Community,
We are pleased to announce that the official revival of the Bitcoin-sCrypt (BTCS) Altcoin has begun. As such, we have three important announcements to share.
Announcement 1
As part of the revival, we have set up a Bitcoin-sCrypt Discord channel for the BTCS community to communicate.
Join the live Bitcoin-sCrypt discussion here: https://discord.gg/EAXdR8j
Announcement 2
As part of the revival, Spidersbox will take over lead development for Bitcoin-sCrypt and Smokeasy will step back to take a secondary supporting role.
Spidersbox is a talented and experienced cryptocoin developer who has agreed to take over leadership of the Bitcoin-sCrypt project to restore BTCS back to its previous luster…with assistance from his team from previous cryptocoin projects reviving other coins, which include:
BitBar
LiteBar
BitcoinFast
LitecoinPlus
We welcome Spidersbox and his team to the Bitcoin-sCrypt community!
Announcement 3
As part of the revival, Bitcoin-sCrypt is looking to change the consensus mechanism from pure Proof-of-Work to a hybrid Proof-of-Work/Proof-of-Stake system to ensure mining remains decentralized.
The first steps will be adding repairwallet, zapwallettxes and coin control to the current client wallet to set up the framework for implementing Proof-of-Stake. These changes will not require a hard-fork, while the later change to a hybrid Proof-of-Stake system will.
More info can be found at the official Bitcoin-sCrypt Discord channel: https://discord.gg/EAXdR8j
We are excited about the future of Bitcoin-sCrypt!
Thanks,
~Smokeasy
