[AC] AsiaCoin | Pure PoS | 100% Interest

[bittcoinn]

Hi there
I've downloaded the latest wallet version 2.2.1 en did exactly as described in the post on page 182 but my wallet can't synchronize bcs there are no active connections to Asiacoin network.
How can I fix this ?

description of problem too vague

could be for instance
1.firewall blocks Asiacoin ( this is most likely )
2.internet connection or router port forwarding blocked
   ( this is unlikely as Asiacoin should work OK even with port 35656 blocked by a internet provider - unlike Bitcoin core and some other bitcoin wallets having big problems when 8333 port is blocked
   or not forwarded properly )

more details needed ( firewall type, internet connection type, router type and so on )

The good thing about Asians is that if they don't like the Poppycock then you can always Enola Gay them.

Wondering if this coin was created for the Asian market, but why is it not on the exchangers BTC38 and Jubi?
it's more like a game who gets more attention using Asian terms

None of this helped so I did it all over again: deleted everything in AppData/Roaming/Asiacoin folder except the wallet.dat file. Then I put wallet version 2.2.1 in the same folder and run the file. Wallet synchronized well this time but I LOST most of my coins . Before this  I got about 167000 coins and now after syncing with this new version I only have about 29000.
And the strange thing is that most of my previous incoming transactions are still showing as confirmed, but these coins somehow disappeared from my wallet.
How can this be? What to do to get my coins back?

this is very strange situation
there is one really important question - without this answer is impossible to seek any solutions
the question is : which quantity of coins shows in your wallet Asiacoin explorer:  chainz.cryptoid.info/ac

bittcoinn, thanx for the link I checked the balance. Here are the results ( I have used only these 4 addresses for receiving the coins)

1.   AbymkD2eJGr4ShEXNiMotMG2MTezmkYPja ( balance is 31,600.402367 AC )
2.   ANQaNAZ71k9Htg3ptCzs94QQ5F5zQ9dL6f  (balance is 73,770.761951 AC)
3.   ARVwW9oaghCCPPdQsDo53cZHng3tquw2Zq (balance is 52,284.727943 AC)
4.   ATgs3c461RYQ68vUCg5Gw7MdjpyQxJTGVK ( balance is 9,566.670197 AC)

Total balance should be around 167200 AC as I mentioned before. But the wallet shows now a balance of 29063.535378 AC ( with synced wallet)


As you also can see in the blockchain explorer the last stake coins i received on 18-07-2014 en 19-07-2014. After these dates I didn't open my Asiacoin wallet. So in december of this year, after more than a year,  I opened the wallet with the old Asiacoin version ( without knowing that there is a new wallet available).
The wallet started syncing and I started to get stake coins which reached a total amount of about 300.000 AC. I thought this the 100% PoS stake coins which I should be getting over the year, but the synchronizing never got completed ( stopped at around 68%). At this point I started to look if there was a new wallet available and I found it in this thread.
After installing the new 2.2.1 version of the wallet and deleting all the other files ( except the wallet.dat) in AppData/Roaming/Asiacoin folder I'm left with the total of 29063 AC.
So its really strange that explorer shows my 167200 AC but the wallet itself doesn't. I hope this background info can help you to figure out what happened to my coins.

And one more question: shouldn't I be getting stake coins for the time I left the coins in wallet untouched?

[HarryPorter]

Wonder how many coins (wallets) lost for good.

[barean]

my wallet does not stake for more than 6 months: any chance to make it staking again? v2.2.1 and fully sync-unlocked!

Asiacoin exchanges status

Cryptsy.com : withdrawals blocked for now.
Cryptsy has for sure huge number of Asiacoin on their wallets.
Not clear when withdrawals will be open again
quite possible that client's Asiacoin will be MINTPALED
on this thread below it is documented, that almost all coin withdrawals are stopped on Cryptsy including BTC
some days ago dogecoin withdrawals worked and dogecoin price on Cryptsy was 30% higher
now dogecoin is possibly stuck too
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1173703.new#new
and cryptsy.com is thrown out from coinmarketcap.com 59 hours ago

not updated since 59 hours and cryptsy ''volumes'' are not counted anymore

bter.com : withdrawals blocked since June 2015
most likely BTER does not have any Asiacoin on their wallets
asiacoins listed on BTER possibly would be never bought back by BTER

