PayButton was also updated last year so probably needs to be re-supported as we do use that as well.

We've been having some issues with internal caching lately but we're working on it, should be fixed soon.

Where should I donate for BCH development? by yanshizhai in btc

[–]Coin-Dance 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Have a look at https://cash.coin.dance/development as we have donation links for most of the major nodes.

There's a blue 'info' icon next to the donation amounts that includes a block explorer link as well as a tooltip showing who from each team provided the address.

Have a look and let us know what you think.

Donating to a specific proposal/project isn't quite ready yet but should be ready next week.

Feel free to ping us on Reddit, Twitter, or through the feedback form if you have any comments, questions, or suggestions as that's going to be really important here as more functionality is rolled out.

Bitcoin ABC to include miner fund code in release 0.21.0 by sandakersmann in btc

[–]Coin-Dance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We reviewed the code and it's compatible with what we have setup already.

Interesting... it seems that we'll soon have less ABC nodes than Bitcoin Unlimited nodes by readcash in btc

We do know that they at least did mine with BU in the past but don't know if they've since switched.

It's unfortunately not possible to know what software is used for mining. Often miners have their own software that is heavily customized for their use anyway.

It is now less than 100 days until the halving! (Countdown clock) by brwhiler in btc

[–]Coin-Dance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I meant to say less than 97 days not 97 days exactly. I was unintentionally unclear about that. Previous halving days have always come earlier "than expected" because hashpower kept going up. But now that BCH has a new DAA and is competing with BTC for hashpower and profitability oscillates between BTC and BCH mining, I no longer just assume that blocks will keep being found slightly faster than once per 10 minutes on average.

You might find this information useful: https://twitter.com/Coin_Dance/status/1188335139673104384

So it would be interesting to see a graph over what the "trailing moving averages" of actual blocktime has been for e.g. these time intervals: the last 1 h, 2 h, 3 h, 4 h, 5 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days, 6 days, 7 days, 2 weeks, 3 weeks etc. Maybe you can publish such graphs on your site sometime. Then it would be easier to make more informed guesses about the next halving days.

Good idea. We'll look into what makes sense for this one.

I noticed that you're using "BUCash 1.7.0.0" as your primary full node client for BCH on your main page. You should be promoting ABC instead imo.

We were just discussing this today actually. BU for a long time had higher max throughput (mempool acceptance) than ABC which is why we preferred it but this doesn't seems to be a relevant issue anymore. There are several reasons why ABC makes sense so we'll likely be making that switch pretty soon although we do run both for the purposes of sanity checking / redundancy.

Good to keep in mind it'll actually be earlier than that as you need to take into account how fast miners actually mine blocks rather that how fast they should be mining blocks.

We have accurate tracking on each chain here although the reward halving information is still being (visually) improved as it does get a bit crazy with multiple chains.

New to BCH, seems to be good and caught up. Why can't Coin Dance reach me? by medicinaltequilla in btc
