Topic: [ANN] [BTCS] Revival of Bitcoin-sCrypt (New Dev Team & Move to POS/POW Hybrid) (Read 1632 times)

Well... looks like another one bites the dust.

Doesn't help when the 'mandatory update' wallet still says it is the old wallet version.

Come on devs(this isn't the only wallet!), get your act together. Proper versioning is important!

addnode=45.63.37.110:30201
addnode=45.63.38.204:30201
(just in case anyone was wondering...)

BTCS has been added to http://crpool.xyz miningpool.

Impossible to mine. Enormous amount of orphaned blocks...

what is the currently version of the currency now, on my machine this (bitcoin-scrypt (BTCS)
2.1.2.1), and I've been getting invalid blocks in my solo mining... 

i tried to install the version that is on github but from the error in, (obj/checkpoints.o) error 1 in the build. 

anyone here who can help me? 

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.4.0-178-generic x86_64)

Community,

Now that we have successfully completed the first blockchain fork of the revival of Bitcoin-sCrypt, we are ready for the next set up updates.

As such, there will be a mandatory update for all BTCS clients on March 26 2018.

Accordingly, all clients must upgrade to v.1.7.0 before March 26, 2018.

We will notify the major exchanges and mining pools.

After this update, the next major update will involve the move over to the hybrid proof-of-stake algo.

Thanks,

We have expanded the development team and will be launching the Bitcoin-sCrypt marketing campaign this week.

Latest Bitcoin-sCrypt Update:

https://theotherbitcoin.com/bitcoin-scrypt-announces-the-launch-of-its-marketing-campaign-and-expansion-of-the-development-team/

No new coins are generated for the hardfork.   Your coins at Cryptopia and C-CEX are safe.

I have my BTCS in cryptopia , what i need to do for swap ? regards

The fixes made the Spidersbox have made the client and blockchain operate more efficiently.

He is currently working on the Proof-of-Stake integration, which will make things even more optimized.

just to share, i couldnt get my wallet to sync, added all the nodes i could find, still could not sync wallet
so i found the new update, soon as i downloaded the newest wallet update, my wallet is in sync now..
so maybe cryptopia and tasho could just update wallet and sites could get out of maintance... anyway....nice
to see BTCS working again...by the way, i have v1.6.0.1 wallet

Bitcoin-sCrypt successfully hard-forked today making the block confirmation process more efficient for miners.

Now that the blockchain has been optimized, we are embarking on an organized marketing campaign starting next week.

More details here:
http://theotherbitcoin.com/bitcoin-scrypt-successfully-hard-forks-marketing-campaign-next/

if this happens to be the official thread you should update it in coinmarketcap

Mandatory Update

Please remember to update your wallet by Mon Feb 19 00:00:00 UTC 2018

links can be found on the web site https://bitcoinscrypt.io/

it is nice to see bitcoin scrypt coming back to live.

When it's released

Major update:  We are pre-releasing our first client update since 2015 today...along with our announcement about our upcoming Roadmap for reviving Bitcoin-sCrypt.

More info can be found at:  http://theotherbitcoin.com

I'm looking forward to the PoS staking, my VPS has enough capacity for another wallet.

If I still had my scrypt miner I would start to mine it...

Wow...  I have a wallet file from 2014 which should have a chunk of BTCS. Time to find the wallet and see how much I got. Revival with POW/POS hybrid feels good.

Always believed BitcoinScrypt would be a competitor to Bitcoin.
Especially with PoS / PoW hybrid we should be prepared for the future!

Interested to see how that revival goes. I own a bit of BTCS so i`m a fan.

At least this coin has already proven that the team behind this are not ghosts.  Hopefully, there's really something in here that will further develop this coin into something big.

Joined!
And will follow this project.
Hope it will rise like phoenix
 
Waiting for any news any update

Happy to be on board in perfect time

CMC still has old website and old ANN thread. I think updating it would be important.

Also, an official Roadmap for the Revival of Bitcoin-sCrypt will be released in the coming weeks.

We just created a Bitcoin-sCrypt telegram channel for all the crypto people on Telegram:

https://t.me/BitcoinScryptOfficial

Good luck looking forward to the new developments of this project.

We will be putting together a roadmap that lays out development plans.

It's a good news for those holding your coin and a new hope for those who believe in you, the new dawn is coming for the hodlers to watch and for their coin to grow. Goodluck dev.

Win BTCS:  Bitcoin-sCrypt now has an online quiz.  Get questions right to win free BTCS.

https://coinbrakers.weebly.com/bitcoin-scrypt.html

When the hybrid Proof-of-Stake consensus algo is implemented we will have a hard fork which will require an updated wallet.

Really nice, so we need to update new wallet and nodes?

Bitcoin-sCrypt (BTCS) briefly mentioned in front page of Houston Chronicle Sunday print edition:

http://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/article/Bitcoin-buyers-see-cryptocurrency-in-their-12434491.php

Houston Chronicle is third-largest newspaper in the USA.

Antietrader has put together some new BTCS logos for us to choose from.

 
You can check them out on our Discord Channel:  https://discord.gg/EAXdR8j

 
We have over 80 people who have joined the Bitcoin-sCrypt discord channel over the last few days.

your coins will still exist in your wallet if your wallet still has the private keys

Price is going up so people can notice BTCS.
Smoke any new incoming in near future?

Hello!
If in 2014 I had several BTCS coins, then what happened to them?
I'm synchronizing my wallet right now and I see a balance of 0.
There are some strange transactions that I did not commit.
Transactions from today that occurred at the time of the synchronization...

 Smokeasy hello?  we communicated in the branch cryptocurrencytalk, you said that you will revive Bitcoin Scrypt a lot of effort will have to invest you and the team, good luck !!!  .  I hope to see a decent work product b price $ 500

It's been a couple of years but glad to see it back.

IMPORTANT:  BTCS HARDFORK ON MARCH 26, 2018.  ALL CLIENTS MUST UPGRADE TO V.1.7.0!!!

Community,

We are pleased to announce that the official revival of the Bitcoin-sCrypt (BTCS) Altcoin has begun.  As such, we have three important announcements to share.


Announcement 1

As part of the revival, we have set up a Bitcoin-sCrypt Discord channel for the BTCS community to communicate.

Join the live Bitcoin-sCrypt discussion here:  https://discord.gg/EAXdR8j


Announcement 2

As part of the revival, Spidersbox will take over lead development for Bitcoin-sCrypt and Smokeasy will step back to take a secondary supporting role.

Spidersbox is a talented and experienced cryptocoin developer who has agreed to take over leadership of the Bitcoin-sCrypt project to restore BTCS back to its previous luster...with assistance from his team from previous cryptocoin projects reviving other coins, which include:
BitBar
LiteBar
BitcoinFast
LitecoinPlus

We welcome Spidersbox and his team to the Bitcoin-sCrypt community!


Announcement 3

As part of the revival, Bitcoin-sCrypt is looking to change the consensus mechanism from pure Proof-of-Work to a hybrid Proof-of-Work/Proof-of-Stake system to ensure mining remains decentralized.

The first steps will be adding repairwallet, zapwallettxes and coin control to the current client wallet to set up the framework for implementing Proof-of-Stake.  These changes will not require a hard-fork, while the later change to a hybrid Proof-of-Stake system will.

More info can be found at the official Bitcoin-sCrypt Discord channel: https://discord.gg/EAXdR8j



We are excited about the future of Bitcoin-sCrypt!  

BTCS is currently listed on https://cryptopia.no.nz and https://c-cex.com.  We are working on getting it on additional exchanges.



Thanks,

~Smokeasy
