Fork Status: Resolved by NuBits v5.1 – Upgrade!

It is now safe to send NuBits and NuShares.


  • Don’t make any transactions until further notice! You may lose funds.
  • Exchanges Alcurex, Bittrex, and Cryptopia all have suspended their wallets.
  • We have some nodes running deprecated Nu clients. v2.0.3 at block 1164040. v2.0.1 and v2.1.0 at block 1164311. Please upgrade to the latest Nu wallet at https://www.nubits.com/download.

Update 06:39 UTC

The fork was probably triggered by a sudden drop in minting, because of a protection that assumes there won’t be more than 200% change in difficulty per day. This check is only done on orphan blocks, but we often receive orphan blocks initially and then download the rest. When this happens the node bans the peer that sent this block. I think we should remove this check that’s not really necessary.

here is a torrent file for bootstrapping the blockchain on the main fork

Here are some instructions:

You will need a Torrent client like uTorrent pre-installed to download the blockchain files.

Once you have completed and downloaded the two files for 100% please follow the following instructions:

  1. Start client and let it go for a minute or so to ensure your folder structure and the wallet has been created.
  2. Stop client
  3. Copy both files into the .nu folder (for Windows under %appdata)
  4. Start client again

It will now be synchronising only the last few days/weeks instead of the entire blockchain from scratch.
Please drop a line here if you get stuck somewhere in the process.

It would also be much appreciated if you would be able to seed it for a while so others can also enjoy a fast download.

macOS build published. Includes nud in NuBits.app/Contents/MacOS/.

how to get to know I am on the right chain?

Excellent question. I’m asking the team for a reliable way.

I’m at block height 1543482 along with our new block explorer. Not all nodes according to getpeerinfo appear to be there yet. It may just not update frequently. See what the following gives you, by running in debug window or with daemon.

getblock 666335bbae6660022c398bab9b52009ad1e7090ad41ba5da62bd5e8f1f4d17bc

It returns this for me:

I’m not sure whether you can have received that block and be able to view it without being on that chain, however.

i ll check on Mon. Tks.

It is now safe to send NuBits and NuShares.

Bittrex is back online. https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-NBT

why cryptopia is not online still?

Why it’s still showing??

Is there anyone to reply?

We’ve told Cryptopia to resume operations for NuBits and NuShares. Unfortunately, they have not done so yet.

You have to assure this because they are presenting a message from the USNBT TEAM that leaves a negative impact toward your users. I 'll never use Cryptopia Exchange again and withdraw my all funds from there I already tweeted there and this is for your intimation! User’s can’t be bound.

Hello. Now on bittrex price in your cryptocurrency 2$.
Is it true that the price of your currency after the fork will be different from $ 1 or not?

We peg US NuBits at $1.00, and that has not changed. Purchases of NuBits were made recently that consumed our large walls and more. A refill of sell-side liquidity took time, and Bittrex experienced a delay with deposits.

US NuBits will return to $1.00. Take the opportunity and sell high then buy from us for $1.00 later if you can. I understand the frustration of being locked in at Cryptopia.

Please contact the Cryptopia exchange to include their findings.

Useless Team

Being too aggressive in our communication with exchanges will not benefit anyone’s interests. We are speaking to Cryptopia.
