Use the most recent bootstrap that's here:

Yesterday I did a quick survey on twitter just to have a quick feedback about the expected amount of beans from sprouting. The link to the tweet is: https://twitter.com/BitbSproutCalc/status/970532000653332480

Tweet: "Time for some feedback guys! I would like to know what you guys think about the http://sproutingcalculator.com . Has the expected sprouting been right according to the beans you have been sprouting?Have you sprout more or less than expected?"


got so far 4 replies:

- "I have sprout more"
- "same here i am sprouting alot"
- "8.4% sprouting for me"
- "It's bean more then expected."

I don't mind if expected bean after a month is HIGHER than expected.

Note: I have tried to have all the BEANS sprouting in one address and in different addresses, and my conclusion is that regarding staking it looks like it does not matter if you have all in one address or in more than one. Currently, I have them slip in 5 addresses. On one of those addresses, the beans aren't "mine", they are sprouting on behalf of a friend, and even that address complies with the expected monthly sprout!

So if you aren't getting the expected sprouts remember, that to reach the expected amount of sprouts for that month you have to have the wallet OPEN and in SYNC 24/7, and then there's the "luck" factor but from my experience, it won't differ that much from the base number that you get from the sproutingcalculator.com

Yes, I used that "farm" (how I call them) for almost a year. During that time it was staking vericoin and sprouting bitbean.

Recently I needed more from my farm and I've upgraded to an ASUS - BAREBONE Mini PC UN45 with 4gb DD3 and 100gb of storage. This solution will be more expensive around 100€ regarding the minix that I've mentioned, but it's a better solution if you're thinking of having more than 2 wallets on it.

By the way, my old farm is currently staking at my cousin's house, she is only using it for beancash and continues to work flawlessly Yesterday, my other cousin bought this minix and he's also going to start sprouting beancash... next week another cousin will start also! My closest family all have Beancash because on this christmas my gift was a family airdrop everyone got a bunch of BeanCash on paperwallets... some already are sprouting those beans, others will begin soon and my uncles are simply holding and waiting. Either way all of them now follow the beancash price and have been introduced to crypto / beancash

btcpop is using the wrong bitbean logo on their promo/website, and for me that shows lack of knowledge regarding the current present of bitbean... I don't know that service and I'll just say: Always be cautious to where you send you bitbeans!

even worse is their announced payout.... so 34289 bitb will sprout in 30 days 1371 Bitb but they will only pay to user 98 bitb ....

Above is my proposal for the upcoming rebrand of BitBean to Bean Cash (Bean Digital Cash) but first of all, a little briefing about what's above:

On the first row, the logo without a signature;
Second row, the logo with signature. Currently "...more than just a digital currency" but it's not definitive and may be changed later on;
Their row, an alternative logo to be used on special occasion mentioning "Bean Cash" ... just an idea, proposal, proof of concept.

The difference between the left and the right logos is simply the eyes and where they are looking. May look like a tiny think but affect the overall feeling of the character. On the left he's looking forward giving the feeling of movement and being dynamic; on the right, he's looking forward toward the viewer. And this is the first step to build trust, looking in the eyes and feeling an emotional connection to the character.

Personally, I'm more inclined to choose the version that he's looking forward and making that personal connection to the viewer.

Note: the only thing here to pick is one the eyes direction, the brand would have all 3 version to use as needed, sometimes the signature may not be required or the case of a very small logo it will no be legible, so we'll need the version without a signature. On other media that the signature can be used, that version should have priority to the version without a signature.

This is my proposal and I hope the community likes it also.

Part II - A little bit more history...

Some may know me from the early days of the takeover, many don't know me at all. Back in the day, I knew that a project had gone bad and part of the small community decided to step forward and help out any way they could in order to make a successful project takeover. I gave what I knew.... the new logo and with it the website, paper-wallets, all the team bean branding and a big bunch of other stuff. I with other initial members started the "core concept" in order to bring some kind of organization to the team and me along the others were the first core members.

I supported the project during that time, then I had personal problems in my life and I just went into a total blackout, not only in the BitBean project but in all the project I was working in, like VeriCoin and AudioCoin / BlockPool... I didn't even use my twitter account for more than a year...

