Wäre froh, wenn ich Antwort hätte, bis morgen Dienstag. Um 00.00 beginnt der Counter zu laufen und
rechne damit, dass die Shares schnell ausverkauft sein werden.

Ethereum Pool, Special Leaders Meeting
Date: June 21st

Ethereum Pool.

This week has been very interesting with Ethereum and the DAO. If you haven't heard there was a hack on the DAO platform that exposed a bug allowing hackers to steal around $60 million worth of Ether.

The DAO runs on top of the Ethereum platform and while Ethereum was not affected, just the DAO was breached it brought the entire Ethereum community together to figure out a solution on the best action to take on fixing it.

There were many proposals made before an attempt to "re-hack" the hackers was successful in recovering the funds. This has caused a very wild week in the crypto community and extreme volatility in the Bitcoin, Ether, DAO, and even ClubCoin prices.

We are in a very cool time right now. Blockchain technology is brand new and it has the power to re-shape the world in many different ways. Bugs are being exposed, then fixed and the progression in this industry is fun to watch and even more fun to be apart of!

Regardless of what happens next, this event will have a huge impact on the Ethereum network and the future of digital smart contracts. It may even define them entirely!

As for BitClub Network we are all in! We are taking the opportunity to load up on new Ethereum mining equipment and are very bullish on the future of this industry.

So today we have opened up 1,200 more shares of the Ethereum mining pool and we are allowing ANYONE to buy shares until its sold out. It does not matter if you already purchased a share or what rank and qualification you are at.

You can buy multiple shares and own many machines that you own and can request shipment if you want to mine them on your own!

Click Here to purchase your share

DISCLAIMER: This is risky! Ethereum could end up failing and you could lose your entire investment, so please be aware of this and purchase any shares at your own risk.

Special Leaders ONLY Meeting.

BitClub has been working on something very big and we are excited to share details about it! But first, we are holding a special leaders only meeting in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia so that we can show the top leaders if BitClub first and be ready to launch.

Stay tuned for more updates as we enter the last week of June.

Sincerely,
-BCN Support

Big Update. Lots of Info!
Date: July 8th

Included in this update.
Bitcoin Mining Pool Updates
Bitcoin Halving Thoughts.
CoinPay Updates
Lost Commissions Now Paid!
Korean Market on Fire - New Support
New Mobile Apps with added Security
New Languages LIVE (Turkish, Swahili)

We have a big update today regarding many things that are happening with BitClub Network. July is setting up to be a really big month in terms of membership numbers and productivity by our team.

Over the past few months the development side has been moving slower than we expected, this is due to the time it takes to keep hackers at bay and ensure we can protect the system we are building. Unfortunately, we are a huge target for attacks and this is only increasing as we get bigger.

For this reason it's very important that you secure your account!

You can do this by creating a strong password and enabling 2 factor under My Profile. Also, make sure you get your email address verified so you can receive emails from us and be fully verified in our system.

We have thwarted many hack attempts on accounts that are verified and we look closely into withdrawals based on IP's, previously used BTC addresses and more, but please DO NOT count on us to identify this, keep yourself protected and your account secure!

Now for some updates.

Bitcoin Mining Pool

We know the mining pool earnings have been a little low over the past 30 days or so. This is due to many factors that include an increase in the total shares of the pool, rising difficulty to mine, and other market conditions including mining equipment turnover.

As we have always said, buying mining equipment is not just about purchasing hardware and plugging it in. It's about knowing the timing of the market and how to turnover the older models for the newer ones. It's about taking advantage of wholesale pricing and purchasing in bulk, and most importantly it's about securing the newest technology to be the most efficient.

With that said, we are getting ready to boost the pool in a big way. We have 10 PH coming online from Bitmain, they just came out with their new 16nm chips in their newest S9 Antiminer rigs. These machines are now the most efficient on the planet and we have secured a large chunk of the first batch!

With the halving coming up it was very important that we got rid of some of our older models. This included all remaining S5 Antminers and even a portion of our S7 Antminers are being turned over so that we can focus on the S9 expansion.

We believe the S9 is at the peak of the market. The efficiency will not get much better from here and these machines are built to mine for life, so you will see many updates as we expand aggressively with this model and plan to hash with them forever.

Also, we have another 14 PH coming online from BitFury that will begin starting next week July 13th and will come in batches from there until Aug 24th.

This is 24 PH in addition to the 48 PH we currently have in our pool. We already have scheduled purchases during the next few months that will come online near the end of Aug or early September. Our goal is to be at 80 PH by September and fully running on 16nm technology exclusively!

