Another coin swap that requires user participation... These things are driving me crazy.
So... Is there a v1 block explorer?
My v1 wallet won't sync. Can someone help me?
the v1 network is dead now. Ive sent you a PM, we might be able to swap it another way
There are many coins doing new v2 blockchains with manual swaps from the v1 blockchain. The manual coin swap is the new scam so there are now some important steps to take to ensure transparency of all coins.
- A v1 blockchain block must be determined as the last block.
- The original v1 blockchain must be kept forever and a block explorer should be available for it.
- Coin swaps should be automatic. Public wallet addresses must remain with the same starting character. This way coins can be automatically sent back to the owners. All paperwallets and wallet.dat files should work with the v2 blockchain.
If the steps above aren't followed it leaves the question open for "Did the person in charge of the swap steal any coins?". Unfortunately, this question can never be answered. This coin will forever have a negative association with it.
