Pool List

Multipool: https://www.multipool.us

Before mining our coin, consider reading our whitepaper. You will find that the Hybrid Proof of Work rules built into this project will force mining to always be unprofitable. Only application developers who build on Lynx, traders, builders and enthusiastic community members will wish to mine Lynx.

DNS Seed list been updated, wallets should seed accordingly now.

Current Seed List

About:

In 2017, our team upgraded and rebranded an existing coin (Kittehcoin/MEOW) as Lynx. How? We successfully forked Litecoin and ported the Kittehcoin blockchain history to it. This gives Lynx all the benefits and up-to-date security features of Litecoin with the full transaction history of Kittehcoin. These upgrades fixed the flaws in the original coin and revived its community of users. It’s cryptocurrency from the past; redesigned for the future.  

Why did we fix an old coin? Rather than start from scratch and drift alone at sea, we thought it would be more interesting to support an existing and established community. We figured: why build an audience from scratch when one already exists?

What problem does Lynx solve? Unlike many other coins, Lynx is eco-friendly and requires miniscule energy consumption (and technical expertise) to mine the coin. At Lynx, we believe that for cryptocurrency to be considered a secure, financial solution for today’s global marketplace, it must be created with global sustainability in mind. The energy costs of high-volume mining rigs are too demanding and they create an over-reliance on fossil fuels. Lynx business rules discourage high-volume mining rigs because our code purposefully lacks incentives to mine it for profit. Here are some of the business rules that help us achieve this goal:
 
1. The mining reward takes one week to “mature.”
2. The individual mining reward is only 1 Lynx (+ fees).
3. The cost of a transaction is 0.0001 Lynx/kb.

We designed Lynx to have minimal environmental impact because we’re committed to creating global solutions and maintaining a small carbon footprint. Lynx business rules encourage the use of low-cost computing (like a Raspberry Pi which only consumes less than 3 watts of electricity) to mine the coin. As a result, the electrical cost to maintain the Lynx network is a fraction of a fraction which results in a low environmental impact. The emphasis on low-cost computing also creates a decentralized, broad miner base which also strengthens the stability and security of the currency.

What makes Lynx cryptocurrency unique?

In addition to fixing an old coin (Kittehcoin) and making it eco-friendly, Lynx was designed with techies (high-end developers and programming experts) and non-techies in mind. In fact, we know there are more non-techies in the world than technical experts (!), and we wanted to provide them with an opportunity to get involved in Lynx behind-the-scenes. Our goal is to build an inclusive community that welcomes everyone to participate in the project. It’s one of the reasons we resurrected an old coin instead of building a new one from scratch. Our philosophy is a rising tide lifts all boats; the more people share the same goal, the better it is for everyone involved.

The “Lynx Cryptocurrency Installer” mines Lynx, securely confirms global transactions (yes, it’s a full node) --  and the best part? Anyone can set it up because it runs on a Raspberry Pi.

what's the purpose again of this coin? yes, you revived it from kittehcoin, but this one is for trading only from what i deduced? and the billion supply, this will be very cheap.

How did you solve the "creating something from nothing" dilemma?

and how much is pre-mined? and how much of the mined coins are in the hands of the people behind lynx?

[sunk818]

to me a macOS wallet is always a good sign for a cryptocurrency. A developer with any modicum of skill should be able to release a macOS GUI binary. So many shitcoins just give you a mega.nz download link for a Windows binary and that's it.

[sunk818]

If you wanted to be eco-friendly, why not Proof of Stake (PoS) or different algorithm like scryt-n, neoscrypt, or other ASIC-resistant algorithms? Kind of seems rigged at this point to have 1 LYNX mined when there was a hard fork from Kitteh where the mining reward scheme was completely different.

Who'd want to mine 1 LYNX at a time? Even if you mined all blocks in a day, 2880 blocks, even at $0.01 a LYNX, that's $28.80. The mining incentives are just all wrong and completely skewed towards someone who owned KittehCoins.

[mammothine]

as much as i would love to herd kittehs with raspberry pi's, i fear i must agree with the above assessment.

that being said, i am sure lots of users will run ur iso in the wild, if only to mine with a rpi. therefore i wish you the best of luck!

You should watch the interview from about a week or so ago. Dev team has more plans than just raspi mining for mining's sake. Not sure any of it will come true, but he's delivered everything promised so far.