Our pool is about to get a big profit boost too because each new PH we are adding cost a lot less than the ones we are taking offline.

Just to give you a quick sample of this. We pay about $21,000/month for 1 PH of the S5's and the S9 model 1 PH is about $6,800/month. This profit is passed to the pool!

The "Halving" is only 1 day away. Our Thoughts!

You are probably well aware of the upcoming halving that is about to happen after the next 140 blocks. If you are not familiar with this, all you need to know is the reward for miners will drop from 25 Bitcoin to 12.5 Bitcoin.

We believe this is going to put a lot of miners out business within a very short time. Anyone running older models will have to unplug or run at a loss and we will likely see huge volatility in the bitcoin price and the difficulty as the market adjusts.

For mining operations that are focusing on efficiency and long term profits like ours it could be great news in the long-run and allow us to be even more profitable. In the short term we believe the market will be wild and crazy and we are buckling up for the ride.

It's like that the market will over react to just about everything as it happens and miners will constantly be going online and offline watching as the next difficulty numbers become available.

Keep in mind this already happened before. When Bitcoin was cut in half from 50 Bitcoin down to 25 Bitcoin the market was very volatile for about 3 months after as people tried to figure it out.

We believe this will happen again but since the market is much larger the volatility could be less and when the dust finally settles after a few months the price will be higher, the mining more efficient and the network better off!

NOTE: This is just an opinion of ours and nobody knows what will happen, our strategy is to expand the pool and get more efficient so at the end of the day our mining contracts will pay back more Bitcoin than they cost and each member will be better off by participating in our mining pools. We will keep you posted with market news and what you can expect.

This all starts in about 24 hours and is a very big deal in the market so make sure you pay attention!

CoinPay Updates

We are getting very close to having a Beta version of the CoinPay platform and will be rolling it out in steps when it's ready. The scope of this project has really evolved since we started building it with the CoinPay development team.

Here is an overview of where we are.

Finished:
- Payment Detection System (BTC and ClubCoin)
- Downloadable merchant wallet (BTC)
- Core API platform (to allow multiple front end platforms such as: Web, mobile, Android, iOS)
- Secure multi-platform User Authentication system

In Testing Phase:
- Online web wallet (multi-sig user wallet)
- Downloadable Merchant wallet (ClubCoin)
- Blockchain fraud tracking system - instant payment received notification (notification to external APIs or Services)

In Development Phase:
- Web front end
- Mobile front end
- Android & iOS front end
- Client API for full management (client/product/invoice management)
- API data response system

This is just a basic overview of the main features, most of the development still going on is on the front end, this is always the last piece done and will likely continue to be perfected as we launch the first Beta and get to market.

One of the biggest challenges we have faced in building this platform is to set it up without ever touching or holding any customer funds. This allows us to operate as a software platform and not a merchant platform needing any types of licenses.

We are basically building a smart set of API's all bundled together to give merchants full control over how they accept Bitcoin and ClubCoin payments.

Time Frame.

Our goal is to have a limited Alpha version ready to launch this month! This will be invite only to a small group of leaders/members to use the platform and look for any bugs. Then we will launch the limited Beta to all Founders who can begin using it and testing it around the first week of August.

After this we should be ready to go live with the first Open Beta in mid to late August.

We are close! We work hard on this everyday and we are just as anxious as you are to get this launched to the market so we can begin using it.

You will receive more details as each milestone is reached and we will let you know all the details of how you can really cash in on promoting this platform when it's time.

Lost Commissions Paid

We had a few days with some hiccups. This was either due to the website being offline, scripts timing out or just general errors that were never fixed properly. We have built a commission checker and believe we have fixed about 95% of all errors.

This commission checker is a script that goes through each invoice to track where and how it was paid out. When it finds an error it fixes it and you will see this show up in your commission records with a date that is out of order.

*For instance on May 2nd we had a malfunction in the binary that never cycled for the day, it pushed everything over an extra day.

We ran this script to find lost cycles and it found hundreds of them, they were paid on the day we ran the script but the date showed the original May 2nd date. You can expect to see adjustments like this from time to time as we run this script.

This tool may also work against you too, if you were double paid a commission or if a move happened in your team that was never fixed this new tool will fix it and claw back commissions that you did not earn.

All commissions are now 100% up to date, if you have any questions about missing commissions please open a support ticket

Korean Market on Fire. New Support

We have seen explosive growth happening in South Korea, there are some truly incredible leaders in that region doing amazing events and supporting BitClub Network to the fullest and we want to say Thank You!

