I don't really care about the 100 from the raffle.  You sponsored the raffle, you purchased the S3's, I don't care what you did with those coins, those are YOURS, and if you sold them to help pay for the S3's I don't blame you.

My concern is about the unclaimed coins, the possibly hundreds of MMXIV belonging to folks who aren't watching this thread and have no idea their coins are about to become worthless if they don't transfer them to Bittrex by Sunday, or contact you to get new coins.  Those coins are not yours, they belong to other MMXIV wallet holders, yet they are in your possession.

How can we track it on the rich list if we don't know which wallet it is? 

Forgive me, my intention is not to be cynical, nor am I am trying to accuse you of anything.

I think everyone can agree that for every legitimate, honest coin there are two unscrupulous scamcoins.  Just trying to keep visibility here so everyone knows that MMXIV is not one of the latter.  Making public the address of the wallet that contains coins waiting to be claimed is important.

There *will* end up being a significant number of unclaimed coins, and I think it's important that everyone can see where those coins are held and that they're not just being dumped on the exchanges.

I'd like to see the wallet address containing unclaimed MMXIV made public in the block explorer (when it's up) for some transparency on that.

I realize there are 2014 coins on both the old and new chain.  That is not what I'm talking about.

To trade in old MMXIV for new MMXIV, the coins must be on Bittrex by Sunday.  It is highly unlikely that the entire supply of all 2014 MMXIV exists in Bittrex wallets right now, so there's going to be alot of extra new MMXIV leftover that doesn't get transferred to anyone.

For those who did not get their coins to Bittrex by Sunday, those people have to contact you and provide their private key in order to get their coins.  It is very likely that alot of people who have modest amounts of MMXIV are no longer paying attention to this thread, or just don't give a shit and won't bother trading in. 

Right now, you have all 2014 of the new MMXIV.  To distribute all 2014 coins requires every single wallet holder to either transfer their coins to Bittrex by Sunday, or contact you sometime afterwards with their private key info so you can transfer manually to their new wallet.  What I'm saying is, it's likely there will be alot of MMXIV leftover that is unclaimed.  I wouldn't be surprised if it added up to 20% or more of the coin supply.

What happens to this MMXIV?

So what will happen to the unclaimed MMXIV?

Also why is the Linux wallet version v0.4.0ppc-6-g38d7b9d-beta while the Windows wallet is v1.0.0.0-unk-beta?

Please answer - is this Sunday a hard deadline or will you be accepting other ways to verify MMXIV balances and trade in coins after Sunday.

The reason I ask is that I think it is a bit unfair to expect every single MMXIV owner to to trade in their coins with just a couple days notice. 

What happens if only 1,000 coins are claimed?  What happens to the remaining 1014 coins?

Is this a hard deadline?  Like, if you don't have your balance at Bittrex by Sunday you're out of luck?

No shit, can't make deposits if Bittrex has the wallet shutdown.

I sent my MMXIV to Bittrex right before they closed the wallet - and looks like half of it was credited or something.  My Bittrex balance is higher than it used to be, but not as high as it should be after my deposit.  Weird shit.

Coins sent to Bittrex, fingers crossed . . . I don't like having 100% of my coins in one place.

I'm still confused on exactly what is going to happen here.  Sounds like you are going to create a new coin that is 100% POS with 2014 total coins.  Bittrex will need to setup the new wallet, and you'll need to transfer funds to Bittrex to cover all MMXIV account holders, then they handle associating our balances with the new wallet and giving us new deposit addresses?

How will the multipool work with this?  I am still mining there, and payouts are going to my wallet address, not my Bittrex deposit address.

Most importantly . . . any idea on when this new transfer will take place?

I'm confused, I need to transfer all my coins to Bittrex to swap them for the new MMXIV?  How is this going to work?

Agreed - announcing a new coin and offering a trade-in period of only 3 days is very unfair. 

FuelCoin devs are going to end up with nearly all of the coins to themselves - 50% premine plus 30-40% of the coins that will not be claimed because they only gave 3 days to do the trade-in.

You should really consider allowing at least a week or two for the FC2 trade-in.

