So - the reason i became confused is posts like this one...
Is it known what will be the last block of CAI mining?
Yes once wallet is done, We will post an exact date as to last day of mining. Right now it's a rough estimate like I posted before.
http://caiblk.broken-arrow.pl/chain/Caishen/q/totalbc this address shows total coins mined on CAI, so 1.6 Mill + 368K that will be destroyed = 1968000 to be mined on CAI
before the mining end. That puts the final day at around : 10.5 days from now.
This post talks about an end to the mining. An end on the 19th. As we know - the mining did not end and the coin was overmined resulting in many of us not being able to convert. Like many others, I cannot watch the forums all day every day. Then I go away on business thinking my coins are safe, I try to exchange them on the 19th and its too late!
Stuhlmans offer is amazing, and I wholeheartedly thank him for making it, but it is not necessarily the case that I or others have ignored the warnings. When we talk about miscommunication, the post above is a clear example - for somebody skimming through the forums because they don't have the time to read 200+ new posts, this is the sort of message that leads to problems! Before I went away, I read numerous messages like the one above and believed that mining would stop.
