What terrible organization. Is anyone in charge of this coin? You don't even notify the pool operators of a fork?

Hmmmm

So to better understand...

A Fork may have happened late January.
Mullick adds a checkpoint into the code @ 100835 Block height.
Deamwatchers block explorer (http://btb.cryptocoinexplorer.com/) is correct and current since checkpoint @ 100835
Captain AKs pool ( http://btb.pnwminer.com/ ) is current & in sync with dreamwatchers block explorer.
Cryptsy ( https://www.cryptsy.com/ ) is recognizing units from this chain.

https://hash-to-coins.com/ is showing Bitbar down for maintainence today, possibly to sync?

Its down because I told the pool operator something was up.

Ok - so what has happened here since Feb 16th? I've been mining BTB for a long time -- now I'm not finding 60+ BTB coins due to me in my Cryptsy account.

I use hash-to-coins pool. Did I lose all of this mining time?

Was this hard-forked? Hash-to-Coins is showing block 102464 as just mined, but the other block explorers aren't even close to that.

I hope this is not coin gone SCAM. Not happy here.

I have forked the repository and added a checkpoint to secure what we are calling the valid chain going forward. It can be located here but I wont be able to maintain it going forward.

https://github.com/Mullick/bitbar

Deposits and withdrawals are back online at Cryptsy

So I assume that means Cryptsy is in sync with https://altexplorer.info/chains/BTB/block_crawler.php and not http://btb.cryptocoinexplorer.com/ ?

If that's the case I've wasted 2 weeks of mining on http://btb.pnwminer.com/

Nope the opposite actually

We are now in sync with http://btb.cryptocoinexplorer.com/

As well as http://btb.pnwminer.com/

All your mined coins are valid

Thanks for the info on Mintsy and keep us posted. I have a some miners who would like to do some Crypsty deposits once you get back on the original chain.

Thanks CaptainAK, does this mean my recently mined coins should be safe?

It looks like I run 2/3 nodes on that fork. And deposits since then have been minimal. Im comfortable with going with the other chain. Ill be resyncing tonight and update the thread when its back online. If you mined at CaptainAK's pool your recently mined coins will be safe

Ill be manually adding a checkpoint to our client. Does anyone have access to the original repository anymore?

Probably not, but at one point (over a year ago) I did clone the project, added checkpoints, and added network hashrate calcs to it. It worked, but not being a programmer by trade, I was a little leery to advertise it. It still exists, but I have been using the stock source up until now.

My guess would be that if you created a BTB address with Cryptsy BEFORE the fork, then any BTB you mined and sent to your Cryptsy address will be fine. If you made the address AFTER the fork, then your BTB may be lost. You would need to ask the guys at Cryptsy, because once the transactions leaves my wallet, there is not much I can do.

Do I have that about right Mullick? Not even sure there is anything you guys can do.

In terms of btb.cryptocoinexplorer.com:

I have changed the market quote to Cryptsy, as BTER is shut down.

Let me know if I need to change/update/rebuild...etc the daemon and/or explorer database once the correct chain is decided upon.

Ya there must be a pool out there mining this chain as well. Since the chain is longer. And has a higher difficulty.

Looks like the fork occured at block 100835

https://altexplorer.info/chains/BTB/index.php?block_hash=000000000299a2ea6c2d3b3a4f134c14dc9d7a09ac694902c04ecb4adb6ec3cf

http://btb.cryptocoinexplorer.com/block?block=100835

This is roughly 1100 blocks in the past. Cryptsy has received 175 deposits since then.

I have reached out to some of the affected users to track if its a pool or solo miners taking advantage of the situation. Although they would have no benefit mining that chain right now with its difficulty

EDIT:

I have received confirmation Mintsy has not mined bitbar yet

Hi All, I think I am running the oldest BTB pool at this point btb.pnwminer.com and I have been using the explorer at http://btb.cryptocoinexplorer.com/ for a long time. It looks like the fork took place right around the 18th of January.

Mullick, Is that went Minsty went live? I am just wondering if it accidentally forked when the beta site starting mining. Pure speculation, of course. I have no idea what coins it mines.

And we are finding blocks on the other chain. My pool alone has found 832 blocks in the past 4 weeks and that only accounts for about 20% of the total found blocks in the same time period. So there are a lot of people mining the pools on this chain.

It also appears from other posts in this thread, that others are using the http://btb.cryptocoinexplorer.com chain. It is mentioned multiple times in just the last few posts.

There appears to be a fork in the network

Cryptsy matches my independant node here

https://altexplorer.info/chains/BTB/block_crawler.php

While the other chain appears to be struggling to find blocks over here

http://btb.cryptocoinexplorer.com/

I have suspended depsoits and withdrawals for bitbar until the situation is resolved
