100% Mining Earnings, Capacity Update, and More...

Receive 100% Bitcoin Mining Earnings...

One of the biggest complaints we always receive is why a member cannot receive 100% of their mining earnings.

We decided to fix this! 

Now you can set your mining earnings to pay back 100% of your daily earnings for each mining pool. All you have to do is go to your Mining Stats page and you will now see the option under the drop down menu to select between 0% and 100% of your daily earnings.

Bitcoin Mining Capacity Update...

As you know from the previous updates we hit the limit for our capacity to purchase and deploy new Bitcoin mining machines. This caused us to scale back our sales and only offer what we could actually deploy in a timely manner.

Well now we have some good news on this... Today we were able to secure a large batch that will go live in January of next year. This will allow us to increase our sales capacity today by about 15% starting right now.

As it stands we have already paid for an additional 200 PH that will be coming online sometime in late November and pushing our pool over the 500 PH mark. Now with this new batch we will have another 100-200 PH that will start coming online in January. 

We will continue to work hard to increase our hardware capacity and will keep you posted as more batches become available. However, given our current demand you can expect to see more of the "Sold Out" messages as we work on securing more equipment. 

GPU Founder Pay-it-Forward is LIVE... 

We just added the $5,000 GPU Founder pool under the Pay it Forward tab, which you can find under your Bitcoin Wallet page. We have no issues scaling our GPU capacity and we are going to be moving a lot of our resources over to expanding here. 

By doing this it will make the GPU shares more profitable and we believe 2018 will be an incredible year for GPU minable coins. We highly suggest you begin shifting your focus to the GPU shares.

Our goal is to continue expanding as fast as we can and we appreciate your patience as keep up with the sales. 

Sincerely,
-BCN Support Team

Bitcoin Pool Update, GPU, and Support
Date: September 9th

Included in this update... 

• Bitcoin Mining Shares Update
• GPU Shares Open
• Support issues, fixes, and more

Bitcoin Mining Shares Update...

As we mentioned in the last update the demand for our mining pools simply grew faster than our ability to scale. So instead of taking on new sales and delaying the payouts we have decided to only sell what we can deploy in a timely manner. 

This was a very hard decision to cut off sales but we believe its the right thing to do in order to protect all the shares we have already sold and to be responsible. 

It's our hope this cap is only temporary, however based on the overall supply in the market we may be facing this from now until the end of the year. 

In order to make this fair for everyone we are going to be changing the sales to cap them every 1 hour instead of every 24 hours. This is to accommodate all members across different time zones. 

Starting Monday at 0:00 GMT we will go live and make a certain amount of shares available for the first hour. Then at 1:01 GMT we will go live again with more shares to offer up until 2:00 GMT. This will continue each hour moving forward. 

Example... If the sales only last for 5 minutes before sold out then you will need to wait until the next hour begins.

This will start on Monday because we need to make a few changes over the weekend to ensure the cap runs smoothly each hour rather than in a single 24 hour period. 

GPU Shares Available for Purchase...

We want to remind you that GPU shares are NOT capped and you can buy as many of these machines as you would like. Over the next few months we are going to be putting a heavy emphasis on GPU mining and you will see a lot of new and cool features supporting this. 

We strongly recommend if you are unable to buy Bitcoin shares that you jump into our GPU pool. 

Customer Support Issues, Fixes, etc...

As you may have noticed the past week or so the website has been going offline, the binary has been delayed on adding credits, skipping days, and overall the system has been overloaded. 

To be honest we never built our system and this database structure to handle the amount of daily sales volume, calculations, and overall traffic we are seeing now. It's grown extremely fast over the past few months especially and we are working very hard on moving everything to a HUGE platform that can handle this. 

However, this will take some time, we estimate about 3 weeks before the new servers are ready, secured, and moved over. In the mean time we are making big improvements to our scripts and monitoring everything 24/7 to keep things running smoothly. 

IMPORTANT... If you are having an issue please be patient! Do not open multiple tickets and understand that any delays in withdrawals, missed payments, or support questions you have will get handled! We are on a 72 hour+ response time and we will get to your issue as soon as possible. 