Sun, The objective was to take the economics of the mining for profit concept and turn it on it's head. No one that mines this coin will make money (at least with the current valuations on the street). If the miner is interested in mining for profit, lots of of other coins are great candidates for this. The competition for more hashing power begins and an economically inefficient project unfolds. Our concept is to make it so easy for holders and interested parties to participate in this coin, and at such a low cost, that the barrier to entry would be the lowest that we could find in this space. Instead of feeding a few pigs in a sty, we are feeding bees in a hive. This provides a far more stable platform to build upon. This is the concept at least. It is often forgot in this space that no relationship exists between mining hash power and the ability for the average block time to be met - as long as the hashing power is somewhere between zero and infinity. For a long term sustainable emerging coin concept like ours, our bet is to be closer to zero then infinity. -ben

Total supply: 92 million
Launched 5 days, the current coin is 77 million?
What is that?

[sunk818]

Total supply: 92 million

What is that?

25 billion to 90 billion. The hard fork from kitteh coin (meow) means all previous owners of the coin got airdrop. So, I imagine 77/90 billion is same as previous circulating supply.

I reread reward so it seems reward is 1 lynx per Kb. So you cap it at 10. Got it.

Script allows asic miners. Is your structure enough to stop asic mining? Multi pool.us has 2gh/s. Your raspberry pi can't mine rewards, just distribute the block chain.

So you suggest we should buy on exchange as the way to get coins?

Can we buy hosting on your site with lynx?

[aL33CtWW]

"Can we buy hosting on your site with lynx?"

Ha, That is a great question and one that none of my customers have asked me yet. I suppose yes, you could! I'd be open to it. We have many customers that pay for a year in advance for 13 months of service. We provide that discount as a reward for the advance payment. IT is non-refundable though, but we have a great reputation and I'm happy to provide references. If this is of interest to you, let me know via DM. https://deliverypath.com

I'm a very old holder of MEOW (and thus LYNX) so I don't want to hurt this project in any way, but the very reason that there should be an economic incentive to mine a PoW coin and the reason why Bitcoin is a reward for mining in the first place is because by creating competition, you encourage decentralization and thus network stability.
Having no significant reward implies that nearly no one will mine this coin and you could have one entity with 90% of the network hashrate that could attack the network as he see fit. Even without evil intention, if a big miner just hop in and out, Digishield or not, the network could easily fork. Also, having a potential "official" miner with all the hashrate from the dev team isn't a solution as its the opposite of what cryptocurrencies are. The only true solution to be energy efficient is PoS.

As a comparison :
- Current BTC reward is 12.5 BTC every 10mn, or 1800 BTC per day.
  Current circulating supply is 16,873,100 and market cap is $178 billion.
  -> BTC mining is a $18 million market per day.
- Current LYNX reward is 1 LYNX every 30s, or 2880 LYNX per day.
  Current circulating supply is 77,871,394,926 and let's say its market cap will suddenly pump to $1 million (currently $200k).
  ->LYNX mining would be a $0.037 market per day.
Even if the LYNX market cap was equal to BTC, mining market would be a meager $6600 per day. Do you really believe BTC could have a stable network if the incentive to mine it would be this low ? It's the price of 3 Antminer S9.

This might appear unfortunate, but for PoW coins, network stability is only done through competition. If you do not want competition and simply reward MEOW owner, switching to PoS with a very low inflation rate makes much more sense.

The Lynx blockchain snapshot has been updated, and is available on CryptoChainer.com.  This will get your wallet in sync almost instantly, and is much nicer than syncing the whole chain from scratch.

Did anyone read this post from vaelrock below? When I read the 'environment-friendly' bullshit (sorry for calling it that way, but its the truth) from the OP, I wanted to post this, but vaelrock did it first. How the team is going to react? The reaction is extremely important and urgent to do before this coin is listed on any serious exchange.

As a result of the chosen PoW scheme, the Lynx chain is utterly unsecure!!! If someone doubts, I can rent some scrypt ASICs and easily do a 51% attack on the chain, with doublespends and all other nasty stuff - just to demonstrate this kind of PoW chains with virtually no reward is a no-go! The only reason this chain was not hi-jacked yet, it the absence of incentive - just because there is no exchange to sell it on!

