Developer Announcement -- Fixing the BlockChain


We want to thank everyone in the community for staying strong during this ordeal, we have been working to fix this nonstop and have spoken at length with ritchie, we have come up with a preliminary plan that will fix the issues with the coin.


  • Everything will be starting fresh with us in full control, including a new github, explorer, sync and alert keys.
  • The new github will contain an initial commit the same as the current as well as a commit with the fix so that everyone can see it, again we want to thank ocminer for discovering this after a lot of prodding we have discovered the if statement that was missing and will correct this issue.
  • Following the fix we will commit all of the new alert and sync checkpoint keys, followed by a change to alter the PoW height and set the coin to pure PoS after the rollback prior the exploit being abused.
  • Following the rollback commit there will be a hardfork commit after which everything will be thoroughly tested on testnet, once the change is stable a date for the hardfork will be set.

We want to thank everyone again for hanging in there through these issues, we have been talking with ritchie at length and we all agree that this is the best course of action.

There are 3 scenarios:

1) you have copy pasted a scam coin and have no clue how to code so you couldn't fix it (why not copy paste a proper one?)

2) you have no clue how to code, wanted to scam and copy pasted a shitcoin, didn't get any $ from the scam since bittrex froze and now you want a legit coin

3) you paid for a coin (and the real dev altered the code) and you still have no clue how to code and got scammed also.

Tell me please if I have missed any options?
