Thought I'd better start a new thread to avoid people getting confused and downloading the wrong wallet: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-britcoincom-5-annual-pos-always-on-tor-brit-1463367

Also exchanges might expect to see it Wink

One of the seed nodes may be down for maintenance soon, so please keep staking those Brits!

It's too early to tell yet, but hopefully in the next few weeks I'll be able to announce some big news Cheesy

Have you guys looked at getting on an exchange>

Yobit would be a good place to start, it should't be too difficult to get on and their starting to get some volume on their coins.

If you look at the Yobit thread you can see that they've taken some money from a coin to be listed and not gotten back from them. I don't know if there's anything to it though. We should also consider Cryptopia, though they do have two other British-branded coins there -- o2o and SLG.

There is some indecision in the Britcoin team on how to proceed with this project, and we could really use another dev -- Any ideas on who to approach?

I've been keeping quiet to see how things progress. I have an idea that may help Brit. I'll Pm you.

Wow

can't believe Britcoin is still around. I still have a few Brits with me, and I will be donating once a foundation is set Wink

Yea Britcoin is making a comeback, the guy who took over (Ken) has disappeared since stating the thread so a bunch of us from the community are taking things forward.

I think vanitywallets2015 is going to create a foundation with website soon, guess he'll let us know when its ready.

Need to get my head around a couple of things, will be back on skype in a day or two, then take things from there.

Looks like someone might know where Cryptsy's stolen BTC are, if they can get them back then Britcoin on Cryptsy 2.0 has promise too Wink

Cool man, look forward to getting things moving again

I'll be on Skype if you need anything.

I never trusted Cryptsy, removed my coins from there months before it turned out they werel fucked. But I guess if there's new owners and not Big Vern then perhaps it would work. Those stolen Bitcoins aint coming back though Cheesy

Saw a message from greenmo about this being revitalised so have popped back to say hello.

I have the new wallet going on a mac and have 12 nodes connected already! Impressive! Now downloading about a year's worth of blockchain since the last time I fired up BritCoin!

I'll keep my ear close to the ground on this one again as I've always had a bit of a soft spot for it. Look forward to seeing if it's third time lucky!! Will happily consider helping where I can - unfortunately my talents lie in neither coding or marketing though...!

Cheers and all the best.

Looks promising.

Let's get a decent website up with an email subscriber list and establish a 3.0 thread.

Hi all, looks like theres been some positive developments.

I am going to archive the 2.0 and the current blockchain checkpoint and move to the 3.0.

I've been emailing Wil about setting up a foundation and recommendations for an increased fixed POS with a donation strategy to the foundation from existing stake, we should set up a slack and get an official foundation, I am happy to contribute.

I dont mind project managing etc, hopefully Wil has kept you all up to date with my points of view and how we should proceed

Thanks for the report. I have a similar issue, but only sometimes, and nothing like that in my logs. Which log is it in, the tor.log or the debug.log?

nano makefile.unix ./britcoind -daemon -upnp ./britcoind -daemon -upnp

With the fix to the ports in the code, it doesn't seem necessary to use uPnP any more

So, no need to edit the makefile, and no need to use the -upnp argument upon starting the daemon.
