[ANN][FAIR] FairCoin - for a fair economy, featuring proof-of-cooperation

do we need to move our coins in wallet to an exchange before the application of new algo?

No, there is no need to move your coins to an exchange. As long as you have a recent backup of your wallet.dat file, everything will be alright!

Also, I'm working to extend the wallet to detect an old FairCoin data directory and automatically creates a new directory for the user and renames the old one, which means that there is actually no risk of loosing anything.

we have some really brave FairCoin network supporters that dedicate resources to FairCoin and help to keep the chain running by mining grøstl blocks. The block reward is only 0.001FAIR. For that reason I would like to thank them here and pay a reward to the top 10 FairCoin supporting miners. The following list contains the mining address and the number of blocks the address has found (until block 93539):

Yes, but only if you haven't moved or minted coins from the initial distribution (1000FAC each) yet.

Today is the great day of 1.5 wallet!

-------------------------------------------
What do you need to do

On thursday, the 26th of February 2015 at block height 94613 all versions older than v1.5.0 are obsolete and must not be used any more. It is best to avoid using the old wallet the entire day, although it is possible to use it until block 94613 occurred on the network. At around 19:00 - 23:00 UTC the new wallet will be available for download here: http://fair-coin.org/index.html#wallet

 After you have downloaded the new release, please follow the guide below.

   1.  Make a copy of your wallet.dat file and store it at a safe place! Write down the FAIR balance that is displayed in your old wallet.
   2.  If you haven't done yet make a copy of your wallet.dat file and store it at a safe place!
   3.  If you missed step one and two, make a copy of you wallet.dat file and store it at a safe place!
   4.  Now, after you made a copy of your wallet.dat file and stored it in a safe place, delete the entire FairCoin data directory
  5.   Start the new wallet and let it download the new block chain. This takes about 10 to 30 minutes depending on your internet connection and your computers performance. (Your balance will NOT be displayed yet, so don't worry!) Also, you should not create a FairCoin.conf file, it is not needed.
   6.  After your new wallet successfully synchronized to the network, stop it
   7.  Copy your old wallet.dat file (you made a backup copy of earlier) to the newly create FairCoin data directory
   8.  Start the wallet again and it will display your complete balance (if your balance differs from the one your wrote down please contact us at support@fair-coin.org)

Please note that there will be timely gap of about 1 to 3 hours between the end of the old block chain and the availability of the new wallet version because we have to convert the hole block chain and build and deploy the new binary release. This means that the old and the new version can not be used at the same time, because the new wallet does not work on the old block chain and vice versa.
Questions and support

If you still have any questions or need support please contact our forum thread here or contact us directly at support@fair-coin.org.

No, there is no need to move your coins to an exchange. As long as you have a recent backup of your wallet.dat file, everything will be alright!

Also, I'm working to extend the wallet to detect an old FairCoin data directory and automatically creates a new directory for the user and renames the old one, which means that there is actually no risk of loosing anything.

That will help non-technical people who can't find appdata. We don't want to lose their support.
