I was about to suggest that myself. Delayed Proof of Work (DPoW) has recently been integrated in EMC2 after it had suffered several 51% attacks, and now EMC2 is considered to be a safe coin and it has been removed from this site https://www.crypto51.app/
BTX should consider going the same way.

Never? 

ideas for preventing 51% attack

I don't know if the dev team has already looked into this, but this might be an option.

I recently read this article about a coin called SUQA : https://medium.com/@suqa/important-announcement-1a5f491b66b6 . In the article they state : "On November 20th 2018, Cryptopia denied listing SUQA on the basis of SUQA blockchain being susceptible to 51% attacks...everyone has to face at some point in crypto is that 51% attacks are REAL and it can easily disrupt a blockchain and devalue its currency. Since Cryptopia wallets already got hacked 3 times, we have to step in...We’ve established a partnership with Komodo in order to prevent such attacks using their state of the art Delayed Proof of Work (DPoW) cryptocurrency consensus mechanism. We are also preparing an in depth article explaining what a 51% attack is, and how SUQA is prepared to prevent one." The article was published 3 days ago, on December 7th.

The Bitcore team has already interacted with Komodo before, because that's the blockchain to which BTX made their first atomic swap transaction : https://twitter.com/Bitcore_BTX/status/994010991578017792

this might be an option to look into.

Soon?   

still no btxm ?

I never really used Nova but it is good to have them back in business. No listings costs as well I think as BTX was already there before their hiatus.

Nova exchange re-opened and its safe for trading under the new management team! Feel free to trade in novaexchange.com!

Happy Trading! 

That's interesting information. Maybe it would be really good if the Bitcore team would give it a try there. A listing on coinbase would certainly be good. 

submitting application to coinbase

coinbase announced yesterday that they are reviewing adding 30 new currencies (see here : https://news.bitcoin.com/coinbase-opens-the-door-to-more-than-30-new-cryptocurrencies/ ). Among the 30 being considered are "poet" ( https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/poet/ ) and "bread" ( https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bread/ ). those two coins are pretty small - at the time of writing, poet has a price of $.004 and a 24h volume of 390K; bread has a price of $0.19 and a 24h volume of 159K. by contrast, BTX has a price of $0.26 and a 24h volume of 155K. I think this makes us comparable to both of them.

applying to be listed is currently FREE but coinbase says that "Initially there will be no application fee. Depending on the volume of submissions, we reserve the right to impose an application fee in the future" ( https://blog.coinbase.com/new-asset-listing-process-a83ef296a0f3 ). if we want to apply to this we should act quickly. I assume someone from the team would need to do this and that I couldn't just do it myself.

according to their criteria for consideration ( https://listing.coinbase.com/policy#coinbase-mission-values ) there are some in which I think we have a particularly good claim, and others not so much. particularly good claims : "Demonstrable record of responding to and improving the code after a disclosure of vulnerability". we can easily point to our very fast response to CVE-2018-17144 after only a few days of its disclosure, documented here : https://bitcore.cc/ann-bitcore-new-core-0-15-2-0/ ; "There are examples of real-world implementation" - we have paytomat, kamoney, cryptonaut, luckygames.io, games4.coins, as listed here : https://bitcore.cc/resources/eco-system-2/ (note we need to remove living room of satoshi from that web page); "The asset is a separate blockchain" ; and "Best efforts by the team to allow a fair distribution of tokens". we emphasize that heavily in sections 2.2.5 and 2.3 (pg. 8-9) of the white paper : https://bitcore.cc/introduction/white-paper/ . there are other criteria that we match, but those are the ones that immediately struck me as giving us an edge in acceptance. The main criteria that struck me that we are weak in : liquidity. Hopefully that could be significantly improved, however, by addition to coinbase.

the application to be considered can be found here : https://listing.coinbase.com/

Purchased some BTX 4 days ago, no issues, still afraid to deposit more, first time using Nova. Waiting for other people to say their experience. Also, market very narrow, if you want more then 1000 (ridiculous amount), you need to work on buying for good price, it may take DAYS.

Any one has tried trading on the new Nova exchange?

Is it safe to trade there or not? I've heard that they are now operated by a new owner

you were on the dev team?  that's awesome!  have you ever thought about publishing a book about your experiences as a developer for a cryptocurrency? that would help spread awareness of Bitcore (regardless of whether you had positive or negative or a mix of things to say about it).  i'm currently writing a book about cryptocurrencies on "leanpub" here : https://leanpub.com/u/anonymous_474fdQUli3UIbUNqvS9SCg . I have yet to publish it so I don't know yet what sort of sales would be generated, but they offer royalties of 80 % (which is amazing) and you are free to publish the book anywhere you like, i.e. you retain all rights to the book. I would be very interesting in reading an "inside view" of the goings-on of the BTX team  (or any other team, for that matter).

There was definitely other factors involved with it not being used... all I was pointing out was that the members that left were not unimportant... In fact, most of the promotion and integration into various platforms was done in the first 6-9 months after launch.

Not trying to imply it is unimportant, living room of satoshi is a great service, just that it got de-listed from there cause Bitcore wasn't used. I used it a couple of times to pay with Bitcore, for me was a sad news.

I believe I was the first person to establish a use case of any kind for BTX. I got it on living room of satoshi which is used to process 10's of millions of dollars in bill payments. I definitely got stuff done but I simply disagreed with the founders on too much to stick around.

are you talking about, these sudden activities were caused by new team members and the disappearance of an old team member?
mind to tell me, where is the link to their official news channel?
did not see such a thing on their social media : https://twitter.com/Bitcore_BTX

Yes, it was stated in the official news channel, you can check. In the same news it was told about new team members.

Happy to hear that starting from today with the new Electrum wallet BTX has Trezor support. Any ETA about getting also Nano Ledger support?
