Hmm... I opened up the glorious skidood terminal today and "getinfo" output:
"
{
"version" : 100101,
"protocolversion" : ...
...
...
unlocked_until" : 0,
"paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
"relayfee" : 0.00001000
"errors" : "Warning: This version is obsolete, upgrade required!"}"
Also,
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/chao/#!network lists the network clients in the past 24 hours as follows:

If I understand, Infernoman's build is 0.11 ?? Does that version also take into account Vlad9Vlad's work to ensure it's not corrupt and rife with trojans or other malware?
For a superficial, aesthetic question: if I someday get the gui compiled in my Linux distro will it not look like that of Hagbard Celine's post #9 on this thread? If not ***that's too bad
as that wallet is phenomenal-looking IMO **.
I'd conjecturing that the merge-mining capability should help make this coin more robust by drawing more entrants into mining this -- which should also justify (in a recursive/feedback-loop sorta way) the high prices as it is far rarer than other coins from circa 2014 e.v. Regarding the robustness, I stumbled across something a few days back about the futurist/Extropian/Satoshi-Nakamoto-correspondent (or an alias of SN?) Hal Finney opining:
>In late 2010, he discussed the relationship between the profitability of the process and the overall health of the network. He argued for a healthy balance to
> ensure that network participants remain as concerned about security as they are about making money
> ...
> In January 2011, he offered additional thoughts on the topic, suggesting that the cost of bitcoin mining should be somewhat prohibitive.
> He voiced concern that a wealthy mining operation could theoretically take over the network, and pointed to the expenses associated with
> mining as a positive element of the process. Finney noted:
> “Ultimately it's good for the network for mining to be expensive. It makes it that much harder for a well financed attacker to dominate the network.”

So, to save the CHAO I've socked away (bought off Cryptopia the last few months) as I expect I will move away from vrsn 0.10.1.1: would the following link be roughly the process I'd want to do (hopefully it's fool-proof because I don't want to goof it up):
https://cryptocurrencytalk.com/topic/2023-quick-guide-how-to-rebuild-a-qt-wallet-if-you-lost-your-coins/ ??
(i.e. backup wallet.dat [unencrypt it first I guess?? as I use the passphrase feature on all coins] do the dumpprivkey stuff that link describes, and then go ahead and git clone infernoman's source, check the hash and try to compile it (hopefully with a GUI/QT , crossing my fingers that it looks as slick and distinctive as Hagbard Celine's post showed) and hope I still have access to my Chao-horde. I'm probably going to park some coins at Cryptohub (but perhaps not the full chunk).
Also, as my client is running off the terminal only, would there be any other changes I would want to make in the directory that contains:
blocks database debug.log peers.dat skidoo.pid
chainstate db.log fee_estimates.dat skidoo.conf wallet.dat ?
Aside from saving a backup copy of the files in that directory -- except maybe "blocks" as I think that's the unpruned-blockchain. I'd allow the new installation to rebuild it's own version of it (the .skidoo directory in Unix's nomenclature) and then somehow get it aligned with my backup wallet (I think this is possibly the reindexing that people were referring to? More likely it's the dumpprivkey from the walkthrough site that I just mentioned)
Any constructive suggestions or insight by someone more adept at this would be appreciated.
Much of the discussion earlier in this thread regarding the reindexing and AUXPOW is beyond my knowledge or experience at this time (I need kind of a dumbed-down walkthrough at this point).
@mathi usted problamente necesita mover los coins a otro wallet o es possible que estaran en limbo/hostage en el intercambio.
