Dear fellow members,

thanks to the Chicago's effort we have recovered a bit longer history than I had initially (the chain I had is a sub-chain of the one Chicago got). As nobody posted anything different I assume this is the maximum we could achieve in this respect. I already set up the block explorer with that chain at http://explorer.graincoin.net so you could explore it without the need to download and re-index the blockchain bootstrap file yourself. However, we will decide shortly where to host that file and make it available for your reference.

Also, I would like to mention that Chicago being an experienced in cryptocoin related development did many things for the sake of good of Graincoin during past days and I am happy that now we could have not a single developer but form a team backing the coin development.

The team is not closed: this is an open source project, so anyone who feels himself capable and willing to participate is welcome.

As no objections were expressed to my proposal on further steps in development we will start to implement the coin swap according to the scheme described.

At time of coin swap we will release a new wallet based on more recent bitcoin client software. Most likely the new wallet will be based on bitcoin v0.12.3 code to adsorb as much development as possible. Definitely it will not be a v0.13 code or later as it makes no advantage for us: we will not hit block limit any soon. Although the segwit introduced in v0.13 also solves transaction malleability problem, we would prefer to postpone its possible integration until we see it really needed for Graincoin.

The development tree is moved to the new location at github (please see https://github.com/graincoin-project/graincoin ) to allow better level of team collaboration than the previously used single user account allows.