To fix this we are hiring more support people, more programmers, and getting more help to make sure we can handle all future growth. Thanks for your patience as we grow together through this challenge.

Sincerely,
-BCN Support

August Updates: 1

Bitcoin Fork Details... Withdrawals LIVE!
Date: August 8th

Included in this update... 

• Bitcoin Fork Details
• Bitcoin Cash Available
• Withdrawals Restored
• Dubai Trip Open to ALL Pro Builders
• BitClub Mines 3,000th Block

Bitcoin Fork Details...

Bitcoin has successfully forked and here is what you need to know..

1. There are now 2 Bitcoins.

Bitcoin (BTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) which is an exact copy of Bitcoin and functions in the same way. The addresses used to store the coins are even the same too so basically everyone who was holding Bitcoin before the fork will now automatically have the exact same amount of BCH. 

We believe having two Bitcoins is actually a good thing because each chain will begin to diverge from the other adding new technical upgrades in time that will grow and compete with each other. The potential of this coin is very exciting but it's still brand new and it will take some time to mature. 

2. Is BitClub mining Bitcoin Cash? 

Right now we are currently testing some power and helping to secure the new Bitcoin Cash blockchain. Our feeling is we really need to help secure the transactions and help by verifying blocks on behalf of all members who now have the coin. 

However, we are only pointing a very limited amount of power for testing and our plan is to continue to evaluate how this ecosystem will grow before committing resources to it. If everything is stable and goes to plan then we will support it and even consider running a full Bitcoin Cash mining pool.

Bitcoin Cash is great news for our members (and all miners). We basically all just got a lot of free money and if this continues to grow it gives us two coins to mine with our machines which can only help in providing the most profitable mining opportunities.

We recommend that you withdrawal your Bitcoin Cash from your BitClub wallet as soon as it's available so that you can have full control over it in a BCH wallet. Thanks for your patience as we continue to explore and learn more about this new token.

Bitcoin Cash is Now Available... 
On August 1st right before the fork happened we froze all Bitcoin wallet balances and took a snap shot of how much each account had. You will now see this balance has been matched with the exact same amount of Bitcoin Cash. 

To be clear if you had 12.57 Bitcoin when the fork happened you will now have 12.57 Bitcoin + 12.57 Bitcoin Cash that you can withdrawal from your account. 

You can now view this under Bitcoin Cash Wallet

*NOTE: You will not be able to withdrawal your Bitcoin Cash yet, but you can just see your available balance. We expect the withdrawals to be live later this week as we are building the withdrawal functionality and waiting for the chain to become more stable.

Bitcoin Withdrawals LIVE... 

Bitcoin is now available for withdrawal and you can request your Bitcoin just like you did prior to the fork. 

We want to thank you for being patient while we split the coins and made both of them available again.

Dubai Trip Now Open to Pro Builders

Book Your Trip - Click Here 

BitClub Mines 3,000th Block!

We hit a big milestone today by surpassing 3,000 total blocks mined. When we first started mining back in 2014 the block reward was 25 per block and we learned a lot as we set out to create a massive mining operation. Now 3 years later and we did it! 

Overall the combined total of all Bitcoin mined and paid out to BitClub members is over 55,370 Bitcoin, which today is worth almost $190 Million USD. 

It's truly incredible to watch this opportunity change people's lives and the stories we get from you is what keeps us going strong. We believe this company is just now hitting it's stride and over the course of the next 6, 12, and 18 months we are going to witness a global explosion in the crypto currency space.

Heres' to the next 3.000 Blocks!! 

We can't thank you enough for your support and promise to continue to do the right things to make this membership strong!

Sincerely,
-BCN Support Team

Important Downtime, New Rank, Dubai Trip, and More!
Date: July 24th

Included in this update... 

• Bitcoin Scaling - Downtime VERY IMPORTANT!
• Bitcoin Mining Upgrades
• Dubai Leadership Trip - Book Now!
• New Platform open to All Members
• Mobile App Download
• New Rank Mega Monster
• GPU Shares Display Issue
• ETC earnings paid to up to date

Bitcoin Scaling - PLEASE READ and SHARE!

