Folgory is a proven scam exchange.  I have seen it personally.

To the Mooncoin Community:

There are now over 200 signatures to the Mooncoin Statement of Guiding Principles.  We thank all of those who have signed the document to enable widespread support for the points contained within. 

We, the six original signers of the document, are now in discussions on how to move the project forward in tangible ways.  We want to reiterate point #1 which is a cease fire on all accusations and attacks, especially those against our group of 6, which include the senior developers who have kept the blockchain up and running for the past several years.  Those who violate this cease fire and continue to accuse and attack will not have a voice in the planning discussions for the project which we are undertaking.

Please stay tuned to our official channels on Telegram, Bitcointalk Forum, Reddit, and Facebook for future updates. 


Signed,

I don't know.

I have had no trouble trading & withdrawing MOON from Unnamed.Exchange ...  but I agree that there is evidence out there about this particular exchange being a scam for some.  The solution is for Mooncoin to be listed on other exchanges in addition to this one.

Yes, https://www.unnamed.exchange/

I agree it is bad marketing!

Vassillis asked me to post his information to here.  I declined to do that, and replied he should post it himself, which he has now done.  

I was not part of any of the past decisions or discussions.  Vassilis has made his opinions clear to me when I asked him and he has now repeated his opinions here.  There is an entire body of discussion and debate on this topic both in this forum and elsewhere, and I have nothing specific to add.  I feel I am coming to this particular party quite late and after everybody has made up their minds!

I am focused on working on our new website and continuing to push the project forward with those who are willing to work together.

Yes the community has decided (years ago) to burn the 62B cryptsy coins and my understanding from everybody I've been talking to (with one exception) is that is still the plan and has widespread support.  That 62B is the main subject of clause #7 of the Statement of Guiding Principles.

We are now on Unnamed.Exchange with 5 trading pairs. Withdrawals recently fixed.

Thanks to Bob and the U.E. team for getting us working on the Exchange!

Note: the Mooncoin project does not officially endorse any exchange. Use at your own risk.

Edit: The statement now has 79 signatures but we need more!

I posted it to our Mooncoin Subreddit as well.

We have a new pool available for mining Mooncoin:  Moonharvest.io

I helped them get up and running.  This is a solid team and they are committed to maintain the pool and support our community.

It is clear that the Mooncoin community needs to rebuild trust so that we can move forward together and advance our project.

I have been talking to several senior members of the Mooncoin community in a private Telegram channel which I set up and invited them to.  This small group includes a couple of long-term investors in Mooncoin and three of the principal developers for the Mooncoin Core wallet.

We have all signed onto the following Mooncoin Statement of Guiding Principles and we offer this to the rest of the Mooncoin community in the hopes of getting broad support.  Please see the link at the bottom of this post to add your name to the list of people who have signed this and who agree on this path forward for the Mooncoin project.

Mooncoin Statement of Guiding Principles

This is a statement on the future of our decentralized cryptocurrency among those who care the most about it.  These are all beliefs and principles that we share and have widespread agreement among our community.  We have listed what needs to be done in a specific order, except as otherwise noted.  Once there is broad support and consensus on these principles, then we will decide as a community how to move forward with addressing them.

We, the undersigned, agree the following:

Building Trust & Governance
(These items are the foundation of our project and its community.)

1. A cease fire on individual accusations and attacks based on what happened in the past; people must stop making public accusations and testimonials of their lack of trust in others. We must assume positive intent among the individuals who are coming together to move the project forward.  This is a new start.  The past is the past and we are doomed to repeat it unless we learn from it.  Moving forward we will insist that all members of the community act ethically and responsibly towards positive outcomes, otherwise they forfeit their participation in our community.

2. While we hold to our philosophy of a decentralized project, we will create innovative methods to allow our community to have a voice in the future of the project and its development, and we will seek partnerships with like-minded organizations. We will find new ways to represent the constituencies of our community and ensure their voices are heard.

Sanctity of Official Resources
(These items should be roughly done in the order specified.)

3. It is critical that the Mooncoin community have a single official Wallet and all other github repositories are deleted to maintain consistency and provide confidence to potential users of the cryptocurrency. All other wallets should be archived or deleted.

4. Additional technical and protocol work needs to be done to the current wallet & blockchain to limit risk of chain attacks and other vulnerabilities.

5. The Mooncoin community should also have a single official Website. Again this is to maintain consistency and provide confidence to users.  All other websites should be archived or redirected to the main website. It is fine for there to be multiple ancillary websites such as for mining pools, explorers, etc, but the main project information should be on one official website that is the source of truth for all.

6. A new development fund consisting of a major cryptocurrency (such as BTC) should be set up to collect donations on behalf of the community for the initial purpose of being listed in an exchange. 

7. Any coins that were acquired unethically should be destroyed (burned), and that should be determined by blockchain consensus, representing the entire community.

8. Any Folgory promotion should cease immediately and users told to withdraw their coins. Then Mooncoin should ask to be delisted from Folgory.  Folgory has been proven to be an unethical exchange and we do not support Mooncoin being used by unethical exchanges.

Rebuilding the Community
(These items can be done in parallel once everything above has been accomplished.)

9. Inquiries for listing on additional exchanges should be a priority with a listing on an audited US exchange being a top priority.

10. People should be encouraged to run the current Mooncoin Core wallet on their machines at all times and to open port 44664 on their router to assist the network by running full nodes.

11. An official or semi-official mining pool should be set up and detailed instructions given to the community on how to mine with ASICs, to build the network-wide hash rate.

I have some recommendations for the community.  I am in the process of reviewing these with senior members of the community and gathering feedback.

Will update this post when ready to share.

I have been talking to both Mooncoin camps (Mooncoin.com and Mooncoin.eco are their public websites) and I have some questions.  Feel free to reply here or private message me here or email me at jburk@moonsociety.org

1. There is a specific wallet with 62 Billion Mooncoin which I'm told was agreed by everybody to be burned, but no action has yet been taken.  Is there a specific reason for that?

2. Regarding the wallet software client located at https://github.com/MooncoinCommunity/wallet -- why was this wallet developed and what is its current state of development?  I have read that it "removes the standard consensus rules that are in place to protect the chain and transactions".  What is the rationale for that?

3. There was a development fund created in the past (might be related to that 62B wallet).  What is the current state of any development funds or any other funds that were earmarked for development?

I have some specific ideas and recommendations but I am still working on those and would like answers to these questions first.  Thank you!

Please reference this thread for the latest on Marscoin [MARS].  The Marscoin cryptocurrency, a fork of Litecoin and Bitcoin, is still an active project since 2014 and backed by the nonprofit Marscoin Foundation.

Beware of Folgory Exchange!  I have direct knowledge of them scamming a user out of thousands of dollars of BTC, Doge and Marscoin.  I posted screenshots today to our Reddit channel.

In 2021, we are buying & selling Marscoin on XT.com, Finexbox and via OTC trades on our Discord.  Find all the links to the community at www.marscoin.org

The Mars Society has just announced their support for Marscoin and the fact that we now have over 1M marscoins donated.  This was done after the passage of the new Colorado Digital Token Act and some extensive research & consultations we did.  Non-profits do not have a lot of guidance around cryptocurrency donations, but we are throwing our hat into the ring now.
