Opal is a re-brand, and entire re-release of OnyxCoin V2. The first OnyxCoin (V1) was, unfortunately, a scam. The original developer had coded a hidden premine and sold these coins when Onyx initially hit an exchange – the coin effectively died at this point. Shortly after this another developer decided to try and resurrect OnyxCoin by launching a new version of the coin (named OnyxCoin V2, surprisingly!) after making some changes to the PoW schedule, and removing the hidden premine.
OnyxCoin V2 was a completely new coin – 100% detached from the original OnyxCoin – in everything except the name. The launch was successful, as was the mining period – and also the transition to PoS. Sadly, the Onyx name was too far tarnished by the original scam, and interest in the coin has faded. It is at this point that Opal was born…
Opal uses the OnyxCoin V2 blockchain, which has always been a fresh new chain, but has been completely re-branded and is now backed by a team of committed members who wish to see the coin succeed. We liked what we saw in the codebase, and the wallet, and felt this was a great foundation from which we could build on - the first task being to detach it completely from the original name.
The Opal team consists of several, experienced members of the alt-coin community with skills ranging from coin development and programming, to website development and marketing. The team is committed to seeing Opal succeed and will work hard to ensure this happens.