As you probably know from all the news Segwit2x was activated with consensus from the majority of miners (include us). The first step is done and we are in the middle of an activation period as the network prepares to upgrade. 

But there is something happening on August 1st that may have a big impact on the network. It's called BIP 148 UASF and it's a controversial way for non miners to try and gain power in Bitcoin. 

Right now the miners have all the power to decide which transactions are good and what new changes to support. This proposal would try and force the activation of Segwit through non mining nodes that anyone can download and run. 

The idea is all nodes running BIP 148 would begin rejecting blocks from miners who do not support Segwit. This could result in a chain split and potentially two or more version of Bitcoin. Or it could be a very boring event as everyone falls in line and supports a single chain.

Here is what you need to know and prepare for... 

#1. MOST IMPORTANT... We will be cutting off ALL withdrawals starting mid day on July 31st and we will resume only when it's safe to send them again. We are also shutting down the entire invoicing system so no new invoices can be generated and paid during this time. 

We expect the invoices to be down for about 2-3 days so please prepare for this and do not try and sign up any new members during this time. In fact, we think this is a perfect time to take a holiday somewhere and relax until this blows over. You may even see our website down as we will use the time to make some upgrades.

#2. Make sure you have your private keys backed up. You want to move all Bitcoin out of any exchange wallets that you don't have complete control over. Some of the best solutions are Ledger Hardware wallets, a Trezor hardware wallet, a paper wallet, or even blockchain.info wallet is a good choice. (Do not keep your Bitcoin in Coinbase, or any web wallet that holds your private keys) 

#3. Do not send Bitcoin or try and receive Bitcoin on August 1st until everything has been sorted and it's safe to resume transactions. You don't want to be stuck sending Bitcoin on the wrong chain or while the transition process is happening because you could lose them. 

#4. All Bitcoin inside BitClub Wallets are safe! We keep everything in cold storage and only transfer Bitcoin into hot wallets periodically to pay commission requests. So any balance shown in your back office will be safe and we can handle whatever scenario arises from this event. So you are welcome to keep your Bitcoin where it is.

Bitcoin Mining Pool Upgrades

We made some big improvements to our mining pool this past week so that we can be ready for the next wave of expansion. You may have noticed a lot of up and down spikes the past 3 weeks or so, but this has now been fixed with some new pool servers and some top notch block detection software that is helping to stabilize our power. 

We still have 50 PH coming online between now and middle of August, and another 50-75 PH projected growth each month starting in September. 

The mining earnings have really declined on a per share basis the past 90 days because of our rapid growth and bottleneck in adding this new equipment, but now you should see nice bump in the mining earnings as we push toward being 5% of the total Bitcoin network.

Dubai Leadership Event - BOOK NOW

The dates for the Dubai leadership trip have been locked down and the trip is LIVE to purchase. If you are a Pro Builder rank or higher then you are invited to join us. 

We believe this trip will sell out quickly so first we are only offering it to Monster Builders and Master Builders, you will have about 5 days to lock in your spot. After this we will open it to all Pro Builders. If you are not at the rank of Pro Builder or higher then you are not eligible for this trip. 

Leaders Reimbursement...

- All Monster Builders will have the trip fully paid except for your air fare.
- Master Builders will receive $800 credit toward travel expenses.
- Pro Builders will receive $600 credit toward travel expenses. 

*All credits for travel will be reimbursed after the trip is complete. So you must pay for all of your own expenses up front then we will provide reimbursement.

New Member Back Office

The new members back office is now live for all ranks. All you have to do is click on the login page and then login to the new section. In the next month or so the old back office will be phased out so we recommend you jump over and start using it. 

We also have a brand new site on mobile devices as well as an Android App that you can download here. 

Android App is LIVE - Download Here

The Android app is now live on the app store for everyone at all ranks to use. There are many "BitClub" apps on the play store so make sure you download the official one and watch out for any phishing attempts by apps that are designed to steal your info. Very important to have 2 factor enabled on your account in case it's compromised. 