Agreed, would like to have some updates on POS fork, when is this coming?

As a pool op I still think this is bullshit for the reasons I mentioned in previous posts.

Sending a PM to the dev/announcer is a crap shoot.  Maybe he'll add it to the OP, maybe he won't.  The only thing guaranteed is that he won't do it fast.  This gives the devs control over what pools are "blessed" enough to be advertised, and us operators who put in the effort to setup a pool might get screwed by not being listed in the OP.  I see a thread where everyone is complaining that all the pools are down, so I bust balls and get one setup - and have to wait on the dev to announce it in the OP?  Maybe never even announce it at all?  Bullshit.

This also opens the door for shady launches where one pool gets 100% of the hashrate, this will of course end up being the pool of the dev's choosing, since being the first one to post "We are up and running" in the thread will no longer be allowed.  So, if I stay up until silly o'clock in the morning to make the launch and be first pool available it might just be for nothing, if the dev decides not to pay attention to his PM's, or decides he likes a different pool better and announces them first.  Bullshit.

During launch, shit happens fast - pool ops need to be able to post status updates and advertise that their pool is working.  Devs already have enough to do and should not have to babysit PM's and continue updating the OP for pool updates, and miners shouldn't have to keep checking back on page 1 to get those updates either.

Banning *ALL* advertisements because of a few spammers is cutting off your nose to spite your face.  Don't ban the entire practice of advertising pools - do your job: moderate, and ban those abusing the forum.  If it's a problem (and I agree it is) then try something else, for example:

- Ban the users blatantly and constantly spamming their pools (they are easy to find)
- Limit pool advertisements to 5 lines of 12pt text or less and one 80x80 px image
- Require pool operators to pay a modest annual fee ($20 or so?) allowing them to advertise
- Any combination of the above

Yes - you heard me - I am willing to pay for the right to advertise.  I'm sure others are as well.

Getting added to the OP by requesting the devs via PM is a joke.  It happens maybe 50% of the time, and never quickly.  I don't want to risk breaking the rules because someone asked a question about which pool to mine at or which pool is working and I responded "Mine" and provided a link.

Ban the spammers, don't ban the practice entirely.  Limit pool advertisement size to 5 lines of text and one 80x80px image.

This is nazi moderator bullshit. 

I disagree with this.  Next thing you know I'll get banned for posting something like "Hey, since all the other pools are busted why don't you try my pool at http://blabla.minemyshit.com"  Would that be considered "advertising?"

If someone asks a question like "Hey which pools are working right now" and I respond with "My pool at http://blabla.minemyshit.com is working great, come on over" will I get in trouble for that?  Should we expect everyone interested in mining to try every pool listed in the OP, which is not always current and definitely does not show status (working or not, forked or not), to find a working pool?

Being able to post pool advertisements in the coin's thread is important during launch.  Pools are coming online far faster than the devs/announcer can keep the OP updated.  Don't make us pool operators PM with the devs to get listed in the OP, and don't force all the forum users to constantly have to switch back to page 1 to see new pools that have come online.

Perhaps a better solution would be to limit the SIZE of pool advertisements, that's what's so damn annoying.  No more 500x500 graphic logos and 10 lines of huge text.  I would have no problem limiting my pool announcements to something that could fit in maybe 5 lines or so, if such guidelines were published.

What are you going to do with the FC2 that is unclaimed?

Kindof funny actually, I took 1.2TH away from FuelCoin to mine at MMXIV, and ended up still mining FUEL anyway (for a little while at least)

Most importantly - need to get a block explorer up and running that is on the new wallet, and can be used as the authoritative source for the current network block height.  Right now, no one knows what block FUEL is supposed to be on, so there is no way to tell who is forked and who isn't.

My wallet says current network block height is 227044 but still reports out of sync, probably because of that number being far, far behind from where we should be right now, and no one is mining to find new blocks.  If block 227044 was mined 24 hrs ago, we should be on block 228600 or so by now.

Heh - yeah, FuelCoin is def having some problems

Any updates on the POS fork?  Specs?  When?
