[ANN] BitCoinFast BCF - revival

[Spidersbox 62]

also, around the new year - we should have a new web site design!

Next year is looking good for Bitcoin Fast!

With a newly designed website, pow and pos repaired and working properly - I think it will be time to add some new exchanges and rock this puppy   8)

Sorry about the delay with the new wallet - but IT IS READY!
There were several things wrong - I would find one problem and correct it - then test it for a week, and other issues would show up.
I do now know why the wallet has never staked properly since the day is was made.
It does now. :D

Web site has been updated - you can download the new wallet at any time now.
It comes as a windows installer now  :)
github repo has been updated - please tell all the pools about the:

MANDATORY update.

The fork will happen at Monday Feb. 26 00:00:00 UTC
so there is plenty of time to spread the word.

a side note:
the pos difficulty is so high right now, it will probably take a while for it to come back down - someone will actually have to stake so the code can figure out what the next difficulty should be.

Good...

The new code in the wallet is working well.
the PoS difficulty has dropped from 139 to 30 so far (30 hours after the fork).
As more wallets stake, the difficulty will continue to drop, as it should.
The rate of decrease will slow as we move on.
It's nice to see so many POS blocks in the explorer  :)

Mandatory wallet update soon

we seem to be experiencing  a "Time Warp" attack - it is an exploit on the KMW
that is the reason for the rush on the next wallet update.

Still waiting to hear from Cryptopia to find out how little time they need to rush this through, so I can set a time for the fork.

I would suggest not bothering to mine BCF right now - as the person doing the attack will be stealing all of the blocks, and you would just be wasting your hash.
Cryptopia has put the BCF wallet into maintenance, awaiting the update.

I will be removing the kimoto gravity wall from the wallet in the next update - about two weeks from now (depending on Cryptopia's time frame)

That sucks.  Hope things clear up.

[Spidersbox 62]

yes it does. but it is fixable.  minor setback.
too many crooks and thieves in the world.

we have a channel for pools on our discord - we list the pools and am now gathering email contacts.
Please submit your email address there (I think everbody has read/write access)
Or if you prefer - you can send me a PM here or at discord - Please put "POOL" as the first line, or as the subject - so I can find it faster  

There is also a a place at the bottom of our website to sign up for a news letter.
I will use those to announce the upcoming fork date.