cryptopia.co.nz - Asiacoin withdrawals open



EDIT : Jan 9, 22:27 UTC: possibly withdraws working for some for DOGE and ETH ;
                                   it's why prices pf DOGE and ETH skyrocketed on Cryptsy

  from this thread - someone's story on Cryptsy
Alstroph
23h•15
Big fucking surprise. I purchased some cryptocurrency on Cryptsy, from here on out we will refer to it as XCoin.
XCoin was about 70% lower on Cryptsy when compared to other exchanges, so I purchased about $200 dollars worth. I then tried transferring about $1 worth out of my Cryptsy wallet into the main XCoin wallet. Never came, through some research I found out that XCoin had recently forked and Cryptsy had failed to update.
I bugged Cryptsy, eventually one of the admins told me that they did not know how to contact the XCoin devs. No problem, I knew how to do that. I put the two in contact with each other. Through this process I also landed a position working for XCoin.
I spent the next 2 months TIRELESSLY working with Cryptsy and XCoin to help exchange old coins for new coins. Near the end of this process we discovered that Cryptsy was under-allocated by about $10,000, meaning Cryptsy owed it's users $20,000 but they only had $10,000 worth of valid coins.
What happened? After pulling their fucking teeth out I was able to get Cryptsy to agree to the exchange HOURS before the deadline. Let's note that I was in the middle of this transaction and could have intercepted it with ease, but I trusted Cryptsy at this time.
So after the transaction what happens? Nothing. They pocketed the $10k, left the old worthless version of XCoin to die on the market. The Cryptsy users were screwed out of $20k while Cryptsy was $10k richer. They took no responsibility and blamed XCoin for the problems.
Not to mention I lost $200 and 2 months of time dealing with their bullshit. Fuck Cryptsy.

Asiacoin withdrawals at Cryptsy blocked persistently since Jan 8

on this thread

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1173703.new#new

there are speculations that:

1.some kind of court order blocked cold wallets

2.in the case of Cryptsy bankruptcy, depositors funds ( coins ) will be taken by creditors

3.wallet manager Mullick disappeared over two months ago, and over 80 wallets are in maintenance


Cryptsy support replies with one single formula :


Currently we are experiencing problems with our withdrawal system.
If you place a withdrawal for BTC LTC DASH BTCD and a few other coins, you may experience delays.

You will receive notice once we have resolved this problem

If you would like to cancel a withdrawal, please create a "new" ticket and choose "Cancel Withdrawal"
from the ticket type.

We appreciate your patience while we resolve these issues.


Sincerely,
Cryptsy Customer Service

the website looks clean of malware. it _does_ load javascript from Zopim for "Live Chat" that i havent seems suspicious, but i dont see anyting directly bad in there. So at least just visiting the sit should be reasonably safe. Also, virustotal reports it as clean as well.

Why has Bitcoin failed - Mike Hearn

https://medium.com/@octskyward/the-resolution-of-the-bitcoin-experiment-dabb30201f7#.406n35fcr

The fundamentals are broken and whatever happens to the price in the short term, the long term trend should probably be downwards. I will no longer be taking part in Bitcoin development and have sold all my coins.
the network is on the brink of technical collapse. The mechanisms that should have prevented this outcome have broken down, and as a result there’s no longer much reason to think Bitcoin can actually be better than the existing financial system.
If you had never heard about Bitcoin before, would you care about a payments network that:
Couldn’t move your existing money
Had wildly unpredictable fees that were high and rising fast
Allowed buyers to take back payments they’d made after walking out of shops, by simply pressing a button (if you aren’t aware of this “feature” that’s because Bitcoin was only just changed to allow it)
Is suffering large backlogs and flaky payments
… which is controlled by China
… and in which the companies and people building it were in open civil war?

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/40lwsq/the_rand_corporation_report_national_security/
Therefore, the RAND report suggests pre-emptive strikes and notes that “perhaps the best strategy for the United States and its allies to thwart a VC deployment would be to target those properties of a VC that would most increase its acceptance, most notably transaction anonymity, security, and availability.”
The report suggests that the U.S. Department of Defense should disrupt decentralized digital currencies to prevent “unprecedented global access to information and communication services that, at its core, is agnostic to the national security interests of the United States.”

