I found GeoCoin Telegram chat

https://web.telegram.org/#/im?p=@GeoCoinchat

Is it official?

I've never used Telegram myself, I prefer to use the Ubiq Discord chat.  It's possible that someone in the community setup a Telegram chat for GEO, I'm unsure.

Hi,

I transferred some GEO coins from one exchange to another. However, the Tx does not appear on the chain. If I got it right, there was a chain swap?
Apparently, on exchange still use the old chain (https://etherscan.io/token/0xfa95646aec63d22ffaecdd49cc1efdf5ae37c911?a=), while the other exchange may use the new one (https://chainz.cryptoid.info/geo/).

I saw a post on the GEO twitter, that they process the swap claims manually or something...

Anybody has an idea what I should do now to have the coins transferred?

Thnx

Geo in January had a switch to a new blockchain. The 1st link is some different coin, it's supply is 20milion and last transactions occured over 30 days ago. 2nd link (chainz) is part of old blockchain that is developer abandonded and coins from that chain can only be manually swapped with developers if coins were present on the wallet before the swap occured - therefore transfering old coins to a wallet and requesting manual swap is not going to be honored.

Only official exchanges trading Geo coins are Bittrex and Cryptopia, recently there were rumors of other exchanges offering Geo, but it has not been fully confirmed yet. Yobit used to trade Geocoin, but they did not participate in the swap and they remained trading old coin, those are worthless as they cannot be swapped.

As Geo is part of Ubiq network it uses it's block explorer - https://ubiqscan.io/contract/0x500684ce0d4f04abedff3e54fcf8acc5e6cfc4bd

Thanks for the detailed explaination YoggYogg.  For those people who had GEO left in their desktop wallets before the snapshot block taken at #1568125, they can make manual claims with the following form: http://geo.money/coinswapclaim/

Yobit is still operating on the original POW blockchain which is now developer abandoned.  I'm not familiar with that link you posted, but it appears that someone has likely created some scam versions of Geocoin on the ethereum network.  As YoggYogg provided, the real GeoCoin project is part of the Ubiq Network and the explorer is found here: https://ubiqscan.io/contract/0x500684ce0d4f04abedff3e54fcf8acc5e6cfc4bd

I think your project gives us less information. I want to ask about the purpose of this project? The benefits are quite interesting.

The main goal of GeoCoin is to bring GIS & GeoTechnologies to the blockchain.  We've been developing our new MapBox GeoCashing interface which allows users to drap and drop GEO right onto the map for other users to pick up.  Where you choose to place the GEO is up to you.  You could use it to promote your business or an event, create a scavenger hunt, contest or any other promotion that you want to encourage people to get outside.

my wallet isnt working right, do you have any nodes?

The original POW blockchain is now developer abandoned so the network stability is not guaranteed.  That being said, there is a list of nodes found on the old blockexplorer here: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/geo/#!network

Try adding these nodes manually:
147.135.191.162:9748
145.239.30.140:9748
46.105.118.15:9748
138.201.221.88:9748
104.237.4.33:9748

the old chain is still under the same logo and essential function right?

the old chain is still under the same logo and essential function right?

The old chain is using the original blue north arrow logo, the only market that exists is Yobit as they did not support the swap.  This chain is considered developer abandoned.

Back in January the GeoCoin project migrated over to the Ubiq Network as an ERC20 token.  This chain is using the new GEO logo shown in my avatar.  It is currently available for trading on both Bittrex and Cryptopia.  There are also a few additional options provided at Indacoin and CoinSwitch.  Hope that helps clear things up.

so what about the people that had old chain coins they cant swap them anymore?

People who held their balances in the GEO desktop wallet at the time of the snapshot block taken at #1568125 can use the following form to request a manual swap claim.

I received back in the mail a few of the physical trackable $GEO.  Sorry for the inconvenience to anyone who did not receive theirs.  I will need to speak with the local post office to see what the issue is.  Some of the packages were successful, others were not.

We are still under development.  We need to fix our wallet backend first, then we will be pushing for the launch of the new MapBox interface.  I'll be sure to post here and on other social media channels when the Proof of Location (POL) geocashing goes live!

Great idea and great project. I hope this project will be successful. Always keep up the great work! Good luck to you all developers!

so essentially all the people that are buying on yobit are buying useless coins right?

so essentially all the people that are buying on yobit are buying useless coins right?

Exactly.
It's Yobit, anyway.

The people that are buying on Yobit are buying the original blockchain which is developer abandoned and not supported on the Ubiq Network.  They will not be able to transfer to Bittrex or Cryptopia, and also will not be able to make a manual swap claim.  What they choose to do with them is entirely up to them.

Currently investigating some new hosting options for our GeoCashing site.  This will allow us greater security and help us integrate the wallet backend with the assistance of the KryptoTech team.

As a result this migration process can potentially cause some connectivity issues, so I just wanted to let you all know here.  This is a big step towards reopening the wallet withdrawals for those users who have been extremely patient over the years.

We appreciate thanks.
May we have an estimated time for PoL activation/MapBox product release? Like "from 3 to 6 months" or something like that.