Please switch to PoS or change the PoW scheme, as otherwise this project is doomed. There is a reason why BTC spends all that electricity. Or do you really think Satoshi was an idiot, whom you just proved wrong with your 'revolutionary' concept of no-profit PoW!?

I believe the devs are honest, bur lack some understanding of PoW concepts, thats why I raise this RED ALERT. This is not scam alert, but is a security alert and is equally important!

For the reasons - see the post right above yours ^^^

Or just let me guess - that is because of nobody mining this, because developers did everything by design to prevent the people from mining the coin...
Nobody mines == chain doesn't move forward.

That was regarding the "whats wrong part".
Regarding to "how to fix it" part: if you want your wallet to sync - start mining (but be prepared to get nothing in return).

[HotSwapp]

The biggest issue I see with this coin is the maturity, 7 days is pretty crazy! No one wants to mine and have to wait 7 days before a payout.

[konstant111]

It looks good, and whether there will be any system of encouragement, very much it would be desirable to have a little free coins

[drays]

The biggest issue I see with this coin is the maturity, 7 days is pretty crazy! No one wants to mine and have to wait 7 days before a payout.

Long maturity time is is not a problem at all, at least for a normal dedicated miner. It can cause problem only for a miner-dumper - coin-switching miner, who mine coins just to dump on the market immediately. Such miners are just parasites, who are not beneficial to any project, so it is safe to ignore them.

The real issue is - even after waiting those 7 days you will get virtually nothing. Compared to the supply, the mining reward is hilarious. Thus nobody mines. This is not the only coin with such problem. Been there, seen that.

[glenncoin]

The biggest issue I see with this coin is the maturity, 7 days is pretty crazy! No one wants to mine and have to wait 7 days before a payout.

What if there is a power interruption or lost of internet connection on the 5th day for example, will I have 2 days more for mining maturity or will I start over again from day 1 to 7th day for its maturity?

Second this.

Devs, please turn this coin into POW/POS hybrid or 100% POS, it will stay "eco-friendly" but be much more secure. Zero reward POW is not gonna work, look what happened to IFC, for example.

Since algo is scrypt, what about merged mining? You don't use any more that what is already being used for scrypt. doge is doing this with litecoin... there's no problem with hashing power there.

dev has this put energy into these rasp pi miners, so using low cpu method to mine is important. merged mining wouldn't help with that, but PoS could work. Again, that means only former kittehcoin owners benefit. Even if low reward stake, no one has any quantity other than previous MEOW coin owners. Or buy on exchange...

[mammothine]

Second this.

I think the reward system could work. Devs have clearly decided this isn’t mining for profit, but mining just enough to secure the network and earn enough to pay for your own transactions. I think, too, that there are other possibilities for the network down the line that may make us all think differently about mining for rewards, ie, if the ideas that will run on top of Lynx are good enough, there may be plenty of people willing to support the network for free, just to enjoy the benefits of greater returns in Lynx. Just a thought.

I don't agree with PoS variants cause I don't know any good imaplementation of PoS which could work fast while syncing after 1-2 millions of blocks, i.e. 1-2 years in the case of Lynx blocktime 30s.

I like idea of PoS very much if PoS is very low, but current implementations of PoS are very bad for longer term coins.

Possible implementation of the merged mining is good idea.

This I already wrote so you can comment:


"Lynx coins works very fast when you need syncing or resyncing. All my PoS coins are very slow at that jobs, totally uncomparable with the speed of Lynx. I think only one PoS coin which should consider is Peercoin which does not have problems with syncing speed. Novacoin or Blackcoin clones are very bad when coins is more than 1 or 2 year old, by my experience."


"I will test syncing all of this coins, maybe I will change my view: https://coinsutra.com/proof-of-stake-cryptocurrencies/ "


