We are minting some coins for a private investor who will provide an infusion of fiat and expertise to help us to make the coin user-friendly and build in mixing features like Dash's.There will be a new wallet coming soon to re-mint these coins -- the old coins became unminted due to someone staking a lot on the old fork.Obviously we'll make sure the same thing doesn't happen again.The new release will include a maximum staking age of 2.5 years (previously it was unlimited), so get those Britcoins out of storage to stake!You don't completely lose interest if your coins haven't moved for 2.5 years, but you start to forgo additional interest.EDIT: Actually the new release will include a fix to the stake overflow issue seen in many PoS coins where you don't get the amount of interest you deserve from a very large stake.If you've had one large UTxO sitting there for a year or more you may want to wait to stake until after the particular block when that change takes effect.britcoin Nickel Bitcoiner Posts: 36 Joined: Mon Jun 06, 2016 7:10 pm Re: [ANN][♔] Britcoin 3 [BRIT] | 5% annual PoS Britcoin 3.3.0.0 britcoin Nickel Bitcoiner Posts: 36 Joined: Mon Jun 06, 2016 7:10 pm Re: [ANN][♔] Britcoin 3 [BRIT] | 5% annual PoS Rmcdermott927 Bronze Bitcoiner Posts: 547 Joined: Tue Sep 20, 2016 7:32 pm Re: [ANN][♔] Britcoin 3 [BRIT] | 5% annual PoS britcoin Nickel Bitcoiner Posts: 36 Joined: Mon Jun 06, 2016 7:10 pm Re: [ANN][♔] Britcoin 3 [BRIT] | 5% annual PoS 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.io domain though unfortunately.

You don't lose stake after this point, but you don't accrue stake any further.This has already taken effect in a sense, but can't possibly affect anyone until the 2.5th anniversary of this coin, which I believe is this 27th December.New wallet versionsThere are new v3.3.0.2 wallets now available at britcoin.xyz.Upgrading from v3.3.0.0 (which most people are using, as that was the last version that Windows and Mac wallets were compiled for) is recommended and desirable, but not essential.These new versions reject connections from clients older than v3.3.0.0, as well they should because v3.3.0.0 was a hard fork.They also have a few more hardcoded checkpoints to keep people on track while syncing.If you have a version older than v3.3.0.0, you should have upgraded already and will likely be on an outdated fork.britcoin Nickel Bitcoiner Posts: 36 Joined: Mon Jun 06, 2016 7:10 pm Re: [ANN][♔] Britcoin 3 [BRIT] | 5% annual PoS /explorer/Britcoin/ Return to “Altcoins / Alternative Cryptocurrencies” Who is online Users browsing this forum: No registered users and 8 guests
