UPDATE APRIL 5: we've patched KGW and a hard fork will occur at block 116500, which is 8 hours away Update your client, hard fork imminent.

UPDATE March 11: Kimoto Gravity Well Time Warp Derp Derp QUACK
KGW time warp expoit has been patched. Update your clients.
UPDATE March 3: Mac & Linux Wallets Released, Genesis Egg Topped Up
Do you remember those investments that we made ~last week? Ducks have a 360 degree vision, but in hindsight mainduck was on quack. 48 BTC was sent to bitcoinbuilder.com to get about 90 MtGox bitoins to do EVEN MOAR market support. The goal noble, we wanted to increase the Genesis Egg Funds.
What actually happened though was that it severely decreased IPO funds, as we all know last week mtgox was tarred & feathered. Operation MaxCoin was a success, Operation PandaCoin was not as the developers dumped all of their coins on the IPO investors, so those trades cancelled each other out.
Before you ruffle your feathers, check the Exoducks address, we've since replaced the goxxed Genesis Egg with BTC from personal wallets, all of which will be used to provide liquidity at the exchanges & pay for bounties.
The Mac & Linux wallets are built and working, they will be posted soon.
UPDATE Feb 20: BTC Bounties have been paid and some Investments have been made. There's a ~2 week play to position some large investors groups into DuckDuckCoin, this plan of quacktion is in motion, and in 2 weeks you will all think mainduck was either a genius or a complete idiot.
UPDATE Feb 15: Operation MaxCoin Pump & PandaCoin Blitz has been stealing our thunder. Duck Commander has acquired a large share of Maxcoins and a large share of PandaCoins.
-We are waiting for the buzz to subside slightly, then the Flying V will push forward with next weeks plan from the Quack Ops team.
-Ducks of a feather flock together, we've been organizing the community. If you want bounties or if you are a late adopter looking to get involved, contquackt us. If not you can flock off to another pond.

UPDATE FEB 10: The Big Quack Happened and The Faberge Egg Was Stolen! Updates on the breaking story of the Best Failed Premine In History.(
read this post for a more detailed developer recap.)
Monday Feb 10 2014 @ 9:25 PM EST THE GENESIS EGG HAS BEEN STOLEN-Offering a 10 BTC reward to be sent to Sean's Outpost if the 24.2 DUCK is safely returned to the nest.
-Some clever fox snuck into the roost while the ducks were asleep and walked away with the golden egg.
~~~~~~
UPDATE 11:59 PM EST - The Genesis Egg Bandit contacted us! He tried to extort bitcoins and DUCK in exchange for the safe return of said Genesis Egg. After a negotiation, the bandit did not want to part with the premine.-Pool owners need to contact us please so we can get synced up on the plan of quaction. ScryptoMiners, please contact us on irc.freenode.net #duckduckcoin - source has been taken down for relaunch now that the Genesis Egg Pickpocket refuses to return it to the nest.
~~~~~~
UPDATE 1:25 AM EST - A DEAL HAS BEEN REACHED. After considering a hostile blockchain takeover or a relaunch, we decided to go back to the negotiating table with the Premine Pirate.-We considered a hostile blockchain takeover with our own 51% attack or a re-launch tomorrow, but all of the duck hunters and pond operators would have lost their DUCK that they were mining while we were negotiating with the Premine Pirate. We negotiated a peaceful transfer of the genesis egg to the master nest.
-We are URGENTLY working on a block explorer to analyze that the mastermind behind the heist didn't do anything else nefarious.
~~~~~~
UPDATE 3:25 AM EST - We are good to go. The transquacktions have been verified, the Crypto Catburglar did not inject any more transquacktions into the blockchain.-altexplorer.net built us a blockchain explorer so we could verify the integrity of the blockchain. All of our ducks are in a row. Source and wallets going back up. Even though we had to pay a ransom to the Premine Pirate, we donated 5 BTC on behalf of the DUCK community for a successful resolution to this hostage situation.