"First I tested PIVX coin. Syncing of the whole blockchain  lasted more than 4.5 h. Coin is old about 2 years.  Problem which will became extremely big (just like with the vast majority of PoS coins) is exponential growth of time needed to synchronize the blockchain. It means, first year was synchronized at 1 h,  but second year required almost 4 h to finish sinchronization. I think at the next years this coin will become just like the most of the other PoS coins where you have to wait big time, few hours or evan more time  to synchronize for example 1 last week or 1 last month of the newest blockchain data.
Also, PIVX has block time 60s, and Lynx has block time 30s. In the case of the introducing PoS and the same/similar way of the calculating PoS, Lynx could have big problem with the blockchain syncing after 1 or 2 years after the possible  PoS forking time which will escalate further with the time and the acceptance.
At the current state, Lynx syncing time is very fast. Similar coins which is reviving last months is Argentum which became similar to DigiByte (I think). Argentum's syncing is also very fast, a bit faster than Lynx cause of  block time 45s. In the recent forks, Argentum introduced  4 new algos: Lyra2re2 (GPU)
Myr-Groestl (GPU/ASIC)
Argon2d (CPU)
Yescrypt (CPU/GPU)   as addition to scrypt and sha256d. I think while mining each algo is used to mine one coin block after previous one which is mined by previous algo  from the algo serie.
Maybe this DigiByte/Argentum  multi-algo coin way  is better than introducing PoS. What do you think?"



"PoS implementations is very bad on every coins i tried, except (MAYBE) in Peercoin which has bigger block time than Lynx for example. Such coins are not suitable for regular and longer term use. For those coins with short blocktime like Lynx has, problems with the long time syncing startss even at its 1st year and despite its no wide acceptance. If this coin is short term game, then everything mentioned is not important."


Additional: PIVX is 2 years old coin, and now it has only 1 million blocks, and at this moment its PoS and masternodes implementation seems better than implementation at Novacoin or Blackcoin clones. But exponential growth of the syncing time is easy to notice by measuring synced blocks and passed time. At the current time and state this implementation is quite good.



I have more than 10 PoS coins, and all of them are very bad, very slow while resyncing after 1-2 millions of blocks. I think all of them are based on Novacoin or Blackcoin, and all of them have bad implementation while syncing (very slow, it depends on the current number of blocks in the blockchain) including Novacoin and Blackcoin.

Current implementation of Lynx is very fast, Lynx is one of the fastest coins while syncing or resyncing and I like that very much. By known PoS implementation it will be heavy ruined after quite short time, I think and would not like to check it.

Which coin have the best PoS implementation and don't have slow syncing or resyncing which getting worse exponentially by the time? (coin should be old more than 2 years, and coin should have more than 2 millions of  "PoS-ing blocks")

It means, Lynx browser is one of the first internet browsers (1992), and is still in development!!!

Btw, zoologists consider lynx as the biggest cat who can meow.

So, this coins will continue where its predecessor stopped.

There was a group on Discord. Now? Nothing. I've sent messages . No response. I have not had a reply to anything I've sent in 1 week. Don't care if they might be "BUSY" Working on this project.
 Any kind of response would have been good. SUPPOSED to be an AMA in 2 days...NO ANSWER. On twitter,facebook, etc. DISCORD CHANNEL GONE.
This is a scam. Sorry. The responses I Did Get on Discord? They told me nothing when they DID deign to reply. For a project that's supposed to be a reboot? No replies. Vague roadmap. Discord channel disappearing. No twitter reply.
Yup. Scam Alert!
I don't say that for any reason other than the facts presented to me. This is a reboot scam.
Have a Good Day.

I've been waiting for a link to show up in Discord that works. They have a "SUPPOSED" AMA Right now. Not working. I have tried MULTIPLE Times, Multiple ways to get some information on this coin. They had a discord 2 weeks ago. Then they didn't. No answer via Email, Twitter, Discord.
This is definitely a scam at this point. Don't waste your money or time. Until they reach out from their " Busy " Schedule, I'm not holding my breath. Save your money for a good coin.

I've tried both the discord addresses. Neither Work For me. AT ALL. I did have access to the Discord channel, but, it disappeared last week on me. Guess i ask too pointed of questions. Same ones i do about all the coins I have. The project is a good one. I was glad to see it revived. I like LTC based coins better than BTC or ETH, in most cases. I still have a few (million) left over from when it went dormant. Even bought another Rasberry Pi to continue the adventure.
And now? Frustration. And some guy telling me to stop trolling. i never trolled. I stated facts as I saw them.

And Thank You for replying. Maybe an invite next time. HA!

Press Release

CHARLOTTE, NC., June 18, 2018.
 
Lynx is an eco-friendly cryptocurrency that discourages mining for profit and runs on Raspberry Pi.