We are now dedicating exclusive resources to the Korean market that will include hiring a dedicated support person and adding the Korean language to our ticketing system so that your questions can be asked in Korean and answered quickly through our platform.

There are many features we can add as we grow with you and expand our support to ensure that all questions and issues are handled quickly. If you are in the Korean market and you have been waiting on an outstanding issue please be patient as we implement this new strategy.

We are working hard to expand support for you!

New Mobile Apps - Increased Security

We have been working on two new mobile apps that will allow you to access BitClub Network directly through native iOS and Android. This app will be constantly evolving to the point where it will become the platform you use most.

The first version of this app is almost ready. It will include a login to your back office where you can manage your profile, request commissions, pay invoices, and enroll new members easily.

It will also serve as a two factor authentication for when you sign in on the web. You can set up a secure PIN on this device too and use it for withdrawals and any profile changes.

In later versions we will be adding messaging directly into the app so you can stay connected with news and updates, we will also be adding a full mobile wallet for both ClubCoin and Bitcoin so that you can use the app to easily pay through the CoinPay platform or any other Bitcoin merchant platform.

In short, this app will be the future of BitClub Network and we are close to releasing the first version

Here is a quick little teaser of the app.




New Languages Going LIVE!

We have translated the website and videos into two new languages. Turkish and Swahili.

Both of these languages will be live within the next 24 hours and you can already see the videos have been posted to Youtube for them. We are excited to continue expanding worldwide and as we grow in new markets we will continue to support you and translate the website.

We are so excited about the future of BitClub Network. Our leaders continue to impress and inspire us everyday and we are thankful to have the opportunity to build this global platform for everyone.

We are growing faster each month and supporting this growth is our top priority. We believe this network is special and can have a huge impact on Bitcoin as it becomes mainstream.

Thank you for your support and dedication!

Sincerely,
-BCN Support Team

End of July Update.
Date: July 29th

Included in this update.
Bitcoin Mining Pool
Ethereum Hard Fork - Important Details!
Replicated Websites (a few issues)
Leadership Event Recap - Credits being issued
Mobile Website/Apps Update

BitClub Network continues to expand rapidly around the world and to keep up with this growth we've been hiring more programmers, more support team members and finding more strategic partners than ever before.

Believe it or not BitClub is almost 2 years old, which in the Bitcoin world is like 10 years old because of how fast the industry grows and changes. But even though we are approaching this 2 year milestone we feel like we are just getting started.

In fact, we have some big plans on the horizon and with so many new products and services getting ready to hit the market our plan is to continue to create incredible value for you as a member and help you cash-in so that you cash-in on digital currencies.

Ok, now for a few updates.

Bitcoin Mining Pool

Our mining pool daily payout has been very low lately, and in fact the next 10 day stretch you will see will be the lowest per share total that we have ever paid. This is due to a few factors but the key to understand is this is temporarily low and we see the mining earnings going up over the next few months as we transition into this new consolidated market.

Factor 1: We have been unlucky.

Ever since the halving occurred we have been very unlucky in hitting blocks. You can see this by going to our pool website and tracking the last 5 blocks, 10 blocks, 50 blocks, etc. It's just simply bad luck and it happens all the time.

Over the long run our mining will average out to be 100% of our power. But sometimes in the short term we can be very lucky and also very unlucky. Right now we are just in one of those unlucky stretches that we have to deal with

Factor 2: Power Transition. As we mentioned in a previous update we are turning over some older equipment and we just made a large purchase by securing the newest S9 Antminers, as well as BitFury's newest containers, which both utilize 16nm chip technology.

All of this new power takes time to set up and over the past week we have been adding 1 PH and taking 1 PH of the older gear away as we receive the shipments to our Iceland facility. Right now our pool is showing about 49 PH but we have paid for 68 PH and we expect to have all of this power in full running by Aug 13th.

We will also be making another large purchase around this time (mid August) and will continue to expand with the most efficient machines. Our goal is to be at or above 100 PH by the end of the year

Factor 3: Halving and Difficulty. Ever since the halving dropped the mining reward from 25 BTC to 12.5 BTC we have not seen any big adjustments in the difficulty or the price. Which means everyone is earning a lot less and some are okay mining at a loss!

This won't last and we think it's about to change. We will likely see the difficulty drop this next period as miners are starting to unplug older machines and we hope to see a big uptick in price from now until the end of the year in Bitcoin price. Both of these would increase profitability per share greatly!

