Should be fixed with 0.10.1.
Corrupt wallet files can usually be fixed using BerkDB tools, an example commandline:

New opcodes will be enabled for better multisig capabilities. Kindly refer to the whitepaper for the details.
All the old coins are valid and will always be valid.
Old wallet files are forward compatible.

Once the network adopts the fork, the old nodes:
- won't be able to mine new blocks;
- should still be able to sync, send and receive transactions for the time being, but can no longer reliably check whether they're on the proper chain.

Disclaimer: main devs do not own miningbase, though the owner does sumbit valuable patches to the project.


For the time being, solo mining to a 0.8.x or 0.9.x wallet should work for any miners that support the algo. The instructions earlier in this thread should be still valid.
0.10.0 will only work if your miner properly supports getblocktemplate for solo.
Next minor release will introduce a softfork, once it kicks in the blocks generated by earlier versions will no longer be accepted by network. Currently the plan is to do so in 0.10.1 around March, unless a need for a bugfix release arises.

At the moment, the webmasters are working on getting the official block explorer back online. Since we've got over 5 million blocks, the database re-deployment is a lengthy process which may take hundreds of machine hours. Until it's on, you may use the miningbase simplified explorer.
We're looking forward to cryptopia re-opening and plan to apply for a new exchange listing as well once our site is updated.

There will be a minor wallet update soon (0.9.2 most likely).

The work on a new major release is already in progress, 0.10 will bring fast parallelized block syncing and various security and RPC improvements for smoother integration of light/web applications. This should give a green light to the Web Wallet on our roadmap.

If any pool operators wish to add Animecoin support and have trouble modifying their stratum software, feel free to address us or the miningbase sysop (daiyousei).
