Updates on the development of wallets.
The developer team is working to be ready in time for the release of the Android wallet this weekend. As for iOS, the approval process may take more time. We thank you for your patience.

This is a notice to the #한국어 community.

We thank you for participating in the community, however, there seems to be lots of confusion related to a few important matters that this project:
- please read and understand the rules mentioned in the second post of #announcements and the respective translation pinned by the contributors in your channel.
- is a HARDFORK and NOT and ICO.
- is open source and all members are contributors of an open source project.
- has developers that are across the world coordinating to contribute towards the running of this project.
- does NOT ASK or TAKE any form of money to return/give you with MBC.
- wallets are in development and will be released once they are ready for a stable release.
- please watch the videos provided in #what-is-a-hardfork to learn more about the project.
- if you're a developer, reach out to us to discuss possible areas to build upon.

We'd like you to understand that the development and its progress are not a service to any of us but a platform we look forward to abide by Satoshi Nakamoto's original proposal, a *decentralized peer-to-peer payments protocol*.

Mining Pools
We're soon heading into the main phase of the operations and would like to discuss the mining operations of MBC via pools. The current dev team is looking at using the widely used node-stratum-pool to build a custom version and open source it. Please join #mining-pool to discuss further.

A big shout out to the community in South Korea for taking their time and effort to participate in the Queer Parade that took place over the weekend. The participation is not only for MBC but as for the cryptocurrency community as a whole to share the idea of open collaboration and diversity that are core to this project. With such young technology like blockchain that has only come to light in the recent year, this project aims to provide a peer-to-peer micro-payments platform and we are very much open to contributions as an open source community.

Fellow community members, the team would like to thank your participation. However, with recent growing concerns going on in the #한국어 channel, the community should understand that this is a *HARDFORK* project and AS MENTIONED IN ANNOUNCEMENTS, any form of misdemeanor, lack of respect, or accusations including threats will lead to the community moderators to exercise discipline.

Updates and latest information is in #announcements channel, make sure to refer to it. Further posts are PINNED in respective channels if there's a moderator available. Please DO NOT post or share any information that is NOT CONFIRMED by the moderators or the team.

Each moderator here has provided their precious time to communicate with a team spread out across the world to provide up to date information to the community. The project has a roadmap to achieve and without community assistance, this project wouldn't be what it is. The developers are open to contributions as well.

A few updates from the dev team.

- daemon builds are finalized and will be released in the next couple of days! Miners, developers, exchanges, and esteem community members, let's aim for 1000 full nodes for a more stable and secure network to be running 🙂
*In perspective, BTC has over 9000 and BCH has over 2000 (numbers from <https://coin.dance/nodes>)*

- to run your own node, there will be a separate announcement with a blog post or guide posted here, please stay tuned!

- TESTNET is also LIVE! Fellow devs join #testnet for further discussions *(faucet is still in the making but you can technically mine for some coins)*.

- current block height is at 525,012 after the dev team had to mine a few blocks to make sure that new blocks that have been mined are accepted by the network.

- miners please join #mining-pool to discuss more about mining. The devs are ready to provide support as this is important for the development and functioning of MBC WALLETS.

*IF THERE'RE NOT ENOUGH MINERS THE CONTRIBUTORS AND TEAM WILL START MINING TO SUPPORT THE RELEASE OF WALLETS.*

As a reminder, please practice caution as to not provide the community with any misleading content and that any information shared should be verified with legitimacy. This also includes scams (this project is **NOT AN ICO**), spam messages, insults, misdemeanors, or any other form of behavior that may offend others in the community.

MicroBitcoin Daemon and CLI Release
The developer team would like to thank everyone for their patience and would like to announce the release of the first Daemon and CLI builds for MicroBitcoin Protocol. The builds are available for LINUX and OSX at the moment.
You can download the builds using the following link:
<https://github.com/MicroBitcoinOrg/MicroBitcoin/releases>

*Please note that this is the first pre-release version 0.16.1. For bugs or issues, please use the provided Github repository.*

TESTNET
Run the daemon with the -testnet flag.

