Thanks for raising this. The wallet is based on slightingly older QT code which does not have 'automatic unlock/relock' functionality.
I opened issue/enhancement request for this on our github - it will be dealt with.

I PM'd you asking for a bit more details and debug.log file - so we can troubleshoot and fix this problem.
Please let me know.

Hi everyone,

As 'the official' developer for the coin, I would like to chime in.
I have been using einsteinium account on the forum in the past, but this time I am posting from my own one.

Bob's frustration is partially my fault - I could not devote as much time as I wanted to the project recently. I believe he wants the best for the coin, but he gets discouraged easily where there are no immediate results.

However, the important thing to stress out that we have got a great, very dedicated team behind the coin, working really hard around the clock. Becuase Einsteinium essentially revolves around The Foundation, the 'coin dev' part is just a little element in the whole puzzle and actually maybe not even the most important one.

It is true that things and various projects we are currently involved with take longer than expected, but please keep in mind we all have got full-time jobs and we are doing our best to manage this. The Einsteinium Foundation is a non-profit organization, so our funding options are quite limited as well.

We are here for a long haul. Thanks to everyone involved, Foundation have already vitally contributed to the science development with the donations made so far - this is something rather unheard of in crypto world. It is only going to get better from here.

I want to reassure you that we are 100% for supporting the coin and The Foundation. Personally, I strongly believe that with Einsteinium we have created something trully unique and significant in crypto landscape (and beyond). It is not just the currency alone, but the synergy with the Foundation that make EMC2 to stand out and that legitimizes is as a viable long term undertaking - unlike many coins out there that just exist for their own sake.

Thanks for your ongoing support - we could not make it that far without you. Please bear with us as we work towards making Einsteinium even better project.

We are closing this thread now and will come back with a brand new announcement for our new project when we are ready. Stay tuned!

Actually, the idea behind the coin has been totally transformed now - the OP is not really relevant any more.
We are keeping the OP as it is to remind of ourselves and to mock these 'fakes' a bit.

In the meantime we are working hard to deliver our completely new, groundbreaking coin.

An update from us.

Because of this whole unfortunate situation with 'the fakes', we have been discussing the following options:

1. Release coin today as planned with FlappyBird name and see what happens. It is however unlikely many people would support our coin and it would create a massive confusion in the already confused crypto world.
2. Release the coin renamed to something similar (for instance FlappyBirdCoin). We would make ourselves 'copycats' this way though, it might be hard to get sensible support at this point.
3. Rebrand the coin and release something completely unique. This would kind of invalidate our work so far, but it is probably is the best plan if we want to be taken seriously and make something fresh in the community.

So we made a painful decision to hold the release and rebrand our coin completely. We are STILL IN THE GAME and actually plan to deliver something really fabulous. We are not going to rush the coin and got plenty of ideas.

We are not going to disclose anything more at this point (you all know how it ends...), but I can assure you that the upcoming release from our (now former) 'FlappyCoin team' will be BIG.

Many thanks to all of you who continuously support us and to those who provide us with some constructive criticism
Please watch this space.

We are seriously discussing rename, however if we give up the name, it would be a bit like admitting defeat to these thiefs/scamers. They are unethical people with a very dubious morality and we do not want to "reward" them in any way.

We now have got a bounty for a pool (3500 FLP). Let me know if you are interested in running a pool for FLP!

We are affected by unexpected delay, but we do everything we can to release the coin over the weekend.
This post will be updated well ahead of release to give everyone a fair chance to participate in the launch.

Today if everything goes according to the plan. Stay tuned!

I agree, it is quite bad. But don't worry, we have got plans to differentiate ourselves from the 'fake' coin and deliver something unique.
We are still here and NOT giving up - it is actually the opposite, we are now full of new strength and ideas.

Just to remind you, the ORIGINAL FlappyCoin is scheduled for release THIS WEEKEND.
Watch this space!

It is actually quite simple. We announced the projects ahead of time (I know it was a mistake now) - wanted to be fair with community. They decided to use our name and release a half-baked 100% DogeCoin clone before us...

They even tried to steal our identity. They changed most of this stuff now, but their readme on github still refers to our www.flappycoin.org website!



Personally I find this really devastating and discouraging.
But don't worry - the release will happen soon, we are working now as hard as we can to get the coin out.

NOTHING from the "premine" will be going to us, ALL will be given to the community. We have got some innovative faucet in development and need this premine to make it sustainable.

1. No, the current logo is just a placeholder - we are currently running logo contest. We are not affiliated with Flappy Bird game or its creator - it was just an inspiration for the coin. We DO NOT falsely claim any copyright on this coin.
2. Yes, 1%. This will ALL be given back to the community through some really innovative giveaway (stay tuned!), NOT dumped into exchange.

No, this is a COMPLETE clone, they did not even bothered to change any of the parameters.
The proper Flappycoin will be released soon - stay tuned:

Don't worry, before the coin is released we will update this thread with the EXACT time when the mining start, so everyone can start at the same time - not like in some other (khem khem) cases.

Don't worry, we are still there and going to release "true" (heh) FlappyCoin as planned.
The current situation is unfortunate, but we still believe that our coin offers something very unique. This "cloned" coin actually represents all we fight against - so it serves as a great example that our cause has got some point.

Your "copyright notice" is a total lie. You have just actually changed it, previously "the notice" just stated that you are from the same country as FlappyBird creator and because of this you feel entitled to use FlappyBird 'branding".

Anyway, this whole thing is actually quite pathetic and NOT what the original idea of Flappy was about - community, fair start, etc
We are rather devastated at the moment as we have put massive amount of work into our coin - just to have idea cloned and stolen.
We just hope that people are going to realize this - our "true" flappycoin is still scheduled for release this weekend.

You can PM me or email at aszu [at] flappycoin.org

Once again, please ignore CLONE that has just been announced on this forum.
These guys refer to our website (www.flappycoin.org) on their github - we have got nothing to do with them, they just essentially stole our idea.

It is quite sad that we announced our coin well ahead of time to give everyone chance to participate and this clone suddenly pops out of nowhere...
Don't support this fake coin: no fair launch at all (goes against all our principles), it is likely premined to the extreme and it is just a straight dogecoin clone (same params, probably the best they could do).

The ORIGINAL FlappyCoin is still in development, ETA for release is this weekend (15-16/02)
