From the start this was advertised as Luckycoin restarted at block XXXXX because the chain had essentially been mined by one person for the majority of the last decade, correct? So why after someone on twitter discovered they were able to sync the longer chain did all exchanges freeze deposits and blame some replay attack? The exchanges are older than the fork, there is no risk to them. They just stopped deposits, crashed the market and are killing this coin because they didn't research what they were listing?
There doesn't even seem to be a replay attack just a few transactions that coins be rebroadcast from old wallets. From our perspective, there is some coordination to only let certain people sell this coin.
If we look at charts, the chain was pretty active after the block 81'743 (Nov 25, 2013) chosen for "restarting":

Max 7'193 transactions on Dec, 22, 2013, up to 3'224 transactions per day in 2014, more than 1'000 (average per day) in 2015-2016.
In May, 2014 Luckycoin was mentioned by CNN (

LKY was listed on exchanges and people were buying it in 2014-2018:

Agree that they had to do their research before listing.
It is dishonest - if someone tries to erase all these years, no matter, replay attacks happened, or not, no matter, the original wallet synchs, or not.
It makes no sense to kill off a coin your customers bought in order to save some people who likely don't even know the coin still exists. They spent an unknown amount of money years ago and had years to sell or do whatever they want with their coin. The exchange customers spent millions over the last month buying it, EVERY DAY
You opened a market, people spent millions buying it and then some bad forensics by some troll on X led to all exchanges locking the coin and crashing its value by 90%. Because you didnt know what you were listing and now that some troll says its bad you listen? Exchanges are robbing their customers.
Crypto needs a Luigi Mangione, NONKYC watch out.