Lynx offers a solution to the environmentally unsustainable problem of profit-driven mining, because the code purposefully lacks incentives to mine it for profit. In addition, the entire LYNX network is designed to operate on a collaboration of low power devices (like the Raspberry Pi) that result in a global cost of only dollars a day; this includes mining the coin and confirming transactions. The emphasis on low-cost computing creates a decentralized, broad miner base that strengthens the stability of the cryptocurrency. In addition, to reinforce Lynx’s security, the core team is finalizing development on a modification that makes Lynx immune to a 51% attack.

According to Ben Wilson, the lead developer with over twenty-five years of software development experience, “I love solving problems and current research confirms the energy requirement associated with Proof of Work is a problem. I wanted to create a cryptocurrency that moves in the other direction; toward a carbon neutral footprint. We’re not there yet but we’re close. And the best part is that even non-techies can mine Lynx, so it’s environmentally sustainable and it’s inclusive to anyone who wants to support the project.”

Lynx was designed to have minimal environmental impact because it’s committed to creating global solutions and maintaining a small carbon footprint. The goal is to attract a broad range of collaborators who will directly benefit from the equitable and sustainable approach.

It won't be too long I think until we finally have full stack decentralized exchanges for all coins and tokens. Some larger centralized exchanges are working on solutions.

[sunk818]

2.63M is almost here. After that, Lynx will go from scrypt PoW to scrypt Hybrid PoW. Lynx will be very energy efficient from that point on and can be used by even ARM (Rasp Pi) computers to mine Lynx.

[sunk818]

ECO-FRIENDLY CRYPTOCURRENCY

Bitcoin's business rules and energy requirements create an over-reliance on fossil fuels;
Lynx does the opposite and strives to solve this problem. For cryptocurrency to be considered a
secure platform for exchange in today's global marketplace, it must be created with global
sustainability in mind.

GLOBALLY SUSTAINABLE NETWORK

Unlike Bitcoin, the Lynx code discourages high-volume mining rigs because the code
purposefully lacks incentives to mine it for profit. As a result, the entire Lynx network is
designed to operate on a collaboration of low power devices that anyone can run, resulting in
a collective global mining cost of only dollars a day.

Lynx is 'CRYPTOCURRENCY WITHOUT THE CLIMATE CHANGE'

LYNX: Hybrid Proof of Work
~ A Medium Article ~

Hey all you LYNX cats! If you don't know me yet I'm a developer on this wonderful project and the official Discord server admin. Now that we have started our amazing journey on the new Hybrid Proof of Work I have written this Medium article to help explain and break down the new rules and their benefits. I hope this helps some people better understand how the Lynx HPOW protocol works!

Link: https://medium.com/@auscoine/lynx-hybrid-proof-of-work-760ae1b6ad81

On February 16th, 2019 (at block 2,630,000) a modified work protocol for mining cryptocurrency was born via the LYNX blockchain. This new configuration hybridizes the features of both the Proof of Work and Proof of Stake models through a unique set of principles that more closely resemble the original intentions of cryptocurrency.

Please help us out and give the article some clap love and be sure to spread this around to your various social medias and outlets! We'd really like to get the word out about these new work rules and how Lynx is very quickly becoming the democratized, eco-friendly platform it was always planned to be!

Also join us on our official Discord channel --- https://discord.gg/yTfCs5J --- where you can chat with myself and Lynx creator Ben Wilson, as well as various other devs and community members to help you better understand our project and get you on board easily!

the Lynx HPOW protocol

maybe on of the more interesting things to have arrived in 2019

Solid project under the general mass radar!

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/lynx/

But listed and visable for the keen eyes.

[sunk818]

Block 2.68M is fast approaching where Rule 2 of HPoW will activate? What does this mean? Whatever address you are mining must have at least 1,000 LYNX in order to qualify for mining a block. Right now, that rule is not active.

Considering liquidation of Cryptopia... is there any exchange active now? Besides MeanXtrade?

Will you guys go for free listing on NovaExchange? 

https://novaexchange.com/news/

5 more days to apply.

Last I heard, Ben (the lead dev) was communicating with NovaExchange.

I just checked and there seems to be some trading pairs for LYNX:

LYNX/DOGE, LYNX/LTC, LYNX/MOON



Remember, altilly.com also has many pairs with LYNX.

NovaExchange is not open to USA nor Canada residents.