If you are accessing the mobile website on an android we recommend you download the app for a much better and faster user experience. 

We will also have an Apple app for download sometime in the next few months. For this to be approved we cannot allow purchases through the app so we are working on taking out all possible ways to sign up and pay invoices. This app will be for managing your account, where as the Android app is full service. 

New Rank of Mega Monster 

We have a surprise for all the top leaders in the company.. We are bumping the top rank up to Mega Monster!! 

At Mega Monster you will earn up to 12 cycles per day, you will also receive a 10 level matching bonus and an incredible gift when you become a Mega Monster. 

To earn the rank of Mega Monster you will need 3 Monster Builders in 3 separate legs and a total of 10 million in enrollment tree volume. To learn more visit the compensation plan details and you will see an updated version with Mega Monster Builder info. 

GPU shares 2,000 day display error

We recently just updated all the shares for our GPU mining pool to pay out for a total of 2,000 days. This will include 2,000 days of mining! Right now our system is calculating this based on the date of purchase so in some cases this can be 30-45 days before the pool started to pay and we realize this error. 

Please be patient!! 

We are working on many new things to help improve the platform and we will fix this in the next few weeks. But this is NOT a priority right now because 2,000 days is a long time away and you are not going to miss out on anything. Please give us a few weeks to make theses changes, w are aware of this issue and it will be corrected! 

ETC Earnings Paid

The Ethereum Classic mining earnings from July 1st-7th have been compensated to all accounts mining during this time. ETC shares are back to paying normally and we will continue to monitor all mining operations in the future to catch and correct errors like this one. Thanks for your patience while we made these payments. 

Overall, we are growing at an incredible rate the past few months and we continue to hire and train more people to help manage our growth. We have also been expanding our mining operations in Iceland and all over the world to find the most efficient facilities to expand in.

We are all sitting in a great position to cash in on Bitcoin and other Digital Assets. Our next phase is to continue expanding our GPU mining operations while focusing on getting ClubCoin into the CoinPay Smart Payment platform and we couldn't be more excited about how everything is going.

Please share this update with your team and remember to pay attention to the August 1 deadline so you can stay informed and protect your Bitcoin.

Sincerely,
-BCN Support

Bitclub Network July Updates

July Updates: 1

BITCLUB NEWS

Big Updates, New Package, and More!
Date: July 1st

Included in this update... 

• Invoicing System Issues Fixed!
• All Bitcoin Pool Shares 30 Day Delay
• Big Announcement - NEW GPU Founder Pack
• All GPU Shares Paying Today!
• DASH No Longer Available
• Iceland Leadership Event Recap
• NEW Dubai Event Details

Invoicing System Issues - Fixed!

Over the past few days our system has been extremely backed up verifying new transactions. This was due to an overloaded block explorer. We have fixed the issue and have made some upgrades to handle the increased volume so now everything is caught up and back to normal. 

There were no transactions missed during this time they were just pending until the load was resolved.

Right now there are two issues happening at the same time that could cause some future delays. First, the Bitcoin network itself is overloaded and it can be very slow at times causing invoices to take a long time. Second, is our own growth rate and the size of our database to keep up with demand. We are basically at full capacity with the amount of invoices we can generate per second, per minute, per day, etc..

We continue to make improvements and optimize our systems but we just wanted you to be aware that from time to time we could see increased periods of pending invoices, or in some cases invoices that are generated without Bitcoin addresses at all. This means the server is too busy and you should wait a few minutes and try again. 

During these times please be patient and know that we are aware of the issue and working to fix it. But with the current state of the network itself you just have to assume there will be some delays (like rush hour traffic). Thanks for understanding! 

All Bitcoin Pool Shares on 30 Day Delay...

As we mentioned in the previous update we are now moving all shares to begin paying after 30 days of purchase instead of 10 days. We have to do this because it takes time to order this many machines get them installed and get them hashing to pay out. 

The 30 day rule is now active for all new shares purchased on or after July 1st, and you will see this reflected in the countdown showing 1,030 days instead of 1,010 days. You will still earn for the same 1,000 days though. 

