This is not so good news for those that have coins trapped on yobit if they don't bother with the swap. Hopefully some pressure can be applied to them to release ppls coins and swap to the new chain.
Couldn't this give people an opportunity to retrieve their Yobit coins? If they transferred their Yobit coins to a holding account (managed by a CBX core member) They can account for the fact that they exist and verify ownership as well as remove them from circulation. Then give an equal amount in the swapped coin.
I still have a concern that the new coin will have to be relisted on Cryptopia since a swap is viewed as a new coin.
