We appreciate your effort to make btcu a great and successful btc fork, but we would like to ask what you need the binaries for?

Well, you adapted Bitcoin Core RPC commands, although you will replace the consensus rules completely, so I wanted to test them. Of course I would also like to see your GUI and how the other features you announced to implement look like. I would also like to check if you have really taken over the entire Bitcoin block and transaction history, which would mean that creating a blockchain explorer for your coin would require indexing the entire Bitcoin blockchain into a database to enable address lookup and forward lookup of the TxID history. Please note that providing a fully indexed blockchain explorer would result in a local SQL database that is at least twice as large as the full blockchain with tx-index history, which means that the database would require at least around 600 GB of disk space. Please also note that nobody will trust your project if there doesn't exist any blockchain explorer. It should also be clear that you can't run a public main chain without the system ever having been tested in the test net before. To test at least the basic functions I would need a x64-Win setup together with some test coins please (for the readers here: which couldn't be used for the main chain anyway).

BTCU_official could you please answer?
