And to that end, we’ve gathered all the news in one place so you can make sure nothing has escaped your attention. Take a look at what we’ve been up to this April.

We have initiated support for social startups helping with the COVID-19 crisis
Coronavirus affects everyone in some form or another. And the crypto industry is not an exception. In this time of need, we are doing our part at HitBTC to help out socially important crypto projects that are fighting the pandemic. What we are offering is platform integration for digital assets developed in support of healthcare activities and cutting-edge science initiatives. You can find more details on our blog.

As part of our initiative, we have already welcomed CureCoin on board. The first project to be integrated into the HitBTC ecosystem, CureCoin has been specifically directing its computing power to aid Folding@Home’s research efforts in the fight against COVID-19.
In honor of CureCoin joining the HitBTC ecosystem, we have conducted an exclusive interview with Josh Smith, CEO of CureCoin, in order to fill our community in on the details of the project. In addition to this interview, we have also had the opportunity to speak with one of the bioinformatics researchers who contributes to CureCoin, and ask her about the technical details of her work.
Demo HitBTC is live. HitBTC launches virtual trading platform
The Demo HitBTC trading simulator has been created to enable beginner traders to master various trading tools and allow experienced traders to test drive new features before they are implemented on the main platform. All the functions in our demo mode are available with a virtual balance of 100 USDT TST and 0.01 BTC TST, which means you can practice trading using test funds under real-life market conditions. The current demo version also offers three markets: BTC/USDT, EOS/BTC, EOS/USDT.

Along with most of the regular features from the HitBTC main platform, what you will find most attractive in the demo is the opportunity to try your hand at margin trading with x5 leverage.

For Bitcore BTX the process appears to be simple, not that hard. After you’ve successfully set up your first Bitcore BTX Masternode using the direction from the developer in Bitcore Telegram official channel, adding addition Masternodes not that difficult, at least not really for me.

1. Based on this procedure https://www.reddit.com/r/bitcore_btx/comments/fv9b8a/bitcore_masternode_guide/ Under Wallet Setup Repeat step 4 to 9. Make sure to use different name or IP … On step 8 make sure to add additional masternode configuration line.
2. Setup another VPS following the VPS setup on the procedure.

That’s about it.

If you have sync problem like “AssetName”: “MASTERNODE_SYNC_WAITING” for a long time without any “true” value. Then try “bitcore-cli mnsync reset”

If you’re having problem with your Bitcore BTX wallet, then try the latest version on bitcore.cc or use the procedure below to fix it.

### Stop your BitCore Daemon
bitcore-cli stop

### Remove Data
cd ~/.bitcore
rm -r blocks/ chainstate/ indexes/ sporks/ *.dat *.log .lock masternode.conf

### Download, Extract and Copy Bootstrap Files
cd ..
apt install unzip
wget https://github.com/LIMXTEC/BitCore/releases/download/0.90.9.1/z_bootstrap.zip
unzip z_bootstrap.zip
cp -r blocks/ chainstate/ .bitcore/

### Start your BitCore Daemon
bitcored -daemon

### Check Headers and Block Height
bitcore-cli getblockchaininfo| grep -i “headers” -B 1

### Compare your Blockhash
bitcore-cli getblockhash 590067
must be identical with —> 0c3bfcb6c59416a6f9906222fc7d3a354825976aea7e1002b133c20c7a443859

### Check Masternode Sync
bitcore-cli mnsync status

and wait until these values are “true”

“IsBlockchainSynced”: true,
“IsMasternodeListSynced”: true,
“IsWinnersListSynced”: true,

Now you can start your Masternode from your BitCore QT Wallet.

Updated 5/5/2020 https://www.bitcointran.com/2020/05/05/how-to-install-bitcore-btx-multiple-masternodes/

The short answer is yes it’s possible but it depend on your hardware and software confirguration.

In general running a masternode can be expensive due to the monthly rent of the VPS from a Datacenter like DigitalOcean Vultr Hostinger and so on, there might be cheaper one but we don’t know how reliable, since MasterNode required stability uptime of 24/24, any interruption can make you loose your profit or profit basically get wiped leaving you with nothing for the day and if it happened daily you make no profit. So it’s best to pick the most stable hardware and software Datacenter.

