1. We do NOT have a working Windows wallet of the new fork.
We have a working wallet for the fork that should be kept.
I guess we should pick the fork that won't harm the early investors.
AFAIR they are on the old fork, aren't they?
I'm confused, are you saying we have a working wallet that will sync for the new fork? If the wallet doesn't sync it is useless.
Also, early investors don't care which fork is chosen because ALL COINS MINED BEFORE BLOCK 120,000 ARE VALID COINS!
No matter what fork we pick all coins mined before block 120,000 will remain in existence.
I will lose more coins if we keep the old fork. However if we go with the new fork we might as well just delete our wallet.bat file and give up.