Although I wasn't active, I never lost track on what was going on with Bitbean, I followed from time to time the bitcointalk thread to get the feeling of the community and I was happy to see that it started to grow to the size it is today.

Gladly I manage to put my life back on tracks and since a few months, I've been slowly reconnecting with that teams I've worked. And here I'm (again) on a new kind of start, or a re-start so to say...

As you can read on a few posts back, I announced the release of the "Bitbean Sprouting Calculator" and I reconnected with the community here at bitcointalk and on the official chat... meanwhile days went by...

"And why are you posting this now?" you may ask.

The answer is simple and I'll try to make it brief. A few hours ago I had a clash with the lead developer about the use or not of the 3D version of the "BeanMan" in the future rebrand. I presented to him all my arguments and things lead to the current poll we see above. I felt the responsibility to inform the community and put a little context on this issue, trying to explain what's going on. (*technical and design question may be addressed in further posts regarding why 3D bitmap should never be used in branding)

Currently, I was removed from the Bean Core due to my lack of having the required 1% Bitbean to be in the Bean Core. I had there since my return last week until today when we clashed and I was removed from the "Bean Core" private chat.

Although I'm not an Offical Core member ( I haven't paid 250 000bitb and I don't have 1% of the market) but that does not mean I have to shut up and follow along. I feel the responsibility towards the community and my goal is always lead this project to good port, and not "destroy the project" like bitbeaner said publicly today.

Thanks if you read all of this, mean you care about what's going on behind the scenes. If you have any question regarding the design issues, let me know. And if you haven't voted and you have decided, please cast your vote above by clicking on the small radio button on the left of the image you like.

PS: I'll be around and I won't be going anywhere this time!

is there a step-by-step on how to get the BPL to the wallet?

"Once you have your address please put it in your blockpool.io account, once we have that we will send out your Blockpool tokens."

I already have the wallet installed but I just cant figure it out how to "put it in your blockpool.io account" step... care to explain in detail, please?

I've just published on steemit the proposals I've made one year ago regarding the playing cards. The artworks, my proposal made at 17.08.2015:

Don't know if you're are still in need of a designer for this project, at the time Marketa said it wasn't technically viable due some blockchain details and the cards...

Either way, here's the link to the post:

MASSIVE preaching with Steemit's First ThunderClap Campaign [Now LIVE across Social Media]

Finally, the moment I've been waiting for 10 days. That moment when the Steemit's First Thunderclap Campaign goes live and hopefully a little bit viral!

LINK: https://steemit.com/steemit/@brunopro/massive-preaching-with-steemit-s-first-thunderclap-campaign-now-live-across-social-media

Hello Smooth,

I perfectly understand that people may not want to share their facebook for privacy issues (theirs, and their connections). Regarding the number, yes I know 500 supporters is BOLD and a big number, and you'll understand in the next post about thunderclap, it's part of the strategy and there's a failsafe plan if the 500 isn't meet, and probably I'm gonna use money from the upvotes to pay to have more control over the campaign (mainly the control of the time of the campaign), but that will be addressed in the next post about the campaign.

But people haven't understood that nor I or anyone else will have access to the list of friends. The campaign will release only a message that will be seen by your friend / connections.

Regarding being hostile. I'm not hostile and if you're talking about the comment on dollarvillant, I stand on what I said... that 3rd post as a money grab... ok the 1st post I full into in and great welcome, the 2nd post thanking the first one, was a classic move seen many time on steemit to drain a little more profit of the 1st wave. What I really found disturbing was the 3 post in 48h, not to add much more, but to write just some "things" and the drain continues. I'm not against him or anyone else, but look like people are against me because I speak what I think and what I feel (and I know I'm not the only one that has this opinion about what happen).


Finally smooth, I'm not troll, if you care to lose time, you'll be able to find information about me and who I'm and what I've done and the crypto-projects I've been engaged. I'm sorry If you're taking sides even without knowing me or even without having talked directly with me. Maybe if you do, you would understand me better, and maybe you would change your mind and become more supportive of what I'm doing and have done, and WILL do for steemit as a brand. Time will prove me right.

PS: Also regarding vigillante's comment... search about "Guerrilla marketing" and how sometime's one has to take a bullet for the team to reach higher goals. (at the moment I've taken more than 1 bullet and still standing).
