I know someone in the same boat. Around $140k gone for him lost

Why lost?
He missed the swap. Not everyone takes bct

Right now, Solaris has its master node and new algorithm, I am thinking what's the proper time to buy this coin and setup a masternode. Now its almost impossible, the price is already takeoff.
Price is already insane, but so is how low the coin supply is right now
Imagine if you lose your deposit in Bank on same way
When you have deposit in Bank, you are not caring about what is happening and you are not checking each month if they are changing something.
So reading forum for 236 pages is not feasible considering that you have many different coins
When you pay money or investing, there are obligations from developer's side
When I was investing in Solaris, there was nowhere mentioned that you should check this forum each month or week. I invested and I don't care after.
With same success developer can do the same for shortest time, and less users will be able to stay on market
If Crypto currency wants to be successful they should have some workarounds for such cases.
Agree with you there. I was lucky that mine were on Cryptopia so I saw it was being delisted then found out about the swap. Also tweeted it a few times to prompt others.
Even though I'm here and there on bitcointalk I never checked this thread, and consistently checking the thread for my 90+ positions is literally impossible! But at the same time, how else is best to notify people?
Only thing I can think of is CoinMarketCal.com - set alert per coin for events added, which should include things like coin swaps.
By the way, if anyone is in the oldschool Carbon or HTML5 coins then there are currently swaps happening FYI!!!
