Hello! Is the project still alive? Do you have a discord group? Thanks!

TheKingLol commented 1 year ago

Hey @le2Ks, its been a long time since i logged into this account but to answer your question, I don't have a discord group and this is my personal attempt at building a bitcoin clone which has proved successful. Sorry for the reply 10 months later!

Hello, thank you for your message.

Do you have any plans to create a discord or telegram group for your project in the near future?

Has there been an official announcement of your project yet, like on the BitcoinTalk forum?

I look forward to your reply. Thank you.

I think, as of now, i'll keep this project in its experimental faze. To be honest with you, it doesn't solve a real problem and I don't have volunteers who are willing to contribute to the project. Also this repository is based on version 15 of bitcoin core and it will be a challenge to port the blockchain without loss of transactions. If this coin gets remotely popular people will have powerful computers to mine this coin and they'll get control of the blockchain and much much more issues. Even though this repository's future looks quite grim, it has helped me get the hang of linux and its quite fun. So no, there isn't a discord or telegram but maybe if it gets popular I could work to revive it. Thank you for popping in!

Hi, I understand. Thank you for your reply.

Quick question, what nodes could I get a connection from?

Or instead, could you please share a snapshot of the current blockchain state. If you could for example zip the following folders and share them here:

They should be located to: %appdata%\Bobcoin if you are using Windows system.

TheKingLol commented 11 months ago

To my knowledge there is no node with a full blockchain because i keep on deleting and restoring the blockchain and the providers I used to host the blockchain are down. I am really sorry this isn't what you want to hear but if you want I can create a node running 24/7

Ah okay, no problem.

If we create a new node, and if you get your personal wallet connect to it, it would download your current blockchain state; which would be helpful yes.

Either that or if you can send your personal blockchain files (not the wallet.dat obviously) here it would be helpful.

TheKingLol commented 11 months ago

Honestly, I think there is no real blockchain in the network (there's no network lol) so my only option is to start fresh with a few nodes

TheKingLol commented 11 months ago

If you are looking for a cryptocurrency like mine that is active, its better for you to look for something like strayacoin or faithcoin

le2Ks commented 11 months ago

Alright, that sounds good. If you're okay with it, I'm ready to begin mining with the new node.

le2Ks commented 11 months ago

I like the Bobcoin in particular. Mining new blockchain is also more interesting.

TheKingLol commented 11 months ago

It might take a while for me to setup a node

le2Ks commented 11 months ago

No problem, take your time. Thank you.

le2Ks commented 11 months ago

If you want, while we restart it, we could use one of the most recent version of Bitcoin.

le2Ks commented 11 months ago

Made a new version of the logo for the source code. Similar to old one but a bit sharper with 32bit colors and some effects. What do you think?

TheKingLol commented 11 months ago

That looks pretty good 😃. I could never do it as good

le2Ks commented 11 months ago

Glad you like it! Would you agree that we use it for the coin?

Hi, any update? Thank you.
