it seems, something good is happening :-)

yes
but since we have now the blockhashes project, at least attempts to manipulate past data will be detected:
https://github.com/chess-fan/blockhashes-of-ChessCoinone of my tasks is to check if actually someone tampered with the blockchain already:
https://github.com/chess-fan/MCT/issues/4> If we have a checkpoint, we can regularly do a bootstrap - in addition, we do a monthly backup of the blockchain for backup and download ?!
The bootstrap "creation" is independent from the checkpoint so-to-say, but could ofc also be coupled to the regular checkpoint mechanism.
from the link:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1510517.msg18900923#msg18900923May 2017: "Please help Yobit: The Blockchain is on ~315000 we are already on ~531300: Please do not make any withdrawals / deposits on Yobit"
sounds to me as if YoBit was on a fork, can't tell more without having looked more into it though.

Thx, added to:
https://github.com/chess-fan/MCT/issues/1#issuecomment-350582394> The code base 2013 also explains why we need a chesscoin.conf to even build the network?
who knows, we'd need to dig in the code :-)
the normal behaviour in newer software is, that the config file is created automatically, or at least a message pops up telling you to create the file with such and such content
Wooowwwww what is going on here - so much was not the whole last year going on...

For me is now relevance:
- We need is a checkpoint this is very important... If we have a checkpoint, we can regularly do a bootstrap - in addition, we do a monthly backup of the blockchain for backup and download ?!
- We need a virus check - I've been following orders and landed in 2013 as well - so I would say this is the code base from 2013...
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1510517.msg18900923#msg18900923Part of my security analysis shows that the code base is from 2013 (the github version of 2016 is just the upload time).
Anyways, be it 2013 or 2016, when I'd want to "test" something I take the freshest codebase of bitcoin itself and not some old software where security bugs are already known for :-(
The code base 2013 also explains why we need a chesscoin.conf to even build the network?
