42-coin has no premine or instamine and has never been sold via an ICO, all coins were distributed fairly via mining in 2014-2016. All works and fees are paid by investors themselves (at will).

• Open port #4242 for incoming connections.

• Translate to your language the first post of this thread, post it in local section, and keep updated.

• Help to add 42 on more exchanges:
  mercatox.com: https://mercatox.com/coins/list - total 81 votes

• For developers:
PoS Modification. Current PoS (based on CoinAge) is working very slowly due to the small supply. In PoS generation should participate inputs with less than 1 CoinDay or need to find a way how to accelerate the process of inputs maturation. // reward is $1000 in 42.

• For investors:

If you would like to invest in 42 any significant amount, you can contact me by telegram: @Lasergun.
Please note that investment discussion is possible only with existing holders familiar with the coin (you should have at least $1000 worth of 42).
Do not disturb me if you don't have any 42 in your wallet!

I like your project. I will be following it!

Is this a re-issue of the 42 coins way back in 2013?

[Lasergun]

I thought hendo420 was trying to revive this coin late last year, what happened then?

I contacted him two weeks ago regarding this matter, his answer was: "I tried to revive the coin but was trolled pretty bad so decided not to do a revival."

Is this a re-issue of the 42 coins way back in 2013?

Yes, it is. The genesis block was created on 7th Jan 2014 01:09:14. But I plan to make a new client on modern codebase and migrate to it due to the large number of issues with the original codebase.

So we can use our old 42 coins or everything will be new?

Actually, all depends of the community and desirable changes. I propose redemption (swap), during which old 42-s will be redeemable for new 42-s on a 1:1 basis, old 42-s will be destroyed at the same time.

[Woody20285]

Hey Lasergun - Thank you for picking this up - look forward to
your leadership.

[Edkemper]

Wasn't 42 coin one of the most expensive coin ever made so far, about 2 to 3 years ago?

[Lasergun]

You are right, 42 was the most expensive coin ever made, at its peak value in 2014, 42 was traded at the highest rate at 1900.00 btc:


and the current price is 0.0654 btc, I made a screenshot for the future reference:

[funkenstein]

Cool.  Wishing y'all good luck!

You might want to check my post on 42coin from last year. 

http://frass.woodcoin.org/the-42coin-saga/

There's also this one:

https://github.com/funkshelper/42-limited-edition

All it would take would be for a couple of you to start mining using that one and hey presto - a limited supply coin.   Kind of antisocial to recommend forking from a year old point but hey - altcoins are about experimentation aren't they?   

Not that scrypt coin on its own could tread water today..  move algos?  switch to mergemined like doge?

Thanks for the quick answer mate good luck

Thank you for the support, guys!
The first priority now is to choose the emission model, so don't forget to submit your vote.

i tried the last version  ( https://github.com/fourtytwo42/42 ) several times last year.. i was never able to fetch up the the highest blocks.. the chain always got stuck.. i also heard there were different chains.. hendo wanted to fix that, but actually did nothing.. it also consumes a lot of cpu and reacts very slow..  so what are you going to do against that?

here my actual getinfo, what are your numbers?

Code:

{
"version" : 70000,

"balance" : 0.00000000,

}

This is a well known problem with all 42 clients (included the latest v. 8.0.0, compiled by soopy452000). It is appear when your client established connections with clients from alien chains ("subver" : Satoshi:0.6.3, Satoshi:0.8.5, DigitalcoinV3.0:3.0.1, WorldcoinFoundation:0.8.6.2...), you can avoid such problem by blocking  their ports (9538, 9556, 9065, 9336, 9333, 7999, 11081, 28753, 9526, 19904, 9771). Will be fixed in client on a new codebase.

[tolikkk]

I think, we need to leave only 42 coins to start intense marketing campaign to enhance the status of the coins and to attract potential investors and to coin continued to live
