- it looks like the register is already open.
- blockchain explorer is still not active (link dead).
- about the wallet, for now you can only download the manual.
the wallet was developed using Qt5.
to use the wallet on Linux, you have to install some dependencies.
- it says Petro will be a X11 (PoW/PoS) coin.
some say it will be something like DASH.
- it says Petro will be ¿active? in November.
i don't know why you quoted this old post with old news.
new news:- right now Petro v2.0 is active, but in its early stage.
as far as i know for now, you can buy and receive your petros but you can't move or transfer them.
- blockchain explorer is active and working:
explorador.petro.gob.vesearch for a block number, for example 399, and you will see a few transactions.
click on those transactions and you will see public addreses or wallets.
this last week it went from block ~170 to ~400.
- they decided start with a web wallet.
warning: like all web wallets, you don't own your private keys.
the web wallet can be hacked but i don't think you're gonna lose your petros, the blockchain can be returned to a previous stage before the attack.
if you don't like web wallets, don't buy Petros for now.
- right now you can only buy Petros in the official web page:
petro.gob.vei think you will need spanish and you have to identify yourself sending photos and documents.
if you don't wanna deal with the venezuelan government and spanish, wait for the exchanges that will be operate with Petros.
as far as i know, six venezuelan exchanges will start working with Petros, but they aren't ready yet.
if you still wanna try, buy a small amount: 5, 10, 20 dollars or the minimum they ask... don't go crazy.
and always remember this:
don't think that
petro.gob.ve will be available 24 hours 7 days a week.
it's a government website, not an automatic exchange.
try to access the website during office hours in Venezuela.
Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm (GMT -04:00)
outside that, the website can be down for maintenance, technical problems, changes, or whatever...
- for the people that already bought petros previously (Petro v1.0)
as far as i know, you have to contact
@sunacripve if they have not done it yet.
they will send you the new petros v2.0 to your new wallet.
The official info is that everyone who bought PTR when the ICO was first launched,
is going to be "recognized" in order to receive the "New" PTR version, so your investment is NOT lost.
