Since when did the VPN access become blocked? Especially since BitMinter is promoting use of VPN, albeit from another provider.

This network was blocked because of the amount of spam coming from them. I've removed the block - try it again now.

Thank you. It's working for me now. Spam is an inherent problem with any VPN, which affects the legitimate VPN use.

That's a shame indeed. Hopefully 3 years until the next one.

Finally that long round is over. Thanks a lot to skywise who found the block!

Apologies for the delay in BTC payouts this time. Prepay users have now been paid and the countdown for confirming the block is now showing correctly at https://bitminter.com/blocks - everyone not using the prepay perk will be paid as soon as the block confirms, as usual.

Bitcoin went live with the genesis block exactly ten years from today!

Happy birthday, Bitcoin!

Remember to withdraw your coins in time for the annual Proof of Keys!

https://www.proofofkeys.com/

Thanks for the heads up. Would I need to withdraw them from an exchane like coinbase snd transfer to my blockchain wallet?

The idea is to collect your coins from any places where you don't control the private keys, to wallets where you do.

There are some wallet suggestions at https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet

When you click on one, you can see whether it allows you to control your own coins. Some wallets have a green dot next to "Control over your money" and if you click that, it shows "This wallet gives you full control over your bitcoins. This means no third party can freeze or lose your funds. You are however still responsible for securing and backing up your wallet."

When you hold your own coins yourself, you have to protect them from hackers and make sure you have backups. A hardware wallet can help in case your PC gets hacked.

The advantage is that you actually have your coins. Maybe your coins are held today by the next mtgox disaster. Maybe they already lost your coins, they just haven't told you yet?

BCH withdrawals are enabled again.

If you are no longer mining, then please cash out all your coins (BTC, NMC and BCH) from Bitminter.

Proof of keys celebration is coming up. Take control of your coins; withdraw today. https://www.proofofkeys.com/

BCH withdrawals temporarily disabled

Now starts the BCH hard fork and hash war. This may last for days.

For those who did not withdraw their BCH in time, withdrawals will be re-enabled once the dust settles and there are one or more stable BCH blockchains. You will then be able to withdraw coins on one of these chains.

Last chance to move your BCH from Bitminter before the fork!

Tomorrow, on the 15th of November, there will be a BCH hard fork and an announced hash war. When the dust settles there may be two or more versions of BCH.

BCH withdrawals will be disabled an hour or two before the fork.

Countdown for the fork: https://cash.coin.dance/

Withdrawals will be re-enabled when the dust settles, at an unknown time in the future. If you didn't withdraw in time then you will only have one of the future BCH versions.

Coinbase has promised to handle the fork for you, so you may want to put your BCH there before the fork. There's probably other services/wallets that will do this for you. If you have the technical skill and knowledge then you may be able to do it yourself.

You may be wondering if a BCH hash war will affect BTC (bitcoin). Jimmy Song talks about it in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Gtu_zO4Ws8

I still have my keys from pre-BCH that have bitcoin that should therefore have BCH on them too, I've just never done the conversion thingy to get that BCH. As I understood it, when BCH forked BTC to create itself any BTC balance at that time was also valid BCH. Anyone know if there is a time limit to do that? Sorry if I'm not being clear enough.

You can still import your BTC private keys from 2017-08-01 into a BCH wallet. For safety these private keys should no longer control any BTC and never be used for BTC in the future.

Some alt coin wallets may use the same folders as Bitcoin Core and mess up your Bitcoin Core data if installed on the same system.

Some alt coin wallets are malware.

If you use VirtualBox to do this in a virtual machine, note that a serious vulnerability was discovered in VirtualBox lately, see https://github.com/MorteNoir1/virtualbox_e1000_0day - I may be wrong but it looks like this is still not patched in the latest version.

There is no paranoia in cryptocurrency. Half the world actually are trying to steal your coins.

There is a tiny percent chance of a time limit to it; that is, if Craig Wright is to be believed about his intentions and capabilities.

Suggest you read up and down from that post...
edit: hmm, on reflection, I guess there is no time limit. Deadalnix can keep changing pow. But bch will be ever less valuable and and ever more insecure.
