I pulled it out of the Wayback Machine, seems legit from here but I can't test it, use at your own risk.

The download links are at https://agacoin.github.io and yes, for now they link to Wayback Machine, until such time the project can find a new dev and release an updated wallet.

I should have pointed to that page of course

I'm not seeing an explorer at that address. Please let us know if you get it up and running! A good explorer is needed

That's really a bad thing to play with geek nostalgy!

The Amiga was and is still very popular in New Zealand, which I think is the home of Cryptopia. I would not be surprised if the founder of that exchange has a fondness for the concept of AGA/Amigacoin

Lets hope that AGA can get some actual new developments, and eventually to serve as a benefit to the Amiga community.

http://explorer.agacoin.dk:3003 now points to this explorer. Iquidus is a good explorer but I prefer the dark theme myself

Thanks for getting this explorer up and running! Please make sure to put a donation address somewhere (on the explorer site itself perhaps?)

Do you know why the Coin Supply appears to be incorrect? Perhaps it has something to do with AGA's random block rewards. It would be great if that could be fixed if possible. At the moment it is showing Coin Supply (AGA) = 45,690,060... yet this is clearly not correct if we look at the "top 100".

If we can get an explorer showing the correct total Coin Supply then we can try to list on coinmarketcap.com, for what that's worth. Though maybe it will be better to know if we are going to find a new wallet developer before doing that

Hello. I bought Amiga Coins on Cryptopia and I have some questions.

1. How can I redeem AGA Paper Wallets?

2. The Desktop Wallt for Windows is infected by a virus, where can I get a clean version?

3. Would a wallet on a real Amiga (OS 3x) possible or even in planning?

1. How can I redeem AGA Paper Wallets?

Hi. As with the Bitcoin API, private keys can be imported into the main client using debug console command:

importprivkey <private key>

2. The Desktop Wallt for Windows is infected by a virus, where can I get a clean version?

Unfortunately we are stuck with the last version of the wallet the original developer left us with until we find a new developer to work on a updating the wallet. The version linked to at http://agacoin.github.io is the same one the community has been using for several years. I think/hope the virus warnings are false positives, and are raised because the wallet contains the necessary code to mine (which is often a sign of a virus, but expected in this case). However, as with almost all software distributed in the coin space you should probably play it safe by running in a separate computer or virtual machine like virtualbox.

3. Would a wallet on a real Amiga (OS 3x) possible or even in planning?

It is almost impossible that a full wallet could ever run on a 68K Amiga but maybe a light wallet or browser-based wallet will be possible. This is the kind of thing the community will need to work out once the question of a new modern wallet upgrade has been answered. Personally I don't think it's so important that the wallet run on vintage hardware, as that the coin can be put to work to benefit and use by the Amiga community.

Getting anywhere may take some patience. I think the main hope for now is to find a competent developer who is able to help release a new wallet, including a switch to a new mining algo (maybe combined with Proof-of-Stake). Once we have an updated wallet, I hope we can begin a distribution/giveaway program for the Amiga community and other initiatives that will help the future take shape.

ps: As it's just a few of us who have decided to keep the coin going when the original developer left, getting anywhere may take some patience. Thoughts are always welcome!

Thank you

I would like to try the German Amiga Community for the AmigaCoins to inspire, unfortunately, the people in Germany are very suspicious of cryptocurrencies, they just do not want to know about it.
A simple program for the Amiga, which can manage wallets, would be something very nice. To pay in and pay out with the help of a QR code. That would make things very attractive and users could easily pay each other with it. An Amiga would be a safe wallet because he is not connected to the internet. that would not be easy to programming for the Amiga, but possible (?).

But the Windows software is still supported? when could you expect an update?

The Amiga following in Germany is huge. But, I don't think the AGAcoin is ready to approach the Amiga community until we find a new wallet developer, and release new wallet software. Please understand that the original developer has left this project, and we are here trying to resurrect it, if we can. That's why we have set up the new website at https://agacoin.github.io (which anyone can edit on GitHub).

A simple program for the Amiga, which can manage wallets, would be something very nice. To pay in and pay out with the help of a QR code. That would make things very attractive and users could easily pay each other with it. An Amiga would be a safe wallet because he is not connected to the internet. that would not be easy to programming for the Amiga, but possible (?).

That would be great but a wallet manager would be very limited if it did not have connection to the internet. For example, it would not know the coin balance of any address. But maybe some kind of offline transaction signing utility is possible, or a web-connected wallet (for Amigas that DO have access to the internet).

The original AGA developer had worked on aminer, single-threaded CPU miner for mining AGA in AROS (Amiga based OS), which is a nice idea but not a competitive way to mine coins when they can also be mined better by Windows/Linux.

The Amiga community is developing new things all the time, like new Amiga-based OS for Arm and X86, as well as accelerator for 68K Amigas, and things like this may allow more ideas for working with real and modern Amiga in future.

But the Windows software is still supported? when could you expect an update?

I can't guess when there may be an update. The latest windows software is not "supported" but it's all we have for now and the blockchain keeps going. We need to find a coder who can update the wallet software to a new codebase and mining alorithm.