MINING POOLS
If you're running a pool, feel free to add MBC and if there are any problems, please discuss it in the #mining-pool channel. There are two repositories forked from zone117x/node-stratum-pool and zone117x/node-open-mining-portal for MicroBitcoin which are <https://github.com/MicroBitcoinOrg/NodeStratumPool> and <https://github.com/MicroBitcoinOrg/Pool> respectively. The provided pool is still under development and looking for contributors to help complete it.

WALLET & EXPLORER DEVELOPERS
Developers looking to build wallets and explorers, the core developers have started an ElectrumX Server repository which can be found here <https://github.com/MicroBitcoinOrg/ElectrumX>. It is in working condition but may be buggy. Feel free to setup your server and build!

*Please note that the provided software are pre-release versions and may be unstable.*

QT Wallet Decimal BUG
Please be advised there's a small bug identified within the current QT wallet. The ratio of 1:10,000 hasn't been implemented accordingly and may cause your wallet to show incorrectly. Developers requesting NOT to use it until this issue has been fixed.

Ladies and gentlement...
And now the moment you've all been waiting for...

The first release of the Android wallet beta is here!
Download link 👉 <https://microbitcoin.org/assets/apps/MBC_v0.8.0.apk>

This first release includes the following functionalities:
- creating and restoring MicroBitcoin (MBC) Addresses,
- sending and receiving MicroBitcoins (MBC),
- request to receive a specific amount in MicroBitcoins (MBC).

Please note that this release only supports importing Bitcoin (BTC) private keys by use of the RECOVERY or MNEAMONIC PHRASE (series of words).

For those who had Bitcoin (BTC) at the time of the snapshot at Bitcoin (BTC) block height of 525,000, IF your address was a *Legacy* address (starting with number "`1`" of your address) your address will have MicroBitcoins in the 1:10,000 ratio as mentioned.
And for those who had addresses starting with "`3`" (which is usually either a multisig wallet, SegWit address or other types) there will be support for it in the next update of the wallet, the developers are working day and night to provide this *ASAP!*

*Lastly, this is a beta version of the first release of the Android wallet and there may be errors caused during operation. Please provide feedback in such a case.*

Addition to the previous announcement, for those who know how to use the QT Wallet, feel free to go ahead and import your private keys and run using the -reindex=1 flag and once it fully syncronizes, you should have MicroBitcoins (MBC) in the ratio of 1:10,000 AS LONG AS you had Bitcoin (BTC) at the time of snapshot - Bitcoin (BTC) block height 525,000

Reminder to the Korean community that this is a HARDFORK project and NOT AN ICO to ask you for any money. If anyone did so, please talk with them as this project DID NOT, it's best to DEAL with the person that told you.

The only way you can get MBC are either:
- you had Bitcoin (BTC) at block height 525,000 and claimed them via QT Wallet, CLI, or Android Wallets,
- or by mining MicroBitcoins (MBC)

The details are in the official repository <https://github.com/MicroBitcoinOrg/MicroBitcoin> and in the whitepaper <https://microbitcoin.org/assets/MBC_Whitepaper_v2.pdf>

Some quick development updates so far:
- Current height is 525,616 which means there're some miners out there already mining!
- QT Wallet has been updated and the previous bug is fixed.
- QT Wallet for Windows not yet built but source is available in the official repository <https://github.com/MicroBitcoinOrg/MicroBitcoin>.
- Android users check this guide to the first release of the wallet <https://medium.com/microbitcoinorg/microbitcoin-android-wallet-guide-893b5d8300f1>.

Here's a quick guide to how you can contribute by setting up your own MicroBitcoin full node <https://medium.com/microbitcoinorg/microbitcoin-nodes-setup-guide-b166d8c619f7>

We have Microbitcoin Stickers! Feel free to share and stick on :)
