Hello was inactive around here for some time because of some personal reasons...
With regards to faircoins lost to mintpal, can I still recover it or is it gone for good?
It seems like the link sent to me via email has expired... :/
There was a coin swap some time ago, so I don't know if its possible to get faircoins lost to mintpal back anymore.
Correct is not possible. The reason for that is because we received from mintpal less coins that was supposed to be , and we distrubuted all that with a registration form was expired a long time ago. After the registation process we had a -2M balance and we recovered that coins with part of unused coins in the swap of february.
So there are not coins for redistribute after that and you can consider lost that coins.
