see my post directly above.

they are. They spend more time in telegram and reddit than on bitcointalk, but they occasionally check this site. I have access to reddit but not to telegram, so when I see something that I feel they should know about, I link to the bitcointalk post in a post on reddit and ask someone with access to telegram there to check with the devs.  For the BTX asic issue, they are aware of the situation (from which I imply that they are looking into it).

see here : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.48305435

which references this : https://www.reddit.com/r/bitcore_btx/comments/a1a4on/are_we_under_a_51_attack/

in which one of them with direct access to the developers replies, and in which I also reference this : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.48329439

It seems that devs are gone. Exchanges wallets are not working for weeks.
So it doesn't matter whether Asics will mine or not. No exchange to sell.

The worse aspect of this fact that ASICs now mine BTX is that from now on BTX is at a very high risk to suffer from a 51% attack. And in middle or long term this will more likely happen. Is the team urgently addressing this crucial issue?

I've been using TradeOgre with some coins that don't have many good markets. Never had a single real problem, the only time they had delays in BTC withdrawals that was conveniently displayed as a warning on the balance page before trying to withdraw, and the situation only lasted for an hour or two. Mostly everything just works like you'd expect, even the UI is very responsive and bug-free. Being such a tiny exchange, they'll probably list a coin like Bitcore for little trouble give it a try, https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScolXS8WMCDG7j8dIAbmutrQR6BWD5BrOCcRKJLCFfgPTBwoQ/viewform

Sorry guys, I loved that coin and was holding it a long time.
Today I decided to exchange my BTX for BTC. I was not able to transfer my BTX to any Wallet from HitBTC. ZelCore doesnt worked, Electrum or the qt wallet.
I will still support this coin but at the moment the Devs are so silent.

Some hundreds of them I have still in my wallet, hope there are coming better days.

I hope for better exchanges. Cryptopia and HitBTC are really shit. WE NEED A GOOD EXCHANGE!!

And when I read now that there are ASICs going to mine BTX, wtf? A point more for me to leave this coin, I liked the algorythm because of the hope that it is resistent against ASICs.

Devs, are you reading here the posts from us users/investors? I don't think so... 

For the rest, keep care of your money, I wish you a better time in crypto.

BitCore R.I.P ?!

large block propagation difficulties - how do we compare?

the bitcoin cash forks are getting bad press because of very slow propagations times for "large" blocks - see https://news.bitcoin.com/bloxroute-joins-the-block-size-debate-with-new-block-propagation-service/ .

the article noted :

• BCH : BMG pool mined a 23.15MB Bitcoin Cash block that took well over an hour to propagate correctly (80 mins.)
  
• BSV : one block "took more than 20 mins to propagate" (Emin Gun Sirer). this appears to have been a 30 MB block as gleaned from later in the article.

when BTX did the stress test during the hybrid fork, do we know what our block sizes were and if we had any large ones (for us, 20 MB) that propagated quickly? The larger maximum block sizes of the latest BCH forks would not mean much if they don't result in faster speeds.

The end of GPU mining BTX .... I hope developers will respond   omegapool=98% pools hashrate  cca 300+ GH/s

Bitcore is immune to ASICs only in theory, in fact, we see in the graphs above. Another destroyed coin. Very sorry. I hope the developers will solve the problem.

I wonder if the team will respond to this unexpected news? After all, the algorithm Timetravel10 is positioned as having immunity to ASICs.

its better to buy only not to mine....

Throw that kind of hash to mine dead shitcoin is a joke.

It’s called free markets. 

say hello to greedy Baikal

Enjoy the spike!

that's an interesting chart. from what link did you get the chart from? that would be handy to know - thanks

As one of the main developers for FPGA's, I can say that no current FPGA's have yet been programmed with Timetravel10, and the sudden drastic increase in net hash is caused by Baikal G28's.  The Baikal X10 was unable to change the order of hash algorithms but their updated Baikal-X did have that capacity, and the G28 is just two overclocked Baikal-X.

The appearance of Baikal ASIC's on the bitcore network would be okay if this algorithm was publicly available for owners of Baikal-X or Baikal G28, but it is being held privately by Baikal mining.  In my opinion at this point it would be trivial for them to take 51% of the hash power.

I have been a huge fan of Bitcore since 2017, and mined it extensively with my GPU's.

My suggestion is that coin devs switch algorithms, I know hard forks are a huge pain, but the coin safety is in jeopardy.

In terms of which algorithm would be the best to switch to, I have a lot of input on that topic just as I have given many suggestions to the microbitcoin team; the algorithm of choice depends on what type of hardware you want on your network.  The problem with GPU friendly algorithms is that GPU mining is so unprofitable that most GPU mining is now done in big farms with low electrical costs.  Generally I recommend algorithms that support GPU's and FPGA's at similar ROI, and in some cases you can even (almost) equalize ROI on GPU/FPGA/ASIC like with the pure Gost algorithm.

http://btx.elitehash.net help spread the hashrate on the network - it's a really small pool, but actually it's the best paying one. 100% PPS, no variance, no luck, no fee. Even being the only miner works perfectly.

I imagine the eyes of the devs pop-up, they spit their coffee, big investors, pullin their hair,
all the miners momentarilly sell and switch to another algo and I just curse and forget the $10
i invested in BTX. Sad, but predictable. No algo is ASIC resistant, it just takes more time and effort to make it.
