yes it's gone

Torihiki LTD bought mintpal, a company that has been setup 2 months ago, they contracted moolah to do the migration.
But he just run with all the funds after the fuckup, and now Torihiki LTD is saying that they ended all association with MintPal (wich they can't because they own mintpal).

Many complaints at the police / FBI whatsoever runs against moolah/ryan whatever his name is.
In my eyes Torihiki LTD is the one responsible as they contracted him. (i even think it is owned by moolah/ryan aswell)

It's another warning why people should not have all there funds at an exchange.
You can still try and withdraw the funds, but not many people have been succesfull

With ~2 months to go we already prepared a new kind of Paper wallet for WhiteCoin (with the first x-mas radio song already heard :/ ).
This can be a great idea to give coins to your friends or family. and let them get involved in Crypto !
A preview of how the Paper will look like you find below.

A working Example can be found here and ofcource the source is released aswell:

In time, there might me more backgrounds, but this is just for start. better be early then late !

WhiteOS utilizes a custom, optimized and hardened Ubuntu environment based on the latest version 14.04LTS.  WhiteOS is a secure and portable operating system that anyone with a PC or laptop will be able to use. Because the OS and Wallet data files are stored on a USB, you effectively have true cold storage, and your coins will follow you wherever you go.

BUILT IN ANONYMITY - One of the most unique features of this secure environment is that the wallet and browsers are redirected through a TOR proxy to ensure anonymity and privacy (this runs locally by default). When you unplug your USB stick no trace is left on the host PC.

A special thank to all the private and public  beta-testers (some who wished to remain anonymous)!!!  We have fixed many bugs that I would not have found on my own system.

We are dedicated to make WhiteOS as feature rich and secure as possible.  Continued development on some really nice and unique features is under way and will be released in future versions.    

What happens after the release of WhiteOS, we have some really nice unique ideas that we are willing to implement in future versions of WhiteOS, so we continue to develop on WhiteOS as a good and secure and portable OS. Once the release of WhiteOS is succesfull more features will be added

Download:
WhiteOS_0.2.2_x86_live.iso 1.07 GB - Mirror 1 (mega) | More mirrors soon
WhiteOS_0.2.2_x64_live.iso 1.09 GB - Mirror 1 (mega) | More mirrors soon

If you like my work, consider buying me a beer @ WC: WPTThUxWVSnvrRivH4epkkGGX1JQvd74pf or BTC: 1EP1RWV8Wt4geJgQBpdoTho2UifaNpTWMy

Options to install:

• On USB so it's portable (main idea and easiest)
• Under windows (VMWare/Virtualbox (make sure to use PAE)/Hyper-V) (easy)
• Dual-boot next to windows (advanced)

WhiteOS comes with a backup tool to remotely backup your wallet and home dir. You can either backup using FTP / SSH / Windows Share or other drives. Just look under settings and make sure to create backups.

Caution:
IF YOU ARE INSTALLING WHITEOS ON TO YOUR MAIN PC, ENSURE YOU DO NOT OVERWRITE YOUR PRIMARY OS... IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THIS, THEN WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU FOLLOW THE USB OR VM INSTRUCTIONS TO ENSURE THAT YOUR MAIN OS REMAINS SAFE

How to prepare your USB Key and Boot to WhiteOS

We have postponed the release till monday 20 October, today we have solved any small bugs left that was reported by the community.
I hope to have the 64 bit version done aswell in time, just need to smash some small bugs in the 64 bit version.

Just move along then, bye !

That really sucks Nexby. Maybe you can still withdraw them in time (needs to be done before 31 oct.
About the discussion item, ever since i heard of the vrc trouble i removed some coins from Mintpal, and shortly after i heard Moolah was taking over i had a bad feeling about this. So i moved everything out of Mintpal.

For a long time i have my Whitecoin staking in my wallet and have put my other coins on bittrex. Bittrex has IRC support aswell and are very active with good support. Cryptsy won't see me back after to many problems caused by them (double withdraw bug, slow daemon updatinng etc). Also they do not have a IRC support and the ticket system support just isn't good enough for me.

Thanks!, it's difficult to give an exact date yet. but i think i should have it done by next week. while preparing the 32bit final version i'm preparing the 64 bit version aswell. it depends a bit if mayor bugs shows up. (untill now there have not been any, just some small UI fixes)

Please RT: https://twitter.com/Oizopower/status/520679020078575616 and let people know.

Thanks for sharing, i have only tested it with "ubuntu" selected. but it should be fine. Thanks for your catch.
edit: i see now, you cannot create a persistant drive that way: "step4" from my screen

So.. what wil happen on 3 October 2014, At 21:00 UTC+1 (Amsterdam) i will be on IRC in #whitecoinfoundation selecting people to participate in the private beta and help people to get started if needed.
We will be selecting between 5 and 10 people to participate in the private beta, and maybe more in the following week if there are not many bugs being discovered.
If people are willing to write articles in a WIKI that we have set up for WhiteOS that would be great, this will earn you a place faster in the private beta

After a week we will begin public beta testing to ensure we have all the remaining bugs solved (if there are still any left)

What happens after the release of WhiteOS, we have some really nice unique ideas that we are willing to implement in future versions of WhiteOS, so we continue to develop on WhiteOS as a good and secure and portable OS. Once the release of WhiteOS is succesfull more features will be added
