Forgot to mention earlier.... BTX is #1 on C-Cex for %Gain, #4 for volume and on Hot List!!!
Sweet!!!

Sweet! I like.  Anyone else?
Thanks

Well today was productive!!!  I knew this was going to work.

CryptoVote and myself were on Slack for the good part of 2 hours this evening.
If you recall from my announcement, he had initially identified a number of issues which existed in SLING and were carried over when the clone to BTX was done.  He had already implemented the changes to SLING 2.0.0.1 and has now implemented them in BTX.  They are as follows;

1) masternode enforce payments- done
2) RPC exhaust fix- done
3) wallet fix, priority calculation in CreateTransaction- done
4) add checkpoints- done

There is another change he suggested but we agreed to pass it by the community to get your votes / opinions on it.  That change would be to change the text color on the options menu when using the dark background.  The text is fairly hard to see, at least with my old eyes, and I guess with his younger eyes.  I just switched to the light background and never mentioned it.

What are your thoughts and opinions / votes?

Also, food for thought, at 65M coins currently, vote yes or no as to whether or not you think we’re inflated?

Also, CryptoVote is continuing to look at the InstantX implementation tonight , so do not include that in the following request;
If you know of any bugs or issues with the current wallet or daemon, please let us know so we can review the list and come up with a realistic release date.
The updates listed above (1-4) are completed the color change can also be completed, and I’m waiting for his evaluation on InstantX.  Once we have a working list of fixes/enhancements, we can come up with a release schedule. 

If InstantX is 2 weeks away, I say we do a minor release as soon as 1-4 are checked in and have been tested. 
That’s it for today (bet you all wish I was still AWOL with these long winded posts)

Thank you for the vote of confidence.  And yes, someone was watching this thread and we did see some nice volume and price movement after I posted the announcement. 

Thanks for the upbeat message.  I agree, CryptoVote has done some fantastic work on SLING.  I know from the conversations I had with him leading up to his agreeing to join us, he's one of the honest folks.  Dealing with him over the last few days, I've learned a lot.  I've also been rejuvenated to get my butt back in gear and go back to some back end "stuff" that will only add value to both coins.

I know it had been a bit too long since there were any posts here from the team, I just needed to be 100% certain of the deal before I announced anything.  There is no way I want to make any kind of statement that could be considered "Hype" regarding either of the coins.... they're my 401K  

I can promise you that I will be here for the long term and the majority of the current team will be here long term also.  One requirement I'll be requesting of the current team is a weekly check in on Slack to ensure they are still around.   I'm also bringing in a "back-up" for myself in the event my "day job" has me restricted from the forum for any length of time.  We all started out at close to, if not the beginning of the initial launch of the coin and we want it to be a success story (talking BTX) just like SLING.  SLING, I came to know from researching the masternodes and was impressed with CryptoVote.

We have “Inked” a deal with an additional Developer!!!

It took some looking, and then some time to get to the point where I could legitimately approach him, but it’s a deal!!  I have to tell everyone upfront that this guy has impressed the BTX out of me!  During our initial conversations, prior to my making any payment, he had already reviewed the code and came back with 7 improvements / enhancements, and is looking at the InstantX implementation now.  I feel comfortable enough with the “Crypto Relationship” that I advanced him the full initial payment.

Also in keeping true to my belief that a Dev is more likely to stick around long term if they have a vested interest in the coin, the majority of the compensation is in BTX with some BTC on the side to sweeten the pot.  For the time being, I am funding the development so those details will be between the Dev and myself unless he chooses to release that information.

Now on to the details of our new Dev Member and then some caveats on our relationship.

The Dev is CryptoVote.
He has a very impressive LinkedIn profile.  Aside from that, he has been very, very active in the new development work on SLING.  As such, he has extensive knowledge of the SLING codebase and since we are a clone of SLING, extensive knowledge of our codebase.  What he has been able to accomplish with SLING since he started development is simply amazing.  Amazing enough that I couldn’t resist and had to buy some SLING.

That being said, the arrangement with CrytpoVote does not in any way suggest that he is abandoning SLING for BTX.  Quite the opposite.  If you look at our OP, we are asking Devs to unite to bring life, innovation, and trust back into the CryptoCurrency world.  This is the first step.

During our “negotiations”, I explained to CryptoVote that features he develops are at his and my discretion unique to the 2 coins.  We are creating “Sister Coins” if you want.  If we were to include enhancements / features to both coins, we would create opposing coins.  In contrast, by keeping some features unique to the individual coins, we will, in my opinion create cross interest and investment into both coins. I truly believe this is a win-win situation for both coins.

I will be sending CryptoVote an invitation to the Slack accounts shortly.  Please join me in welcoming him to our community.

Sent you the links in PM...

Guess, this might answer the question in the PM 

Where can I find the BTX Git repo?

The link in the ANN was fixed. The link on the webpage will be updated asap.

Everything under control.

The broken download link will be fixed soon.

The other ANN was locked due to limitations for newbie accounts. Therefore, we are going back to this ANN.

Thank you for your concern.

If you have new ann then you coud to consider lock this thread with a link to new ann in the last post.

So what's everyone's opinion of the new OP?  I think it looks FANTASTIC!! And remember we have more coming!!

If you have more than 50 000 coins you have a chance to win 1000 coins.
If you have more than 100 000 coins you have a chance to win 3000 coins.
If you have more than 300 000 coins you have a chance to win 12000 coins.

Is the amount needed per chunk or per address/wallet ?

So we are all waiting September for news and price rise
