I mean i just told you guys almost exactly what needs to be done, short of coding and testing it myself (time consuming)... But this is really a marketing and leadership exercise.  I'm just a dev that is willing to help.

First of, whoever wants to really revive the old coin should take charge and start a new BCT thread to have control of the situation... Then have to recruit: working on getting new website, new domain, social media places setup.. get in contact with exchanges (mullick from cryptsy seems wanting to help), and just grease all the wheels necessary.

Until that happens all i can do is supply academic information.. anyways i'm patching my version of the code now and will be testing it.. but again, it's all academic unless a core group steps up to really drive this.

Who wants to step in? I'm not going to just sacrifice my investment.

If you know developers, please contact them. I wish I could code to help everyone that lost out!

Whoever is reputable, please step in because the new dev is backing out. Tons of people lost money in this endeavor and you can see the list at www.cryptosteam.com

To clarify, if patched in the way that I suggested:
  - No users will lose coins in their wallets, except for the premine scam cannot be used, up to a certain block.  All exchanges, wallets.dat files would retain their exact amount as before.
  - I have went over the source via diff using WinMerge line by line.. and have isolated all the diffs (about 4), so there's nothing else wrong with the src.
  - Although the old client binaries cannot be trusted.  Rebuilding the client from source and distributing it via compiled binary from a trusted dev is likely fine.


After my forensic analysis.. this thing turned out to be just a fairly unsophisticated premine scam.. and really it was just laziness on everyone's part to get it to where it is +2.5 weeks.. The biggest technical hurdle with the patch is to make sure that the coins in the premine wallet cannot be used for staking, as it can be assuredly used to enable a 51% attack.

That means we need new DEVS.

we got a lot of messages today regarding this project and seems that a lot of AC bagholder
don't want to see a new coin. Most of the AC community wants the old sources to be fixed
and patched. Therefore we are going to stop our work on ACv2.


some reasons:

• We will never publish a release with the original AC scamwallet as codebase
• We will not risk users to lose potential 30 million AC which were dumped
• we don't know whats still hidden in the sources
• big bagholders and active AC community-members don't want this

we are sorry to anounce this, but as you know, there is big responsibilty linked with
such a project. and in this case we won't take responsibility over other peoples money.

we wish you good luck!

Although that's possible.. that's not strictly necessary if we patch AC code and hard fork..

Essentially only 30m + 160m or so have been distributed to people (even though 30m was given to the dev scammer as BTC, the people who received it shouldn't be punished). 

So the total coins in circulation outside of the premine is only 190m.. When 320m was the target anyways for circulation after 1 year.

So it's very easy to adjust the POS reward so that the exact same # of coins appear in a year's time .. 320M from this point.. as long as the premine is eliminated from the equation..

In fact with a hardfork you can make any range of target for coins between 190m to some number.. if we want to keep it artificially rare.. it can just stay at 190M with 1% stake interest...

Hi guys, i would still advise to NOT create a new coin and do an exchange...

I've been through this before from experience trying to save RealStackCoin like this.. which although launched and made people feel better, eventually went down to 1 liteoshi in value.

The issue is that there is an existing network, of exchanges pools , and people.  Only a small percentage of those people will come and claim these coins, and getting exchange support AGAIN will be tough. and cost more money.

I still advise that the Asiacoin src is just patched up and delivered by voiding the premine.  Exchanges are ready to turn on their wallets again if we do so.  We should just take that deal.

Retaining the existing blockchain is worth something.. in fact .. it's the only intrinsic value of the coin.  And thus would have a much better chance at retaining existing coin value than a new coin.

And what about people like me who withdraw their AC from Mintpal today? Info about my coins is in much later blocks.

we are able to tracer every single transaction and we are also able to figure out
if an transaction is linked to an txoutput of the (premined) block nr. 1.

SIR how about me? i dont have ac wallet., im only using bittrex

nice idea.

we added a pool to the thread.
you can now vote. we will count the votes in 6h.

The new coin (wallets) will be ready to share in 12h.

Community Dev Coin.

As a tribute to the DEV's That stept up from and for the community

really?
it this is what the community wants then we can make it.

I think the first thing the AsiaCoin V2 team should do is examine the source on the old AsiaCoin wallet and make sure there is no wallet-stealing malware located inside of the wallet.  I had some AsiaCoin but I'm not going to open up the old wallet considering it might have key loggers / malware installed and as far as i know nobody has reviewed the old wallet's code.


The old dev stole lots of money from us and the exchanges by hiding a single line of code.....who's to say the wallet doesn't have more "surprises"