Altilly is friendly to USA customers.

good new for lynx/meow
but did someone know if we will be able to swap old meow holded on novaexchange to new lynx?

Unfortunately the swap period is far past so I do not think so unless there is anything I am missing. Also on great news. LYNX is getting a re-design in many ways and new marketing so stay tuned for updated ANN on Bitcoin Talk as well as potentially a new website very soon and many big announcements.

LYNX is listed at these 2 exchanges currently:

https://novaexchange.com/market/LTC_LYNX/
https://www.altilly.com/market/LYNX_LTC

I have been a long-term LYNX supporter and holder. I believe this project is building something viable and world-changing!

[aL33CtWW]

Checking in. The current list of exchanges was updated on the primary post of this thread. I'll try to keep it updated going forward. Seems to be more exchange interest as a result of some community members working their networks for us. Thanks guys. -ben

[aL33CtWW]

I'm pleased to announce Lynx has been added to a new exchange - https://enmanet.com

https://enmanet.com/market/BTC-LYNX

While it is a BTC market, we are excited to be able to offer more options for our Lynx community.

I don't know of another project like it.
1. Old 2015 POW distro.  Founder is well known SYS.
2. (We fixed Kittehcoin!) Updated to a hybrid, requires a little hash, but can't get 51% hacked.
3. Cheap.
4. Inflation is null. ZERO.  Okay 1 LYNX.  But spot the circulation supply and do the math.  
5. Up-to-date client.  Which is nice.
6. Starting to trade.

Guys!
What Lynx are you talking about?
Look at the topic -  Lynx (We fixed Kittehcoin!)
By the way I think 20 lat is a fine level to rebuy Lynx!

[miner987]

Is there any exchange for this? 

Anyone alive?

[crackfoo]

is mining disabled for this? blocks not being accepted despite having more then needed into mining address...

[four3200]

You can mine it.  But it looks like 500+ nodes are mining and getting rewards.  THUS even the leaders are earning less than 2 blocks per 1000.  So LYNX is perhaps the most distributed POW or even POS network.

[Tarz]

Mining is still active but I see it as an elaborate attempt to distract ppl from real problems. The causative reason of development suspension is of course the lassitude of the team. They have aborted the changes proposed without much explanation. That is a cowards move nobody could expect. And they also siloed the guys who loved to be part of this coin from the rest of the community, this way accelerating their grief of being unloved.

Greetings everyone, I'm the Lynx Blockchain community admin here with some official updates for those of you seeking them:


THE STATE OF LYNX IN 2021
Overall we are doing pretty great! We have suffered a few setbacks from third party exchanges and multi-wallets recently which I will outline below but first I'd like to let you know where the project is at and how to get more involved! The core wallet has had a huge overhaul making it even more stable and efficient to run on low powered devices. There's a real world working business built on top of Lynx you may not be aware of. We even have a new exchange listing and a brand new method of collecting your mining rewards which is more fun and profitable than previous methods!

LYNX CAN MINE FROM A RASPBERRY PI
Lynx was specifically designed to be run entirely on a network of simple Raspberry Pi type low powered devices for very little profit. This concept is meant to turn the idea of mining for huge gains on its head so that the network is only supported by those interested in doing so. This forms a very stable base of nodes and keeps our network nice and healthy. Best of all, using our super convenient LynxCI "cryptocurrency installer" script your VPS node or Raspberry Pi could be set up, synced, and mining within 15 minutes! No joke, we have greatly streamlined the process to make Lynx the easiest and most affordable coin network to support! We have taken our potential impact on the environment very seriously since day one which is why low-powered devices that run for pennies a day can support the entire Lynx network.

LOGWARE DATA STORAGE LAYER
The creator of Lynx, Ben, has developed a working business model on top of the chain that makes it incredibly easy for clients to store data on the blockchain. It's known as Logware and it is an API service that provides customers ease of use, transparency, speed, and security of their data. As it relates to Lynx, a small amount of actual Lynx is required and burned (sent to an non-spendable address) per transaction created by the Logware system. The more kilobytes of data, the more transactions it is split up among. This creates a natural buy demand as more clients come on board, more data is stored, more transactions are made, and more Lynx is required to make the system operate! Burning these Lynx has a side benefit of slowly deflating the supply over time which also contributes to a more desirable supply/demand ratio in the long run.

