I was in this situation before.. My solution was to bite the bullet: sold all my Kobocoins in Yobit and moved my trading to Cryptopia

We  should post a warning here to all potential traders that they should avoid Yobit and trade instead at Cryptopia... This would put a downward pressure on Kobo's price @ Yobit but this would be negated by an upward move @ Cryptopia.. I am suggesting to Tribesman that the price being shown @ Kobocoin Twitter account should be those from Cryptopia.

We , as Kobocoin's trading/investing community, should get our act together now.  There is an emerging trend towards regional cryptocurrency, and Kobocoin has the first-mover advantage to take this role in Africa. Kobocoin is featured in the CryptoAfrica exchange despite the absence of PR campaign.  However , there are emerging rival African coins now like Nurucoin which might take the limelight away from Kobocoin..  Kobocoin, however, has the first-mover advantage, maturity (3 years),  the credibility/transparency of the dev, and real-world application with the co-development with Bitsoko (as funded by the Gates Foundation). Despite the online news, very few are aware of the connection with the Gates Foundation, which I think will send the speculators into frenzy once Kobocoin gets its highly-deserved broader recognition in the cryptocommunity.  The price is currently stabilizing at the 0.0000070s area, but I think it will break and stay above 0.00001 soon.

 Good luck!
 

Again, thanks Opticoin.

The price being shown on twitter is from CMC right now. I'd like to make sure that what people see on CMC is matched by the twitter feed. Yes, YoBit is a mess but I will get this sorted. I might have to pay some BTC but I guess it has to be done. The Yobit boys only know money. Attempting to appeal to their better nature is foolish as they don't seem to have such a thing.

I will check the site today to see what's possible.

I wanted to send you a PM but you've blocked newbies from contacting you (and I'm a noob again). The BitcoinTalk admins seem to have no intention of listening to me or looking at the proof when it comes to my hacked account but I can't wait for them to get their act together so let's just get on with it. C'est la vie. I'm used to this type of treatment being an African man in high technology.

There are new cryptos wanting to get a foothold in Africa. I'm not sure about doing this as an ERC20 token, but I'm sure they know what they're attempting.

The JS lib will also get a healthcheck. I need to get my act together and start making sure the tools for interacting with the kobo blockchain are all available for interested parties. A representative of a number of Nigerian merchants recently requested this so it looks like people are starting to investigate what's possible.

As I said earlier, I'll be full time on Kobo and crypto from March this year. I'm aiming for 2018 to be a great year for kobo and the community.