Sadly true.

So what recommendations do you have to minimize the risk of someone stealing your coins besides(HD wallets, Paper wallets & storing your coins on a PC that has is offline)?

some fresh idea to exclude stolen coins from cryptsy

Hi All,
I would suggest that ALL coins would make a version 2. Why? Cryptsy is holding a lot of small coins, KARMA, LOT, MOON, LEAF, ....
maybe they have a supply of 80% of all the outstanding coins, so we should all make KARMA2, LOT2, MOON2, LEAF2,... type of coins and swap the coins that aren't on cryptsy.
This will mean Cryptsy wouldn't be able to dump their coins on other markets and make another few millions and it can give the current owners of those coins maybe some money back if they were able to withdraw at least a few coins...
Cryptsy is down, so who knows how much coins you have... the best idea would be that everybody could take a screenshot for their stake, but with a exchange down.... in fact i already suggested that weeks ago on the KARM and MOON thread to make a new coin because everybody knew that there were big problems with withdraws... There isn't any perfect solution... only that cryptsy is back and is 100% ôperational, then there is no need for doing this type of actions, but now... do you want to continue trading other coins when you know that Cryptsy will be able to dump their stake on Bittrex, C-CEX, and other exchanges...
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1330315.new#new

actually not clear if this idea would block stolen Asiacoin from cryptsy
explorer chainz.cryptoid.info/ac does not know which wallets are cryptsy



my opinion of BTC range in foreseeable future ( assuming no drastic changes in global economy )
putting my opinion to benefit readers, who already could profit 50% in 10 days by following exactly my tip two month ago
btc range : expect to be usd 225 to 680
quite safe strategy would be to buy under 300 and sell over 430
there is some risk of dramatic dumping by major players below 225 on some unknown major negative news - and percentagewise this risk of major negative news is difficult to estimate
in my opinion: no chance to go over 680 ( without major change of type of : weimar 1923 type hyperinflation or world economy crash much worse than 2008 )
recently even 450 or 500 faces massive dumping by big players
possibility of new pump over 450 till around 680 by major players ( in order to profit themselves and then to organize even bigger dump ) : this probability IMHO is over 30 %


edit: 22 Jan, 09:19 UTC
this time missed local BTC peak at 425 to 429 depending on exchange, so literally following my tip ( ''sell at 430 '') made no profit this time
of course, i could put my last tip which had been ''sell at 430'' more like this way ''sell 20% at 420 , and sell 20% more at any 3 usd increments above 420'' but then it will be quite technical and more like addressed to pro traders


edit: 22 Jan, 09:36 UTC
more on BTC price fundamentals : as everybody knows there are only two major enemy battling camps influencing BTC price
1.BTC pushing up faction : miners - mostly Chinese, capital support unknown: as described in old article: ''
The 21 companies that control bitcoin
http://uk.businessinsider.com/bitcoin-pools-miners-ranked-2015-7?r=US&IR=T
2.BTC dumping faction : major financial powers, as described in this post above : want  to control BTC price downwards or ban outright

Tried to withdraw AsiaCoin from Bter. Now the coins are gone, but the withdrawal status says "Waiting for balance". Still waiting for an answer from support. Seems like my money simply disappeared.

thank you very much for info

earlier in this thread there were guesses:
1.BTER does not seem to have any Asiacoin wallet ( it should be wallet in the 1 million + range and which stopped moving May/July 2015
  and this wallet should have - as usual with exchanges - big number of inputs/outputs )
  no such wallet seen until now
  most likely Bter has ZERO Asiacoin
  as indicated before in this thread - Asiacoins were sold hoping for price fall somewhere May/June 2015
2.in chinese threads there are accusations that BTER scam is much bigger than paltry 7.000 ''stolen'' BTC ( what everybody knows )
as far as can understand this Chinese texts, real BTER scam amounts to over 32.000 BTC

Good to know all this things.
So which exchange is new "home" for Asia coin? Seems things doing well on Cryptopia now.

