not a 51% attack, BTG had a 99.9 % "attack" from suprnova, and maybe the same will happen here, I think nobody cares, that's the interest of nobody to rewrite the chain in such a context

The good reason is maybe that they must merge the utxos of the two chains, but then they just should explain it, their white paper is a kind of technical overview for beginers mixed with some kind of Bitcoin history

One of the reason why I made the tool (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.31273044) is that you don't depend on anybody to move your coins (explorer, full node sync, wallet sync, etc), you can just do it by yourself as soon as mainnet is live using BTC and ZCL explorers


 

Good afternoon fellow future BTCPpimps!
Well this is my very first post, and i actually didn't expected that to be a announcement for a fresh BTCP mining pool. But hey you got to start somewhere ah =] 
Its my honor too as well to contribute to this very promising project!

So don't be shy fellaz and join us in order to gain more hashpower.
Get ur miners cocked & buckle up, the fork is within 24 hours.

Many people are confused if there is a wallet or not.
Well to be loud and clear; there is. => https://github.com/BTCPrivate/electrum-btcp/releases
Released 3 days ago.
Dont panic if the sync doesn't work, the final launch of mainnet is required for that.

Happy mining & Peace out! 

Dev can you give us some answer about wallet ?

this is not the official site and not the wallet to download, and what is that "put private key" lol. You are a scam. I search and this is official:

Not avaible yet.

Guys any official news about snapshot?
Today is the first day of March and if I have not missed something, there is no official news about snapshot and the date of bitcoin private fork.

Yes, it will stop.
But the market sometimes is quite a funny thing, and stopped development might sometimes be better than continued but screwed up.
ZCL is a good foundation, without greedy lines of code of Zcash and Zencash. And it can survive as a starting point of some privacy hardforks and one of the "default" coin. It was pumped and dumped, nothing new or unusual.

looks like yes, and that`s weird
someone posted a link to a pool which refers to a paper wallet but not from official BTCP website, so i would be very careful with that

there is no btcp wallet yet ?

If I remember correctly development for ZCL will stop completely. I doubt the price will go up again. Or has there someone been found now to continue the dev work?

I didn't read whitepaper but can understand this so called privacy coin will be mixed or cloned from other coins. It is failed fork but good for Bitcoin community because these forks are loosing all the attraction so quickly one couldn't imagine to happen. There will be race among dumpers to get rid of these coins once the opportunity is given.

I agree exact date is needed - not fair and dangerous otherwise.

just dead
before snapshot 

Dead On Snapshot?

 

The development team should update the thread with the exact time the main net mining goes live, or at least tell us that they plan on releasing the mining start time. Otherwise this gives a mining advantage to whomever knows the exact launch time.

Sure, “a couple of days” after the snapshot is fine when updating on final QA but they should elaborate on this exactly when things are ready, then give a definitive time (preferably at least a few hours) for the main net launch so all the miners can start the race at the same time. I know suprnova usually switches from test to main automatically which is a solution for some but does not address the core issue.

Unless there is another valid reason for this such as avoiding chain splits or 51% attacks?

At the moment discussions are going about the extreme changes in value of Zclassic are going on while the market is off for BTCP. After mainnet releases it will be up wherever be. It will be interesting to see if Bittrex opens its trades or not as in past they said no to BTG but later on they opened. It is matter of hours when things will start to be clear.

They promise to mix bitcoin and the technology of anonymity of payments SCES, the new coin will be very promising.

It is exchange issue. They use Z wallet in a wrong manner. They skip a few steps as many other wallets work differently. Every new coin should go Z (private) first. Please don't try to be some master developer as you were a mere bounty hunter for BTCP team, if even that.
https://github.com/zcash/zcash/issues/2449

"Zcash has a consensus rule that coinbase UTXOs must be shielded. This causes problems for e.g. exchanges using the Bitcoin-inherited RPCs, where they run into errors. As the only way coinbase can be spent is via z_sendmany, it should never be considered for transparent RPCs.

We should modify the transparent coin selection rules used by the inherited transparent RPCs to exclude coinbase. One usability issue is that mining users might get confused if they can't spend everything they appear to have; we should ensure that if users try to spend more than can be funded without coinbase, but could be funded with coinbase, that they still receive an appropriate error."

#2448 - Miners sending NEWLY mined coins to an exchange, these should always go Z first then T. Educate yourself on how Zcoins work, before you come howling here. It is not Zclassic wallet issue, but purely exchange wallet issue as they only give public addresses to people.

"Requested by an exchange. If a miner is sending their mining rewards to an address, and they happen to receive a coinbase output instead of a regular mining payout, then it becomes almost impossible to send transactions from that address until the coinbase output has been shielded. But the Bitcoin-inherited RPCs make it very expensive (in terms of RPC time) to figure out which UTXOs are from coinbase."

when i can mine BTCP?

The price on Bittrex is amazing. It goes to show how Bittrex trades are fake bots. How the hell would buy at 3x the price of all other exchanges.

But I personally think the sell of on ZCL had no reason and the price could go back up to at least $80.

BTCP when starts trading could start at $200. Will see where it goes from there but if you ask me its at least worth as much as half of BCH or $600 so if starts trading at $200 it could run up after that.
