Cryptsy is at fault here since they had the means and opportunity to inform us of what they planned to do but did not and as a result, investors lost approximately 250,000 usd. I will be posting Skype logs later on confirming I had talked to Bit John days prior including a message the day before the delisting announcement stating we have a team to fix the problem and would begin fundraising for the fix but again, no notice.

I don't want to make this thread about Cryptsy but I would be happy never to have to deal with them. Three times in three months Cryptsy has done something negative to the Col market. If it had not been for Cryptsy, ColossusCoin would be trading at 4-5 times it's current price but instead, everyone has taken losses.

If your coins are past due to stake, as soon as you unlock your wallet they will create stake blocks.

Step 4

Go to your Colossuscoin folder which is found in User/Appdata/Roaming/Colossuscoin and delete everything in the folder except your wallet.dat Your wallet.dat contains your private keys, if you delete that you will permanently lose your coins so please make a backup of it before deleting anything.

Step 7 *optional*

If you would like to check your wallet for coins that may not be showing up in your wallet, click on "Help", "Debug Window" and click on the Console tab.

Type Checkwallet to check for any coins that may be missing and should say "wallet check passed" : true

Update March 22nd

We will be releasing details of our fundraising program for the wallet fix and IPO for Colossuscoin 2.0 in a few short days. Cryptsy must be listening because they removed the deactivation message. This IPO will be raised ONLY in Colossuscoin up to a limited amount with highest priority given to members of the community who have supported us.

Let's make this happen!

Original topic

It has come to our attention that Cryptsy may delist Colossuscoin from their market due to low volume of trade. Although we cannot control what an exchange does we can and are focused on building a better Foundation. We are fully committed to this project and will be here through the ebbs and flows of even the stormiest of times. To us, Colossuscoin is not just another Cryptocurrency, we are a group of friends bound together by the ideology that we can make a difference in the world and it is this spirit that will overcome insurmountable odds.

In regards to the wallet issues.

The wallet syncing issues are due to IRC blocking bitcoin clients and has caused peers not to be able to connect to each other on the network.

Over the last couple months I have contacted approximately 20 software developers in order to find a permenant team to help develop for Colossuscoin. My goal was to find an experienced local team in Vancouver who I could work with face to face to bring our project goals to life and have been in meetings with several professional teams as well as the original developer of Colossuscoin


The cost of the new wallet is 6.5 BTC and will take 1 week to complete once funding is finalised.

Although committed, the Colossuscoin Development Team are not large shareholders and will need financial support from the community in order to make this happen. All input and ideas on how to raise the funds nessecary are appreciated.




Please help the Colossuscoin community by donating to the Development Fund addresses

Since Cryptsy has put the deactivation message it has caused a deep sell off of all shares and essentially cut all potential funding to fix the problem with the wallet. It will take a fair bit of time now for the Development Team to raise the funds necessary to resolve the wallet issues.

The wiki for Colossuscoin needs to be redone since it's 100% Proof of Stake and has been since December.

I would recommend ADT, 100% Proof of Stake and against all odds Zackclark70, the largest holder rebuilt the entire blockchain and got it swapped over and got back all coins to the community. I have an immense respect for Zack, if he can do something like that there is nothing that can stand in his way.

ANDROID TOKENS

100% Proof of Stake and Zackclark70 rebuilt the entire blockchain and got all the exchanges to swap over, never been done before. Zack is quite well off since being in crypto since the early days so he has alot more upgrades planned. Only going to see it go up since there are no miners to devalue the currency.

Get in now, just got back on cryptsy today.

Sent you a pm, I'm down to help you

100% Proof of Stake, fully mined and cheap as chips... Not to mention that Zack pretty much achieved the impossible. Should we start making bets on just how much it's going to rise?  I'm calling for atleast a 500% increase

I'm pretty busy with Colossuscoin to keep updated on it myself but I'd say he has a legitimate case against them, much like Mt Gox.

Thought I'd check in to see how the swap to Cryptsy was going, came across this thread in my search.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=505718.0

Looks like if Cryptsy doesn't start moving soon they are going to start seeing some lawsuits....

Let's not let this get out of hand please, Hippie Tech may be a pain in the ass but he is entitled to his opinion even if we disagree with it.

Yes, it appears as if the freenode IRC has started banning bitcoin clients, I have some people looking through the code

IMPORTANT


I know everyone is super excited but I would like to remind everyone that we are working through stability issues. These issues include slow syncing and possible connectivity issues. This is a reminder to please do your due diligence when investing.

We already have a complete version of the blockchain uploaded.


The forums are currently undergoing upgrades, lots of new stuff coming soon.

You can't fight price action, best time to buy is when there is little interest over a 1-2 week period with very little volume. Take a look at the long term price of Col on Cryptsy.


About the premine

A 4% premine is good for the coin, development and promotion costs are a fair bit of money. Mintcoin is already established so you aren't going to see it head to $0. This is a long term game so I recommend not using the premine until 1-2 months after the full transition into POS. Wait until you know where the price bottoms are and have established a good long term team so that you are rewarding your team and makes it less likely that they will just sell the coins off

Just a little something that may help you guys out a bit from the Col team.

You are likely to see some drop in price from miners until around 1 month of being strictly POS. Colossuscoin is 100% POS since and December and it's awesome, you don't have to worry about the miners killing the value of the coin. Once fully POS, staking will move the blockchain so I would suggest depositing small amounts into wallets over the staking period so there is more coins staking periodically, we have started this and will see the results over the next couple weeks.

You may also see some connectivity issues with Cryptsy once POS only so if Cryptsy hits their fraud protection and takes their wallet offline and it's only POS, it will dramatically slow down the transaction times. If you fight with Cryptsy over any issues that happen they do have it within their right to delist your coin because they can't work with the community. I have talked with Bit John and Mullick extensively over the last month and they do a good job.

Remember, in a new technology there may be issues from time to time so it's all about how you handle the situation so you build bridges.

Just thought I'd put in my 2 satoshis

Good luck Mintcoin, wishing you the best from all of us at the Colossuscoin team.

Colossuscoin to Alpha centari!
