Just wanted to share one of my tests with generating privkeys in wallet import format (wif).
I took the SHA-256 (HEX) checksum from the files on the /contest/ page and generated an importable privKey (wif).
But..... nothing - balance is staying at 0.00000

I'm out - no more clues.

Just wanted to inform you that the new homepage for ZEIT is online:
https://zeit-coin.net
If you find any flaws please report them at the ZEIT/Slack channel #website

The new page is currently under construction - it will be ready when it's ready ;-)
(Spoiler: end of february is a realistic date - yes i know we don't have a leap year...)

The redirection to bitcointalk topic is still in place because of:

• the new page isn't ready
• the old page has been hacked and the vulnerability hasn't been closed

the site should be back up - we just transfered the domain to a new webserver..

i'm currently working on it - the new site will be online as soon as possible.

i'm feeling really bad right now - for not coming up with the new page - has been a long time an no single line code from me.... *sign*
okay - let's get that new website on track
@Ray - could you please set up a public git repository under zeitcoin/zeit-coin.net

I whish everyone a wonderful new year's eve!

time to get some more lovely precious pink coins!

it will get the attention it deserves!

I'm waiting since >72h for my withrawal from HitBTC.... but hey a got response from the support:
=============
Dear Trader,
Thank you for reaching out.
Please accept our sincere apologies for this inconvenience.

Our team is fully aware of the situation and the solution is on its way already. We feel sincerely sorry for that you had to face such delays with BTX withdrawals, and we would like to assure you that everything is going to be fixed at shortest delays.

Again, please forgive us for such an unpleasant experience. Your transaction is going to be processed very soon. Thank you for your patience.

Regards,
Marguerite Tessier‍
HitBTC Support Team
=============
hopefully they get it fixed till monday for the airdrop ;-)

sure!

My BTX withdrawal on HitBTC is pending since +24h.
Support is not responding to my ticket...

warning: do not deposit any BTX at HitBTC or Bit-Z!

HitBTC:
1. a lot of people (me included) are waiting for their withdrawals to be processed
2. support tickets are not being answered

Bit-Z:
1. The trades are looking very strange - for me they look like fake trades executed by a cronjob to artificially pump up trade volume. I think they are trying to attract a lot of traders with fake trades and volume.
2. If you want to withdraw your funds you have to get verified and a lot of people posted that they could not get verified... so how do you get your coins out there??

Greetz,
ebo

I've submitted the coin request form on Poloniex!

Here you can do the same:

i'm currently developing a new page for ZEIT. Release Date will be somewhere at the end of this month.

@Sir kiko, sorry i don't agree with your opinion about the webpage.
LostWords offered to spend time in doing something for the coin. Why not let him do some work and evalute the result?
Personally I do not like to condemn things in advance - a continuous improvement process for the coin shouldn't be counterproductive.

@LostWords: be careful with changings of the logo - the actual ZEIT logo ist very bold/turbulent and for me it looks like 1990 / 2000 style.
The last 5 years logo trends mainly went to simple/plain/reduced styles (Flat Design):
https://dcrazed.com/modern-flat-logo-designs/

But this is changing these days - and users will see the results in the next years and will get used to them.
These are actual logo design for 2017 - just look at "Pasta Bends" - if you ask me: awful - but okay (some) design trends pave the way for future products...
https://www.logolounge.com/articles/2017-logo-trends

Logo conclusion: maybe the actual ZEIT logo becomes attractive again like it is. ;-)

@LostWords: 2ct to the website: i'm willing to help you out with it - please register at slack and join the development channel.
We should create a repository at GitHub for the website like other projekt do it: (example: https://github.com/Storj/storj.io).
