Ladies and Gents,

Cryptopia market is back open! Just wanted to let everyone know, I won't be issuing a lengthy update on the state of the project in this post.

We've paid cryptopia the full amount they specified to remunerate all coin holders - so everyone's coins are safe. We have tested some withdrawals from our accounts and community members accounts on cryptopia and the withdrawals have worked, but for now please test any withdrawals from cryptopia by sending a small amount first. We do not expect there to be any problems but in the event that there are we want to be able to work with cryptopia to resolve them.

Thanks to everyone who has expressed interest in this project despite its many problems and false starts - I hope that our work with cryptopia to get the market back up demonstrates our commitment to doing right by investors. We still have a lot to do to make sure the other exchanges' coin holders are taken care of, and of course we want to do the fun stuff we came onboard to do (developing features!) but re-establishing trust after the revelations which lead to our hard fork is the top priority.

Please feel free to address questions to our dev or mod teams in our discord (link on our site, chancoin.org) or here, though I can't promise I'll be able to write as complete an update as I'd like to within the next few days.

Humbly thanking everyone for their support and patience,
Gossamer Socks

Hey people apologies as usual for the lateness of my update here - I know this is the primary avenue for news for most of you.

The coin is still going strong (at least, we think it is) - We're actively working with Cryptopia and the markets _will_ re-open and no coins will be lost.

I've recently received word back from novaexchange as well, so we'll be working with them shortly. Tradesatoshi is...well, tradesatoshi. When they feel like getting back in touch with us we'll help them update the wallet.

Finally, CryptoDAO - someone actually USED cryptoDAO to trade so I'll be getting in touch with them to make sure everything's accounted for - honestly we'd forgotten that we were listed there. Oops.

There will still be a full post-mortem of the fork process, outlining all the insanity that occurred, where we messed up, why we made the choices we made, etc. - but it may be a long time coming. All of the dev team are currently very busy with other life pursuits so major updates (that includes DGW) will have to wait until certain dev team members are free - but we do anticipate being able to stay largely on-track with respect to the roadmap.

Please feel free to come into our discord anytime with questions - but do be nice.

Hello - sorry again for the delay in posting - a quick update re: Cryptopia and the other exchanges.

We were in active contact with Cryptopia support as of Thursday. They've officially asked us to remunerate coins lost or frozen in their wallets during the hard fork. They provided an estimate which our senior dev team member asked that they verify by ensuring the wallet is updated, reindexing the blockchain and checking their balance against customer holdings. Once this is done, we will remunerate them for any coins lost.

We are attempting to do the same with Novaexchange and Tradesatoshi. Novaexchange has not responded to several emails. Tradesatoshi - well, I opened a ticket with them, which they apparently didn't read because they closed it with a bunch of bullshit about how we forked 'for some reason' (it was right there in the issue you turds) and how we must come up with 'some solution - the same for all exchanges' (yeah that was also in there dude). I penned a response telling them to read the damn issue...

...Sorry. Anyhow, thats the situation.

Obviously our efforts are focused on Cryptopia - and our only focus is ensuring that coinholders maintain ownership of their coins. I really wish that I could give more details, but that's all I know.

We're hopeful that we can work things out with all three exchanges and that all three markets will reopen soon. Ultimately, however, this is up to the exchanges and whether they wish to engage with us to resolve this issue.

Hey Cryptogaga, I'm sorry you were banned so suddenly - the mods have reversed that ban.

I will say that your question as asked in chat didn't give us the context that the coin had been abandoned - I recall seeing the post when you made it and thinking 'well that sounds nefarious' - and then it disappeared when a mod banned you.

Unfortunately my mods deleted the post history when they banned you - I've asked them not to do this and I'll ask them again.

In any event, you're welcome to join the server again if you wish, and apologies for the confusion.

With respect to reviving the coin you mentioned in your post - its a good question indeed - you might want to talk to some people involved in PIECoin, as I believe the codebase has been revived recently - I'd certainly be interested to hear how the effort goes.

As for the saga of Chancoin's Hard Fork From Hell - we will be posting a thorough post-mortem as soon as everything is resolved with exchanges - and as soon as time allows us to compose and edit it.

Again, my sincere apologies for the misunderstanding - i hope you'll come back and chat with us sometime.

Gossamer

the-doctor I can advise you only to wait, as we are currently working with Cryptopia to resolve the situation and ensure all coinholders coins are safe - as you can imagine, exchanges have their hands very full right about now with the BTC fork.

Other than that, a short, respectful support ticket stating that you support the fork and would like to see Chancoin continue on their exchange would be appropriate, I think. Please be respectful though.

Thanks for your support and I hope to issue a more thorough update here soon,
Goss

Apologies for the absence of developer input here - I'm one of the dev team.

Here is our official roadmap. We've been distracted by a hard fork which was carried out after we found that the founder of the project was obfuscating the amount of the pre-mine he held. Hopefully we'll be able to keep up with our goals for the third quarter.

Alas, I can't seem to get this image to hotlink properly, so I'll simply leave this here for now.

This discord link should work - https://discord.gg/wCA5wN5

I only got around to updating the website's links yesterday, things have been so hectic.

Thanks for your continued interest in our project and I look forward to getting things settled and working with community members to ensure their coins are safe.

Hey people, chancoin dev here. Just a quick update for those of you who aren't following along on our discord:

- As the project's founder was lying to the dev team about the amount of pre-mine he held (he claimed 1.2 million, reality was closer to 3 million) we decided to hard fork and freeze his funds. This resulted in a power struggle which ended in an eventual compromise - but not before the founder dumped close to a half-million coins on exchanges. Hooray. Currently we are working to complete the fork, get all the exchanges switched over to the new wallet etc. We will be posting a detailed-as-hell postmortem of the whole situation on our website, hopefully within 14 days at the very most.

Subsequent to this hard fork, we aim to verifiably burn down to 10% premine, or as close as we can get. Then we'll implement DGW and we're even working on a brand new PoW algo that we're hoping to introduce in the future

Please let me know if you have questions - I apologize for not responding here sooner, we've had our hands full with our discord server and other things, as you can imagine.

Thanks,
Goss
