[rorschach1]

I own GEOcoin of Yobit.
I could not send my GEOcoin to BITTREX and CRYPTOPIA.
If I move GEOcoin from Yobit to GEO wallets today, can I manually swap to UBIQcoin later?
Or is GEOcoin of Yobit obsolete now?
Please, tell me. help me.

Yobit users were warned to withdraw their coins prior to the snapshot.
You will not be able to withdraw from Yobit to Bittrex or Cryptopia as you have missed the deadline.
You will not be able to withdraw to a GEO wallet today and participate in the manual swap as the balance did not exists at the snapshot block taken at block # 1568125.  Only balances that existed at the time of the snapshot will be credited to the Ubiq Network.
GeoCoin on Yobit is obsolete as that blockchain is now considered developer abandoned.

It sounds fairly. They was warned.

Hello people!

Im looking at GEO after this post from experienced investor on tradingview : https://www.tradingview.com/chart/GEOBTC/Y6yBXKvA-GEO-In-a-world-with-1-Billion-Dollar-Dreams/

I think the idea is great, no comment on that : thumbs up to the team for this.

BUT, there is a big but, some buts actually.

1. App design & Traction
After three  years of work, at the moment, the Android apps does not have so much traction and a poor design, not so much happening on it. I would be OK with that if project was 1 year old, but it's not the case.

2. Website/Team  Credibility : Marketing
Website does not show any white paper, not even the team : who are the devs, how many are they, what's their past experience. A little bit of marketing would be great. Being great devs is enough to create an app, but taking a project to success as a company is different : it needs structure, process, a vision. Not only technical skills. I hope these basics of entrepreneurship are not neglected by GEO team.

3. Structure & execution : having a great idea is not enough
There's a say in my country when it comes to entrepreneurship/startups : "all is execution" meaning an idea is far away from being enough. What's hard and what brings you success is the ability to drive a project from A to Z with a vision, a business plan, a marketing/distribution strategy etc...

Does GEO team takes this into account ? From the last video published, which seemed really really cheap ( is not a critic it's just the fact ), i'm afraid we are here just with a great idea but that needs more vision, more marketing, more strategy. More people in the team, marketers for instance, and a bigger team, would probably help to develop more.  

Don't expect a great idea alone to turn into big project. It's much more than that.

Any constructive answers are welcomed, I want to be convinced before I throw some money on GEO.

Thanks!

Totally agree with you. I was an early adopter and fan of this coin. I hope the devs will reach their goals.

It's risky in these circumstances, where bitcoin is also in decline, so it's better to relax and enjoy the beach.

How will the following blocks  # 1568125  work?
i see block 1572155 .... still exists

The blockchain continue growing since there are people still mining it. But the chain is abandoned by the devs, the exchanges... So the GEO coins of this blockchain after the block 1568125 doesn't have any value.

I agree, the POW chain will continue to exists as long as people continue to mine that blockchain.  The blocks and GEO occuring after block # 1568125 will not be migrated to the Ubiq Network, or be supported by Bittrex or Cryptopia exchanges.

GeoCoin is an ongoing project and we've proposed a lot of work and improvements in our recent Roadmap.  Please understand that migrating to the Ubiq Network is a major improvement for the project and we're excited to be joining this growing community!

Just to clarify we do not have an Android app currently, you are likely being confused with GeoCoin Snap which is not affiliated or related to this project in any way.  I made mention of this in the past video.

The last video was not meant to be some shock and awe amazing production, I was simply trying to provide as much information to the community in a quick and simple format.  I had been getting a lot of questions regarding the swap process and details in the weeks leading up.

[weifa]

Why don't dev reach to Yobit support and handle the swap?
Yobit has listed every Bitcoin fork there is, and non-existent ones as well.
Don't see the reason not to participate in Geo swap.

We have reached out to Yobit and have received no response.

So also for this who have GEO on Poloniex. Did they lose their GEO? That is pretty sad.

It is pretty sad, Poloniex have been a real let down with some of the coins they de-listed. They seem to have just stopped caring about low volume markets.

I was very upset when Poloniex decided to delist GEO back over a year ago.  At the time of the announcement Tobler and I sent multiple methods of communication to Poloniex explaining that the project was still being actively developed, but no responses were ever provided.

I am also not happy that some people may still have GEO stuck on Poloniex exchange, but to be fair, they have had ample amount of time (1 year +) to withdraw their balances and I was trying to communicate the available options for the swap for the past month or so since we received a confirmed date from Bittrex for January 25th.  At a certain point, the owner of the coins need to be liable for their own balance management if they want to retain the value.

[Shorty2520]

So any news for manual swap?

Thx

 where did Geocoin miss from coinmarketcap? I hope it will appear there and start to trade again with 100x   but more than that I wait for a fully functional app. Devs I believe in your idea and efforts you put into this project

[bitminer9000]

my thoughts exactly. Not sure why yoggyogg thinks he has the right to be rude as hell.

Hello
I'm running geocoin mining pool.
https://geocoin.miningpoolhub.com

1. Surprised that geocoin upgraded their network today. I didn't know about it until now.
No miners told me about geocoin. Even geocoin dev did not contact the biggest geocoin pool.

Also there's no wallet source upgrade or announcement on github and official site.
I check wallet updates regularly but geocoin has no activity for 3 years.
https://github.com/onetimer/onetimer
http://geo.money/


2.
What can I do with current geocoin in pool wallet? All geocoin wasted?
No PoW anymore.
How snapshot is taken?
Any official statement about this?

Hey,

1)
Geo made official statements in August 2017 about it's plans to change for PoL - https://twitter.com/geo_coin/status/899707149424644096
Throughout September-November developers informed through bitcointalk, twitter and discord about swaps schedule until bittrex confirmed the official date - https://support.bittrex.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003177652

2)
Not a Geo developer myself, but I assume that coins mined past block #1568125 should be excluded from the new blockchain - https://twitter.com/geo_coin/status/956940994787753984
As for how to carry them over to the new chain - you need to wait until swap is fully in place (trading resumed etc) and then contact developers to perform manual swap of the coins that you have collected on Geo wallet. After proving ownership of those coins you will be issued same amount of Geo Tokens.

As for the future there won't be any mining associated with Geo as it became part of Ubiq's blockchain.

If you think my above answer is rude in anyway you have a serious head problem. In addition it is not smartest thing to raid someone while publicly belonging to a big pool with public ip, let's see how your server holds on and how secure your coins are on it.

I didn't "raid" anybody. I said you were rude. Then you threaten to do illegal actions in retaliation. Do you threaten everybody with an illegal action if they say you are rude? 
I think you may have the serious head problem.

Let's please be civil everyone, keep personal arguments out of our community space.  Thanks!  

I plan to post the manual swap claims process later today, just need to do some troll management this morning.

Coinmarketcap needs to have an active market to pull their information from, so it will come back once the markets reopen

When do you think it will reopen? By this week? At least any rough date?
