lucky me , i found an old wallet.dat from some years ago , did not read this thread for years now , but as i understand it will go on now as blacknet , time to open my old wallet.dat to see what present it contains

No, Blackcoin still is going on as normal. See www.blackcoin.org as well as https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3017838.200

It is complete misinformation that Blackcoin is rebranding as Blacknet.

I believe that Gritt-N-Auld is trying to misinform me about blackcoins and blacknet.
Maybe he is really selfish and wants there to be less coins burned for blacknet so that he would have a larger percentage of the blacknet.
Or maybe he just wants to manipulate rat4 into letting him have his cake and letting him eat it too.
Or maybe he benefits from people not participating in blacknet in some other way that I don't know.
Its really bad what you are doing.
I hope I make my own educated decision about what to do without being manipulated by your misinformation.

I 100% exactly meant completely what I said. There are no centralised authorities in Blackcoin. Anyone can take a project and run with it. Including Blackcoin. The community that is pissed off at rat4 for what he has done are running with it because in cryptocurrencies there are no central authorities. They do not have to listen to anyone to say otherwise.

Blackcoin is protocol. Development is software supporting that protocol.

Ditching a project through a burn because rat4 thinks that everyone is out against him is not correct. I had offered to help him since he announced Blacknet. Everyone loved and respected rat4, I still do. However, when I see something go down the wrong way that is completely centralised, after trying and trying to email rat4 privately which no response.

I think rat4 thought that Janko's development was hostile. That ISN'T true. Janko tried to bridge an obvious glaring gap and speaking as a third party from what Janko has showed and told me, it is wrong.

The whole reason why I am here is to be a sort of whistleblower to false information. I already had a chat with the exchanges and everyone else and told them exactly what is happening.

These are the facts:
- Blackcoin still exists, there still is development going on with or without rat4 for the past 2 years
- Blacknet is a project by rat4, the original dev and brains behind Blackcoin
- In rat4's eyes, Blacknet is a spiritual successor to Blackcoin. I do NOT disagree with that. The same as how I see Blackcoin as a spiritual successor to Peercoin and others.
- Blacknet has proposed unique traits and I really do hope that I can HELP rat4 overcome obstacles that he may face because I respect him.
- Rat4 still has a say on the blackcoin.org website and development, he isn't being shunned from anything or being pushed away
- Rat4 gave me access to the Blackcoin repository on github just recently, rat4, thanks.

Literally, the only thing that I am angry about it simply one thing: "Blacknet (formerly BlackCoin)" <- this isn't true.

I actually do want to help rat4!
