Exchanges notified
So it's been brought to my attention (By Bittrex) that the exchanges can swap the coins behind the scenes, no need for a version 1/version 2 parity. That makes things very simple, and greatly lowers the overall risk. This will require maximum participation by everyone involved, as this update will be mandatory. All you guys will need to do is have all of your coins on one of the exchanges, update to the new wallet, and wait for the go-ahead to withdraw. OP will be constantly updated with which exchanges are on-board to assist with the swap.
It would be great if Bittrex is on board. I don't really trust the other exchanges where we are listed. Please let us know when they confirm participation and I will send my coins there asap. You can also spice up the deal by telling them that any unclaimed coins after a certain period will remain at their disposal for giveaways.
