Thanks to marsmensch for creating the original script.

Bump.  Please see the latest post edit and OP.

On October 12th, 2019, Masternode functionality and versionbits signalling for Assets will become active on the BLAST network at block height 1710000

Please make sure to backup and update your BLAST wallet to v2.2.0 ASAP

--------------------------------------

EDIT:  Needed to edit the link for a critical fix regarding on-chain assets.  Please use v2.2.0 instead.  We still see connections from 1.3 on the explorer so please update.

If you've already updated to v2.1, then no reindex will be required for v2.2

Also please remember that these wallets sync headers first, so if you think you're stuck on block 0 despite having connections to other nodes, check "getblockchaininfo" and see if the header count is increasing.

The BLAST that Vindax is hosting I think is an ERC-20 ETH token.  They only have a BLAST/ETH market.

Can anyone with a Vindax account see if the deposit address starts with a B or is it an ETH address?

Yes it is still being developed.

As for updates please check the first post.  There is a new BLAST wallet v2.1.0 that everyone should upgrade to ASAP.
https://github.com/blastdev/blast-core-v2/releases/tag/v2.1.0

The update should go smoothly, you will need to reindex the chain.

You'll notice the wallet looks very different.  We'll discuss those changes soon.  Thanks.

Hey folks don't forget to Update to the latest BLAST wallet 1.3.0.0 !!

Hi Glen,

There is a first-person mode but at the time VR is not a focus.  It could be in the future though.

As promised here are some first ever in-game screenshots of cryptoBLAST.  A medium article will be posted soon explaining what is going on.

In-game screenshots for cryptoBLAST will be unveiled on October 1st at 12:00am CDT UCT -5

Hello I apologize for the late reply.  I think Antfarm might be shutting down.  I would advise everyone to switch to a different pool while I inquire further.

If there has been any problem with payouts please mention them and we'll help get that sorted out with the antfarm owner.


EDIT:  Antfarm is helping run tests and I wasn't aware they shut down the mainnet to do it.  (This is the game dev speaking who is managing this btctalk thread now.)

My apologies for not mentioning this sooner.  Antpoolbtc is only displaying testnet for BLAST at this time.  Please use a different pool.

This site will serve as the landing page for BLAST coin information going forward.  A new page for the cryptoBLAST game is coming soon.