exchange is a headache

sent 2 PM to Bittrex - no response

sent PM to Btc38 - no response

before have submitted for Yobit listing - no reaction despite submitting application on their page

actually was thinking of some sort of BTER solution : forget ( for the time being ) blocked Asiacoin millions
( let's them move frozen Asiacoin to AC-B as Bitcoins ) and reopen trading
still thinking of it

also thinking of implementing new wallet with in-wallet exchange
this is quite complicated and such wallet could crash

actually thinking of issuing new Asiacoin wallet with completely rewritten codebase
present Asiacoin wallet ( around 39.000 lines of code in total ) has been derived from Bitcoin core version 2013 on Novacoin/Blackcoin path
and this forking was not very top quality ( especially last fork BLK>AC )
sorry but it nearly imposible to safely analyse thoroughly these 39.000 lines of code
nowadays people do not trust anything related to Cryptsy after massive scam
1.mullick dabbled with Asiacoin : https://github.com/Mullick/AsiaCoinFix
2.Cryptsy has today a hacked Asiacoin client which allows multiple send of unconfirmed Asiacoin several times in a single block

example block : chainz.cryptoid.info/ac/block.dws?925374.htm
in this block : Cryptsy makes 3 transfers of same Asiacoins within single block ( two of them being of obviously unconfirmed amounts )
such Cryptsy blockS were seen in bigger numbers before
nobody knows how far Cryptsy hacked Asiacoin wallet
actually after Asiacoin premine was discovered end April 2014 - main intention of salvage group was to exchange all Asiacoins to new coin with a new blockchain without 3.2 billion premine wallet
then came new salvage group with Maestro1 claiming no need to exchange Asiacoin to a new coin, that 3.2 billion premine wallet will be software blocked
obviously, Maestro1 and all his team were in bed with original Asiacoin ''dev'' and wanted somehow to protect premine coins
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=595287.0

this premine wallet with 3.2 billion coins is visible today well in Abe explorer for Asiacoin
http://www.multifaucet.tk/index.php?blockexplorer=AC&top_addresses=100
actually with so much hacking of altcoins going on, one could not be sure that in future would not exist another hacked wallet allowing
for gradual reintroducing premine coins to Asiacoin

Better late than never to repair Asiacoin
actually thinking very seriously of arranging Asiacoin exchange to Asiacoin 2.0 with
-completely new codebase for Wallet, forked from 2016 coin sources
 much superior to 2013 Bitcoin source
-new blockchain without 3.2 billion premine
-possibly options to exclude stolen Asiacoins from Cryptsy

please to comment on this possibility of repairing Asiacoin by exchanging Asiacoin to Asiacoin 2.0

please to submit ideas links and contacts where to try for exchanges

moreover, after Cryptsy fall, there might be a try from bigger altcoins to kill as big number of smaller altcoins as possible
possibly by influencing exchanges not to accept

situation is really critical

good ideas needed



edit: to illustrate what havoc could make Cryptsy guys ( could not underestimate hacking by Cryptsy guys ) - just take example of this weekend : some strange activity, almost sure to be connected with Cryptsy hackers kills entire Bitcoin blockchain
Up until Jan 17 2016, daily BTC txn volume was around 1.2-1.7 million BTC per day. Now it suddently jumped to around 33-37 million BTC per day. A few minutes ago, block #394736 moved almost 6.5 million BTC. And block #394739 should move around 7 million BTC. What's going on??

BTER.COM continues Asiacoin trading, but since June 2015 nobody could withdraw
Bter does nor respond to tickets or emails since.
after opening WD ticket comes within few days only automated answer: example from November:
Dear Sir,
Sorry, I am afraid it may take a while before the ac wallet is fixed
The AC withdrawal was cancelled. Please try to withdraw later when the wallet is fixed.Otherwise it may be stuck there.
Bter.com likely does not have any Asiacoin wallet at all
all Asiacoin trade on BTER is a fiction
actually, we should warn potential new users of this crime
best solution for this moment - put a warning on each page
DO NOT TRADE ASIACOIN AT BTER
NOBODY COULD WITHDRAW SINCE JUNE 2015
BTER DOES NOT HAVE ASIACOIN AT ALL

any chance to make this coin stake?

[bittcoinn]

there is new and interesting exchange

listed on coinmarketcap.com
