Poloniex has had Coin(O) delisted for months now. I am going to get us put back on the voting list or relisted altogether if possible. Thankyou for your continued knowledge of Coin(O) XZed. I will do what I can to affect changes. Coin(O) is in more places than I know of, but with our continued efforts things will all get on the right page.

I have already contacted coinwarz and am contacting coinmarketcap right now.

...The Coin(O) Ticker for all exchanges needs to be changed to "CNO"...

I caught up with Steve (smcardle) recently... so I can share an update to his condition:

After his car accident things looked fairly good.  However, he sustained a fractured skull and over time the fracture became infected.  The infection was fairly serious and he has been hospitalized for some time.  However, he is getting better and currently doing physio, etc. 

Overall, his doctors say it will be four to six weeks before he can return to work.  He does intend to return to Coino once he is able.

Close coino
Download wallet from coinocoin.com
Copy wallet.dat file somewhere.
Then delete all the other files and folders in the coino folder.
Put your wallet.dat file back.
Open coino-qt.exe (make sure this is the only file in the folder you extracted coino-qt.exe.zip into)
Away you go.

There really isn't anything else to do.
If it still doesn't work there is an issue with your computer/internet/you're not getting rid of all the files.

I'm happy to team view your PC if you want, catch me on irc or pm.

You can assume that the coin is now completely free from his old owners and waiting  new comers to give it attention.

Well, isn't the obvious? "The people" is what coino is missing.  Both current devs and community are not nearly dedicated enough or in this case, physically able enough. I'm afraid pretty much everyone who cared enough (supporters, investors, etc) left coino after the original dev disappeared months ago. Only some of us hopefuls were left.

Smcardle was a major force behind the revival of coino, but he unfortunately suffered an accident and was out for several weeks.  My guess about what happened is he came back and saw that the rest of the dev team and community did not stand up to move coino forward while he was gone, so he gave up. This is very understandable and it's definitely not his fault.

Basically, it's really too little too late for coino at this point IMO.  Even if another person like smcardle steps up, without a community to back that person up, not too much will happen in terms of progress.

More importantly, we all have a better understanding of what makes this coin and others work, or fail.  There is no one magic thing that makes one coin better - hard work and a group is all it takes.  I've done work with other coins since I became involved here with Coino.  Some have done well, others have disappeared.  No single technical aspect really makes that happen - its more about the people.

Any luck with contacting either bgade or smcardle?

This is something simple I came up with after playing around with a free website designer:

As far as how to implement all of that onto the actual Coino website, I'll leave that up to those more knowledgeable than I. lol
