New (working) richlist should be here soon - looks like we're going to have to go with another provider. Trying to get it online as soon as possible..

We are working on getting further exchanges on board and we should hopefully be seeing some progress soon. In the meantime you can help us get listed on AllCoin by retweeting our request:

Thanks

POD has already begun - initial information has been requested and sent, just waiting for the next step now.

We're also *hoping* to have encrypted messaging ready ahead of schedule.. The code is done and we're testing now.

Here is a link to a temporary rich list of the top 100 addresses:

We are in contact with our Block Explorer host with the hope that the live one will be fixed shortly.

For individuals that are concerned with the rich list please follow the link..

In the meantime, we will get a temporary richlist (accurate) online ASAP.

Thanks for this Serculius. We will take a look at it. However, please remove your address from the thread or you could be banned.

Thanks for the support guys. We've got much more work to do but it's been a great start so far.

We'll be contacting some other exchanges too and will hopefully see some more updates on that front very soon

We will exercise self moderation sparingly. We're happy for people to express their opinions, but we also want the option to have some control over unnecessary spam.

Opal is a re-brand, and entire re-release of OnyxCoin V2. The first OnyxCoin (V1) was, unfortunately, a scam. The original developer had coded a hidden premine and sold these coins when Onyx initially hit an exchange – the coin effectively died at this point. Shortly after this another developer decided to try and resurrect OnyxCoin by launching a new version of the coin (named OnyxCoin V2, surprisingly!) after making some changes to the PoW schedule, and removing the hidden premine.

OnyxCoin V2 was a completely new coin – 100% detached from the original OnyxCoin – in everything except the name. The launch was successful, as was the mining period – and also the transition to PoS. Sadly, the Onyx name was too far tarnished by the original scam, and interest in the coin has faded. It is at this point that Opal was born…

Opal uses the OnyxCoin V2 blockchain, which has always been a fresh new chain, but has been completely re-branded and is now backed by a team of committed members who wish to see the coin succeed. We liked what we saw in the codebase, and the wallet, and felt this was a great foundation from which we could build on - the first task being to detach it completely from the original name.

The Opal team consists of several, experienced members of the alt-coin community with skills ranging from coin development and programming, to website development and marketing. The team is committed to seeing Opal succeed and will work hard to ensure this happens.

About Onyx

For those that don't know the history of OnyxV2 please see the original thread:
OnyxV2

We have an issue with the Richlist on our explorer - the total coins showing is greater than the actual number of coins in circulation. I think the data may need refreshing - could you look into this please?

Thanks

Thanks to everyone for submitting their entries so far. We still have a couple of hours left before we make a final decision, so if anyone wants to have a last minute attempt feel free

There's been some great entries and the team are edging towards one in particular at this point.. and we will reveal the winner once we reach the deadline for submission entries.

We are happy with all the entries so far and would like to thank all participants for their submissions. However, we should have probably made ourselves clear in stating that we would like to have the OPAL clearly identifiable. Either positioned in the logo somewhere or via texturing or colours.. ie an OPAL stone. We should also stress it does not have to be in the form of a traditional "coin" logo.

Regards..

OpalTeam
