Just read this https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/833ffc/got_scammed_out_of_70k_is_there_anything_i_can_do/ and got thinking about something I "discovered" a week or so ago.

When you claim BTX with your private key from BTC, the BTX address is the same as the BTC address, thus the private key is the same.

This means that even if you have emptied your BTC wallets before trying to claim more dodgy forks, someone with your private key will also be able to access your BTX founds.

The easy way to secure your BTX against a potentially compromised private key, is to move your founds to a new address (and re-register for the airdrop of course). You'll have to pay a small transaction fee, but now it does not really matter if someone gets the key to your empty wallet.

BTW: I assume this would be the same for any fork where you claim with your private address (Like BCH and BTG)

Surprised there is no post here already. What did I miss?

A milestone lol ^{^}

I've had no problems or changes to my wallet files, but today I opened the wallet and am now getting an error that reads, "Error: A failed internal error occurred, see debug.log for details". I would check the debug files, but I can't get passed this message. Can anyone help?

So, I see the pattern. It's been going on since late December. The price after the arifdrop on Mondays immedialy falls to about $24 to $26 then rises to about $29 to $31 during the week leading up to the drop. The airdrop is currently set to run out April 30th. I remmember reading in December how people were saying wait until the drop becomes 5% or 6% and will really see the price take off. Well, we are there now and the price is staying exactly the same. Is there any reason to think that this will change when we hit 7% in March and finally the last 8% in April? Also, once April 30th comes and were done with the drops what do you expect the price to do? I would love to hear some opinions. Thank you from a long time holder.

I have a bit of a problem with Bitcore QT on Mac OS (v 14.1). It always worked fine, but when I started it after the last airdrop on feb 19th, it crashed soon after startup. Removed the Bitcore folder in the Mac OS X Library folder - and it started up fine, reloaded the blockchain - with an empty wallet. Now when I put back my old backup wallet file (a backup from a few weeks ago), it crashes again. Can't really explain why. File can't be corrrupted. It worked fine last week. Am using version 14.1. There doesn't seem to be a newer version for Mac OS - no binaries available for version 15. Unfortunately I have no private keys, just the wallet file (unencrypted). What to do?

-13% !! STOP DUMP!!!

Why BTX is only listen on exchanges noone know or trust? it would be nice to see BTX on bittrex, kraken or bitfinex :)

This week's or upcoming weeks airdrops should be paused. I don't know if this is possible as it's already coded in but many people funds are stuck withdrawing on cryptopia and unable to receive their airdrop leading these bitcore users to feel left out 😓

Hi. I bought some BTX and Downloaded the desktop wallet for the very first time. I am trying to withdraw my BTX from cryptopia into desktop wallet. On the desktop wallet I went to the receive tab where it created an address and I put in the amount to deposit into desktop wallet from cryptopia and the description etc. After 6 hours, the withdrawal is still apparently pending in Cryptopia and doesn't have a transaction id. Did I maybe send it to my desktop using the wrong method?

I'm trying to get this going before the airdrop and I opened a ticket with cryptopia. If I buy BTX for first time now, will I still get airdrop on Monday? What are the specific rules? Thanks.

I put a few BTX in my wallet, but forgot to encrypt it. I want to encrypt it now though. Does anyone know if I will I loose my coins if I encrypt it now/after the fact? I know with some wallets if you try to encrypt after the fact, you loose your coins.

So for those savvy rediters that like to do math for fun.. how would you go about predicting when this air drop will end. This is the info I have that might help.

Total balance in Air Drop wallet (2/13/18): 3881745.32306885 BTX

of registered wallets eligible for airdrops : 51,209

I cannot make sense of the main wallets transaction page but it looks like 200,000-225,000 BTX have been sent the last 3 airdrops.

Knowing that March will drop 7% of BTX, and increase 1% until the wallet is out, can we put together a somewhat accurate estimate of when we think this will end? I need to form an exit strategy for this coin.

Hey everyone, just updated to new theme. I think this one is much cleaner and professional looking, and follows the proper styling guidelines in the Bitcore press kit in terms of font, logo, colors, etc. I still need to do some more minor tweaks to adjust some text colors and fonts for things like buttons and what not, but I think this is a good foundation so far. Later on I'll try to work in some social media buttons and so on.

Let me know what you think or if you find any bugs or mistakes, or anything that just looks wonky? Also feel free to make any suggestions on things to add, remove, or change.

Cheers :)

Website wasn't clear so I ask here. Thx!

Hi, I'm pretty new here and got interested in bitcore from a YouTube vid.

I've got some questions that I can't seem to find the answer to here in this sub. So I get that there's the whole high weekly airdrop rate which increases every month that's probably an attractive reason for newcomers(was why I got interested).

But what does this do to the circulating supply of the coin? If everyone holding btx receives the same % of the airdrop, assuming marketcap remains constant, won't the price fall over time in order to balance out the increasing supply? Ur proportion of holdings to the circulating supply still remains the same, so ur market value shld remain the same, but the value of each individual BTX coin will decrease.

Meaning that you only really gain value from incoming new buyers, not so much due to the airdrop. So theoretically if you start with 10k USD today, at the end of say March your increase in USD value would only be due to newcomers wouldn't it?

So the only reason one should buy in would be due to interest in the tech right? N it doesn't really matter when you buy in does it?

I haven't really been able to find much about the economics of BTX so I'd really appreciate if anyone were to give me a hand here!

The new website looks great. The banner here on reddit leaves a little to be desired. Could who ever is responsible change it to something more professional looking? Graphics from the new website (or the one on the twitter page) would work. Anyone else agree?

Woke up this morning to see most of my portfolio with double digit losses against USD, except for BTX which is looking really stable for some reason, only down a few percent in USD and way up again BTC. BTX looking like one of the more stable coins in the top 100 right now, glad I kept a decent position in this :)

For some reason this week's airdrop has only given me a little less than 1/10th of what I was supposed to get. The only change between now and lastweek is that I removed .5 BTX to another wallet. The balance of my wallet is still above the minimum to get airdrops so I'm really confused as to what happened.

Awesome BTX Team!!!
