Starcoin Cryptsy comment in email on removal clarification

Hello All,

here a comment from Cryptsy to the Starcoin removal issue 09/25/13:

Question:

BitJohn,

do you know what issues that are specific? as i say i am curious cause i don't see any problems after 1.5 update thus far. should i stop mining?

Answer:

I know they never fixed the main issue with the coin just updated checkpoints. It keeps getting frozen due to forking reversals. IT is based on the same code as the original CAPs code so without adding all the fixes CAP's did I don't think it will ever be correct.

BitJohn,

I see all the self-forking fixes from CAP are in Starcoin's latest 1.5 code. It was committed in github and released as version 1.5 10 days ago.

https://github.com/starcoinproject/starcoin/commit/a0ccb99023d326d79a928af940b58c4ce0800e8a

Can you be specific what fix is not in?

Also the dev of the STR seems unaware of any issues. Cryptsy disabled the trading without communicating to the dev for issues, is it an oversight?

i had some starcoins on deposit but worth so little i am not too worried.
