New Updates
Date: May 5th
BitClub Network continues to grow in many markets around the world and as our membership expands we are constantly improving our platform by adding new features, new security measures and more value for our members. Right now we have some many projects in our pipeline and we wanted to give you an update on some of them today.
Quick overview in this update.
US Market Officially Turned Off
Security Audit & Restructure
May 2nd Commissions Error
Smart Payment App
Lead Management System
New Marketing Campaign Tracker
Update on Record Breaking Block
United States Market Update.
As of May 1st we have pulled out of the United States market and overall the pull back went very smoothly. There were are few isolated cases but this transition went as expected and we are now fully blocking all new memberships in the US or US territories.
You will notice that if you try and access bitclubnetwork from a United States IP address it will redirect you to a special page with a message and login. If you had an account before May 1st, you can login and gain access while you remain logged in. Once you logout all access is again restricted.
We will be expanding this script to include all replicated pages, our pool website and we will begin blocking some other features and product offers as well. Now that this change is live you will begin to see a lot more information coming out about our future plans including products and services we will be launching in the future.
Security Audit & Restructure.
Our platform goes through constant security audits to ensure that all websites are optimal and there are no security holes for hackers to take advantage of.
As you may or may not know we deal with daily attacks to both our main website and pool servers so it's very important to take the time to properly structure and occasionally restructure our databases and processes to stay ahead of the game.
After our last audit we have decided to make some significant changes to our architecture and have already started it. We are not going to disclose exactly what we are doing but we wanted to mention this because it will be a big focus over the next month and you may see some down time as we make these upgrades.
You may also see some odd things as we upgrade the database but these are only display issues. This includes things like seeing your balances fluctuate, volume display off, and seeing old or cached versions of your account.
There is no way around making these upgrades, we have delayed it for as long as we could running our existing architecture but the fact is we have outgrown it.
Hopefully you don't even notice things but if you do see errors please understand this is due to these upgrades and they are only temporary things. If something major happens we will post an update about it.
May 2nd Commissions Error
On May 2nd our site reached full capacity and crashed. The actual downtime was minimal but it did have a big effect on paying commissions and calculating volume. Our CRONs were knocked off so they never ran to pay commissions. This includes Binary, Mining earnings, ETH pool, and more.
Luckily we were able to make some quick fixes before the next pay period hit so we only missed one day and everything is now running stable. We will be manually applying a credit for the May 2nd commissions within the next few days but just wanted to let you know that we are well aware of this so you do not need to open a support ticket about your account if it's from May 2nd.
Smart Payment App Updates
Part of the restructuring process mentioned above is to make room for the Beta version of the new invoicing system that will be launching into our platform first.
Right now our team is working on a full write up that will have details about this platform, including some screen shots and a demo that will give you a lot more information on how the Smart Payment App is going to work.
You can expect a big update on this project in our next news release next week!
New Lead Management System.
We have not forgotten about this project and just wanted to let you know we will be launching this in two parts right after the upgrades. This is a new comprehensive platform where you can track your enrollment team, export your leads, sort and view stats and really get a pulse of your team.
This first part to go live will be personal enrollments showing you all the people you have personally sponsored and providing detailed stats on each of them. This includes leads and members so you can search, sort and really see what is happening. You will see rank, total cycles and how active each member is and you can even export the lists based on certain criteria.
The second part will be the enrollment tree where you can drill down into many levels. This is being separated because we will not show you quite as much detail for anyone you have not personally enrolled but you will get a full sortable view of your team. Initially we will launch this with 4-5 levels of but this will be expanded after we have completed our restructure.
Basically we made this module live and ran some tests and it was so database intensive that leaders with large teams could potentially crash the system because we are already operating near full capacity. So we must wait until the new architecture is launched.
New Marketing Campaign Tracker LIVE.
We have been working on a very simple way for you to track all of the marketing you are doing to the replicated websites and have released the tracking module for the bitclub.network domain. Soon this will be expanded to all replicated websites but here is how this works.
1. Go under Resources and click on Marketing Tracker (or you can click here)
2. On this page you will find full instructions for setting up tracking links, but basically all you need to do is create a Tracker Name by entering a unique name that will be used in the URL to promote. Enter a short description so you know how the Tracker Name will be used (only you see this description).
Example: If you want to post your link to Facebook you would put Facebook in the description and then always use this link for your FB posts.
3. Add the Tracker Name to the end of your existing URL and begin promoting it! Example -- http://bitclub.network/mattjun/TRACKER_NAME
On this page it will track all the unique hits, opt-ins and upgrades. This data will also be available on the lead management platform so you can easily see where all of your leads/sign ups are coming from.
Update on Record Setting Block.
As it turns out the verification could not be completed on the request we received claiming from someone claiming to be the owner of the accidental transaction fee of 291 Bitcoin in a block that was mined by our pool.
We have decided to extend this another week allowing others to step forward and claim this before we begin giving it away in a very strategic manner.
We have a cool plan to give away all 291 Bitcoin and possibly even raise more in the process that will all be given away to charity and to the Bitcoin Core development team. We will be revealing this plan next Thursday if we are unable to locate the rightful owner by then.
That's all for now! We continue to work hard everyday on a wide arrange of projects and new features and we believe the next 90 days is really going to be exciting. It's very important that we updated our platform so we can continue to build and scale at the pace we are growing.
As always thank you so much for being part of BitClub Network!
Sincerely,
-BCN Support Team