Please be patient with your mining earnings they will constantly go up and down and right now they are down. We do not pay out "theoretical" mining earnings like some other cloud hashing companies (most of whom are out of business), we only pay whatever we are actually mining so this will include ups and downs as we grow.

Ethereum Hard fork - Important Information

*If you purchased a share in our Ethereum mining pool please read this carefully*

Ethereum has been split into two chains. ETH and ETC. ETH is the new chain that was forked, this is the chain BitClub Network is supporting and it's the chain all Ethereum developers are supporting as well.

ETC is being called Ethereum Classic. This is the blockchain of the original Ethereum (where the hacker has control of all the DAO funds) and it's being continued by some developers who did not agree with the hard fork. Unfortunately, it has gained a lot more traction than anybody thought it would and the main reason is because exchanges started supporting it by matching the balance of ETC to ETH that was held in any account.

In other words if you were holding Ethereum before the fork on an exchange and you had say 50 ETH in your wallet, you would now have 50 ETH and 50 ETC. This move basically gave everyone free money and its created a bit of a frenzy and controversy with the two sides battling over which chain is the "real chain"

We believe ETC is very bad for the future of Ethereum and having two chains is only doing harm. The longer the community allows it to continue the worse off we are going to be. It's our hope that ETC will die soon and we can move forward building the future of Ethereum on 1 chain. (which has massive potential).

VERY IMPORTANT. Here is the key part for you!

Since we are only supporting ETH moving forward and we have converted our nodes over to the new chain, this means YOU MUST also be on the new chain to receive your ETH commissions. At this time we have stopped all withdrawals because we believe many people may not understand what this means and we could end up sending your Ether on the older chain, in which case you would lose it (unless you jumped back on the old chain to collect it).

So in order to avoid confusion we are going to be doing the following.

First, we are going to hold all ETH withdrawal requests for about a week or so as we watch and see how this market plays out. Don't worry your ETH is safe and we continue to mine it daily so your balance will grow in your BTC wallet you just won't be able to withdraw it for about a week.

Second. If you do have a wallet you are running like MIST or any other wallet where you control the node then YOU MUST move to the new chain. There are full instructions available on most wallets and if you are not sure we recommend you move them to an exchange and re-install a new instance on your computer.

If you are using an existing exchange account then you don't have to do anything. (Bittrex, Bitfinex, Poloniex, etc). All of these have been updated automatically and you can receive ETH just fine.

We ask that you please be patient on this, we will be cancelling a lot of the existing withdrawal requests from the last week, which means your Ether will be put back into your BitClub virtual wallet for you to withdrawal again to an address that is on the new ETH chain.

More details will be provided next week as we figure out the best way to ensure no ETH is lost because of this hard fork.

Replicated Websites - Some issues

You may have noticed the replicated websites being offline for hours at a time or not responsive at all depending on where you live these last few weeks.

Just to clarify we are talking about the websites you use to promote - (bitclub.network, bitclub.io, bitclub.bz, and also coinpay.co)

We have been experiencing a lot of traffic to these domains (mainly bad traffic) that is causing the server to crash or be unresponsive for hours at a time. These domains are on completely different servers and they are not equipped to handle DDOS or other attacks like our main server and pool servers are.

Up to this point we did not have any issues with the set up but now with the amount of downtime we are going to be moving all of these domains to better servers that can give us 100% uptime (or close to it).

We apologize for the inconvenience this causes when you are promoting your URL's and we plan to have this fixed very soon!

Leadership Event - Recap

We had a great leadership meeting in KL Malaysia. If you attended this event you got a sneak peek behind the curtain at the next phase of BitClub Network and you saw a new product that we very excited about.

We believe this product and opportunity could be even bigger than our mining pools, and maybe even be bigger than ClubCoin and the CoinPay payment app too! You will receive full details about this very soon, right now we are in the process of putting together all the marketing materials and videos that will help explain it.

If you attended the event and we marked your name down then you will receive your credit in the next few days. Just look for the admin credit in your BitClub Wallet.

Thanks to all the leaders who attended and made this event one to remember, we plan to do more of these in the future and will let you know when and where the next one will be.

Mobile Website, Mobile Apps

We are getting closer on launching our mobile first website and our two mobile apps. We have a dedicated team working on this project and we hope to launch our first app for Android in the coming weeks.

Here is another teaser with a few more screen shots.



We hope the next update will include a live version of this app so you can download it and begin using.

Thanks for being a member of BitClub Network!

Sincerely,
-BCN Support Team