I did some research on how to have multiple MasterNode on a single VPS, make sure your VPS can handle it. Let say you have 2GB ram you can run 1 MN (MasterNode) safely without much issue. Now let say if you want to add additional MasterNode on the same VPS then you would need an additional IPv4 from your VPS provider, contact them and ask for one with a cost off course, then you would add that IPv4 to your existing server and run another setup of MasterNode #2, now since you only have 2GB Ram might want to enable Swap config can be found here https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-add-swap-space-on-ubuntu-18-04/ so that just in case your 2GB of RAM (physical) used up it can Swap and use your storage as Ram temporary. The issue you might run into running multiple MasterNode is the Ram, it might crashed or whatever and cause your MasterNode to be unstable and there go your profit for the day.

So the recommendation was 1 masternode per 2gb RAM vps. You can possibly install 2 masternode with additional IP and enable Swap. So you can do the math and make determination on what best for you. You could get a 10GB Ram VPS or something or get separate VPS with 1-2GB Ram, then install multiple MasterNode. Compare the prices buying 10GB ram vs buying 5 VPS with 2GB ram.

Sadly I have not done one VPS with multiple masternode yet, but all I know is I got confirmation that this is possible if I have multiple IPv4 and my hardware can support it. It’s a matter of adding the additional IPv4 into your server and repeat the MasterNode setup just like your first one.

Updated May 2nd 2020. There was some chain issue, please refer to this link to fix. This is a fix only not the whole installation process of the MasterNode.

Ok so let one thing correct, Bitcore BTX staking? No, it’s actually running master node (MN) “Masternodes and Staking while usually implemented together, are actually completely separate consensus mechanisms. … They both accomplish distributed consensus via locking of “stake” ,which acts like collateral that they will not attack the network, and get rewards for verifying transactions.”

So Bitcore BTX Master Node, how to set it up and make some Bitcore BTX? Yes, I did it and it is running. There’s a guide written on reddit I believe by one of the developer “https://www.reddit.com/r/bitcore_btx/comments/fv9b8a/bitcore_masternode_guide/” I followed this direction and it’s pretty straight forward, although I know a bit or two about computers. What I don’t get is can I run the server on my personal computer (desktop ubuntu) using my ISP internet, or does it have to be a VPS rented from DigitalOcean Vultr or whatever? I will test that later. The other question I have also is, does the Wallet need to be on at all time, I know the server is running in the background, so I’m assuming the wallet have to be on at all time also. The wallet I installed on a laptop windows 7 computer, the server running the master node vps I use digitalocean.com $10 a month plan.

You do need 2100 BTX to start, I’m not sure if I have more than 2100, but will look into that. So is it profitable? I think if you already hold BTX, I think you can make more that’s as far as I can say safely, because it really up to the price, I mean Bitcore BTC price airdrop was at $32 at one point and then it dropped down to less than $1 after the airdrop the price reflected to Bitcoin price went up to $20k and down to $5k down 3/4. Right now BTX Bitcore is at 22 cent.

From I see, look like Bitcore BTC have active developers working on their road-map, some missed, some hit, but they are working on it. Although the Bitcore BTX coin was almost at top 100 coins during the airdrop but now it sitting around 500s, some days 400s.

A few questions and answer on reddit:

I have a few questions. I’m new. I got one MasterNode running. My questions are:

Is more than 2100 BTX allow? – only 2100 BTX per Masternode

Is it possible to run on a home desktop PC ubuntu computer instead of VPS like vultr? – It’s important to have a static IPv4 address and that your PC runs 24/7

Does the Bitcore BTX wallet have to be on all the time running the MasterNodes? – No, wallet can be closed

Subset of question 3) Can the wallet be installed on the same VPS computer running ubuntu masternode? – It’s recommended to run your wallet on your PC, but sure you can run your wallet on every PC/Server.
