All this talk about distribution is good news to me. I had not seen the post about what happens to unclaimed coins. I had figured they would be lost into oblivion. The voting system sounds good. Of course finding original owners is the best. But I imagine many have long dropped and left their coins or lost as mentioned:
Well the folks from Cryptsy would have their own ledger for their own bookkeeping on their coins they manage I would think thats the first place for tracking investors to find the lost coins.. I know personally ive lost .12 of a 42coin from losing my wallet.dat (flash drive) by accident.. I know their is have to be horror stories and losing your wallet..
Adding more time to swap could help, but what about the 84 coin limit? If you can keep mining old 42, people could swap those, taking the place of the original owners. I suppose it is 1st come 1st serve and there's likely to be many unclaimed coins anyway. Just a thought I had.
old chain 42 continues to mine, and the only value is to exchange the old42 for new42.