This technology truly has unlimited potential it only requires a clever need for transparent immutable small-data storage. The more uses for Logware that arise, the more Lynx will be bought and burned. If you would like to read more about Logware I encourage you to visit their site at https://logware.io. You can also visit the LYNX Discord server (linked below) for a live free demo of Logware using a bot I personally wrote. Just literally pop in and say the word "logware" and the bot will message you with more.

TIPSY-LYNX MINING
Speaking of bots, we have another very clever bot in the server named Tipsy (also my design) which holds so many important roles. Not only is it a working wallet which you can deposit, tip, and rain with like most crypto bots but it also features a high score system with levels and ranks, community activities, and just recently has been plugged into the latest wallet release in an effort to spur new mining activity. Our new TipsyLynx mining method, funded by Logware and community rains, pays out double the traditional mining rewards and allows you access to your funds immediately! It also has a built in lottery system to possibly win even MORE Lynx (up to just over a million) per block win. It is also the first convenience service in history that actually costs you less to use while bringing you more profit than mining alone! On top of that it's very very friendly and easy to set up, just come to our Discord and see for yourselves!

COINOMI DROPPED US
Now for the not so great news. We had paid quite a fee to be listed on the multi-wallet service Coinomi and that all seemed to be going swimmingly until one day they decided "screw all the little guys" and kicked us and many others off of their platform with very little notice. Fortunately because they are a BIP39 style wallet with a seed phrase, you can recover your potentially lost Lynx keys using Coinomi's own recovery tool. Seriously though, what bastards they are. We PAID to be listed! No refund.

ALTILLY WAS HACKED
Another bit of bad luck lately the largest exchange where we were listed, Altilly, was apparently "hacked" however that truly remains to be seen in my opinion. Unfortunately LYNX is listed on their "not saved" list of cryptos so the future of any funds held there is uncertain. I personally lost about 40 million Lynx myself on that takedown so I feel for anyone else who did too. Another hard lesson in not keeping your funds on a live exchange for too long!

WE ARE LISTED ON FREI EXCHANGE
But don't give up hope yet! We are now also listed on Frei Exchange with a LYNX/BTC market. While we do have steady buys daily with some big splashes once in a while, the average volume is a bit low due to most of our community being hit hard by the recent Altilly exchange hack but it is slowly increasing and we would like to make sure everyone knows where to buy so we can drive traffic there and get things kickstarted again. Frei is a solid little exchange that has been around for a good while with a good rep and no KYC or any mess to deal with. I've personally used them and have not really had any major issues yet and from what I hear they are very responsive to contacting them.

Check out the market --> https://freiexchange.com/market/LYNX/BTC


So that about wraps up the recap. I know it was long but hey you made it all this way! I'm proud of you


WHERE TO FIND US
We would love to chat more with you about all of this and while Bitcointalk is a wonderful starting point to FIND our project, our main method of community-to-team interaction is through our official Discord server which you can find right here --> https://discord.gg/yTfCs5J <-- so please join us there today!

In fact, this coming Sunday (March 28) we are having a live Q&A session with myself and Ben Wilson, creator of Lynx, to answer all of your questions on Lynx, Logware, Tipsy, and the future path of this project. Join our Discord server's audio channel this Sunday at 7pm EST (11pm UTC) to tune in! I also plan to rain a bunch of free Lynx on active listeners throughout the evening so come get paid to learn about us haha! We'll try to keep it entertaining

After the huge success of doge, is nobody from the devs tempted to revive kittehcoin from the grave?

[sunk818]

Its been revived in the form Lynx. I appreciate their mining algorithm that allows Proof of Work but have special rules to make it energy efficient. Bitcoin mining with energy usage as a form of security, is not scalable nor environmental. The ability for individuals to participate in maintaining the blockchain is truly decentralized as opposed to all those Bitcoin mining pools.

still stand by this evaluation?

[coinman76]

Just in case any of you here expect a refund from Altilly. If you don't have all their deposit confirmation emails, they give you nothing. That's a scam.

Lynx is a coin marred by the corruption. Crook coin and should be avoided, at any cost. I can hear the deprecatory tone of the bearers blaming the team in screwing up the launch and that team will be taking everything down in the coming days. The reason might be that no eminent people are on the team, only unknown fake sobriquets meaning nothing.
