Just one more thing: We need everyone who stakes to be on v3.3.0.3 going forwards. There are too many reports of people falling out of sync after staking on older versions. To that end I've gotten a Mac version of 3.3.0.3 produced, which you can find a link to in the OP (page 1 of this thread ...

Fellow Britians,

The six months for which the investor gave funding have passed, and as we didn't have things such as SPV wallets with HD addresses by the deadline, it isn't clear if he'll continue funding this Britcoin revival project.

In any case, I've lost motivation to continue so I think now ...

Britcoin is live on Cryptomate.co.uk for people to buy BRIT using GBP! They're a bit short-staffed as regards vendors right now so please get in touch if you're a trustworthy known individual and want to sell coins.

Britcoin 3.3.0.3 is now available at https://britcoin.com/wallets/ and https ...

General update - 23rd March 2017

Wallet development

Thanks to the BRIT community on being patient about these. We cannot release new mobile or desktop wallets yet because they depend on an Electrum server, and there's a bug in the Britcoin Electrum server where it becomes unresponsive after a ...

Tail emission

I've noticed that the max coin supply (of 20 or 30 million coins) was never properly set, not even in Britcoin 1, so I plan to release a fix for that.

I can easily cap it at 30 million and have already written code to do that.

Does anyone have any thoughts about a "tail emission ...

No statement yet from C-Cex about CloudBleed, but I see they have a CloudFlare certificate, so please change your C-Cex passwords!

britcoin

Looks like we're safe on C-Cex for now! Please don't ignore the next delisting warning from C-Cex though if one ever comes, as they don't always allow you to withdraw your coins after delisting!

britcoin

It seems we are being delisted from C-Cex on 1st Feb. Please withdraw all your Britcoins from there in advance of this date.

Note that we are still listed at CoinExchange.io.

Another new block explorer at https://chainz.cryptoid.info/brit/

We wanted it for the API

Blocktime target and maximum stake age

Looks like the move to a 2-minute target blocktime was successful :)

The only remaining change in the v3.3 wallets to take effect is that there is a maximum stake age of 2.5 years. You don't lose stake after this point, but you don't accrue stake any ...

britcoin

Already in the v3.3 wallet, there's a shift from a 1 min blocktime target to a 2 min blocktime target, set to happen at block 1,076,800.

Now we're at block 1,072,183, and there's about 1,440 blocks a day if there aren't any non-staking periods, so the change should happen this Friday

BRIT has been added as a payout coin at the multipool ProHashing.com!

The next change to take effect will be a fix to the staking calculations. At present, when large amounts are staked, it could cause an overflow, and the staker would get far less than the 5% annual interest. A lot of 2014 coins had this kind of issue, including New PiggyCoin.

The fix is set to ...

The 'Source on Github' link on BRIT's info box on C-Cex is still linking to v3.2. It needs to link to v3.3 at https://github.com/britcoin3/britcoin3.3

Anyone else want to open a support ticket about this? We already have done but no response yet.

OK, they've done it now

The new coins have been minted. :) If you are running a wallet older than v3.3.0.0 you are certainly now on an old fork and I would ask you to stop running your wallet and upgrade ASAP.

britcoin

Just out of curiosity, I know Britcoin has gone through several iterations of ownership. When did you acquire it?

I (Mo) didn't really acquire it; I just started fixing some bugs common to 2014-made proof-of-stake coins earlier this year, and it's grown into this :8] We no longer have the ...

britcoin

So, all went well with the change to restrict timedrift -- That's the allowance for blocks to be accepted which deviate from the expected timestamp.

Next, the investor coins are set to be re-minted at block 1,056,500 -- Looks like that'll be this coming Thursday or Friday.

britcoin

Britcoin 3.3.0.0 is now available at britcoin.xyz! Please upgrade by Sunday. Sorry for short notice again.

Updates:
- Timedrift allowance restricted further (to take place this Sunday at noon)
- Investor coins re-minted (to take place after that, sometime next week)
- Fix for staking of large ...

How are you different compared to other altcoins? especially ones that are only temporarily in the spotlight.

Sorry, I don't check this forum often.

Britcoin's entirely on TOR nowadays so you can hide your IP address for more privacy. We are minting some coins for a private investor who will ...

Fork successful!

Thanks again to xCore and mammix2 for the help with this hard fork. Please everyone keep an eye on your BRIT news channels as there will be another hard fork before the end of year to slow the block time and introduce a maximum staking age.

britcoin

There was a problem for some users with the Mac wallet. A fixed version has now been uploaded to britcoin.xyz.

britcoin

Mac v3.2.1.0 wallet now available at britcoin.xyz.

All users should upgrade to v3.2.1.0 ASAP.

britcoin

Sorry, still waiting on Mac version.

Looks like the fork block, 1,038,000, will take a little while longer to arrive than expected -- There've been some slow periods since the time I calculated the block number to put into the code, and I've been avoiding bringing some more coins online for staking ...

Our CryptoBE block explorer is updating today so they might not show you the most recent blocks

britcoin

v3.2.1.0 source code and wallets now available at http://britcoin.xyz

Please upgrade before the weekend.

Still waiting for someone to compile the Mac wallet; stand by on that.

If you compile it yourself, be sure to use bdb 4.8 and not bdb 5+.

britcoin

Looks like the fork didn't work. We have some idea of why, but we've decided to downgrade to Britcoin v3.0.0.1 for the time being. Please:

1. Close your Britcoin v3.2 wallets.

2. Make a backup of your data directory, which you can find in these locations:

Linux:

~/.britcoin/

MacOS ...

britcoin

The person who stakes block 1,020,000 tonight will forgo his own staking rewards for that block. So you might want to avoid bringing online any large chunks of BRIT that haven't moved or staked for two years :8]