BIG Announcement - NEW GPU Founder Packs!

In Iceland we made a big announcement about our new GPU Founder Pack! 

We are very excited about the future of GPU mining because not only is it profitable, but with the flexibility of how many different coins we can mine it's a great opporutnity and we are able to secure GPU's from many different sources. We believe now is the time to expand and create nice residuals in GPU minable coins for years to come.

Moving forward we now have two options to chose from... 

Option 1: GPU Pool for $1,000 USD that will be exactly the same as all shares that we have sold in the past. You will receive 1 share and it will have 6 credits and pay through the level up. 

Option 2: GPU Founder Pack that will include 5 shares of the GPU mining pool for $5,000 USD. This package will automatically make you a Founder and allow you to earn on all pools. So you can now purchase the $99 membership and then purchase this new package and you will be eligible for commissions in all Bitcoin mining pools.

With this option you will have 5 shares that you can decide which coins to mine at anytime. You have full control over this power! 

GPU Shares Begin Paying Today...

All shares that were sold in the last few batches will go live and begin paying today! 

Moving forward all GPU shares will be on a 30 day delay from the time you purchase them (just like Bitcoin shares). So if you purchase today (July 1st) then you will begin earning your first commission 30 days from now and you will earn for a full 2,000 days. 

If you purchased a GPU pool in the past your account has been reflected to earn for 2,000 days minus however many days you have already been earning. This change was also announced in the previous update and will take place immediately by showing under the GPU shares page.

DASH is No Longer Available...

We have decided to stop mining DASH and it has now been removed from the list. If you were mining DASH then your share has automatically been switched over to ETH starting today and you will begin earning ETH unless you change to another coin. 

We will continue to support the DASH wallet and it's our hope that in the future we can bring back DASH because we do believe in the future of this coin. But right now we suggest you move all coins out of your DASH wallet ASAP! 

Iceland Leadership Event... 

A few weeks ago some of the top BitClub Network leaders met in Iceland together to take a tour of the Bitcoin mining facility. Over 200 people showed up and visited the facility and afterward everyone went to the Blue Lagoon for some lunch and a dip in the hot springs.

It was an amazing experience and we want to thank everyone who helped make it so great!

We even had some older Bitcoin mining machines (S5 Antminers) that were given away as souvenirs to anyone who wanted to take one back. We heard some of you had trouble getting through airport security with them but overall it was a huge success! 

At the data center there were some strict rules about taking pictures so there was only one approved photographer who was allowed inside and he took some pictures of everyone there. These pictures are now available on the website below for you to download and share as you wish.

Here is a link to these photo... Iceland Photos - Click Here

NEW Dubai Leadership Event in October! 

We are excited to announce that our next leadership event will be held in Dubai!

We've been trying to put this trip together for over a year but things kept coming up and getting in the way. Now we finally have the dates booked and full details for what we plan to do there in October. 

This is going to be a once in a lifetime type of opportunity (just like Iceland was). We invite leaders from all over the world to join us here for some exclusive news, training, updates and future plans, but most importantly to have fun and get to know you better. This is much more of a reward trip than a working trip! 

We have to limit this event to 350 people and you MUST be a Pro Builder or higher rank in order to be invited (no exceptions). You will have up until the end of September to qualify as a Pro Builder and included in this trip. However, we are only allowing 350 people and then it will close so the event might be sold out by then.

We want to help you get there... 

If you are a Monster Builder then your trip will be fully paid for (except for airfare). This will include 4 nights stay and all accommodations. This will also include all excursions, tours, and meetings that we set up for the group. Basically all you have to do is get yourself there and we will take care of the rest! 

If you are a Master Builder then we will pay for about 80% of your accommodations, and if you are Pro Builder we will pay for about 60% of your accommodations. The exact details will be provided over the next few weeks with a link to a website where you see more details and the exact dates in October. 

This trip will be all about rewarding you in style and we can't wait to see you there! 

As always thank you for being part of BitClub Network we have some great news coming out this month as well so stay tuned!

Sincerely,
-BCN Support
