Hi Felix, how is it going there, hope you are well over in Africa. Its been a long time since an update and I saw that there is a kobocoin airdrop promotion going on and the video mentions that you are going on a new exchange shortly.
Is this an officially backed project, I am having trouble finding more information about it, can you enlighten us?

Thanks!

Fantastic sounding news on all fronts, Bitcoinlady is an amazing woman and a true ambassador for crypto, she's been on the Keiser Report, is in regular twitter contact with Stacy. Max and her are really into African projects, if you could get on a KR that would be amazing PR for the project.

You just need 1 decent reliable exchange, its sad not having anywhere to trade kobocoin when the market is like it is, you could be flying along right now 

Good luck in your relocation to Gaborone

New wallet works well, only thing found was staking wallets can get large and it may slow down too much, suggest creating a new wallet as a remedy. Good to the see the scam kobo twitter account was suspended quickly, hope nobody sent ethereum to that address expecting lots of kobocoin on a made up IPO con!

Hey Felix, seems a quiet summer for Kobocoin, how are the buses and van advertising going, have you had much feedback yet, any more pictures in action?

Have to say not we have not had much luck with exchanges, www.coinexchange.io are closing down soon and everyone must make withdraw by December 1st but at least they have not been hacked and are doing it honestly by the looks.

Regards.

Wowzers Felix! You have been busy behind the scenes, I saw you trying to get your account back on another thread and figured it might be a lost cause, well done it can't have been easy, and double well done for that Kobocoin Minivan, I thought it was just a photoshop job when I saw it in your twitter feed and not a real van with a real engine that can actually move around Africa promoting our favourite coin, nice one
I am seriously looking forward to your next update.

After the default google authenticator 2FA was removed as mandatory (I had problems with that), I was able to log in ok but when I click wallets and goto the pull down menu there is no Kobocoin option so I can not create a deposite address and I searched kobo in the box which shows nothing either, i don't know were else to look, am perhaps doing something silly, I know you managed to deposit ok.

Cryptopia is back online, markets paused but the wallets look active, hopefully nobody reading this lost out.

There are no extra transactions in kobocoin blockchain at the time of the hack, think have to be relieved about that because they took more than first appeared and it can be a coin killer if they get hold of a majority share, some never recover from that.

Can remember when Cryptsy got hit, Big Vern said that the way they did it was inserting a few lines of code in the github source code for a coin update, and slipped in that way, hard or impossible to stop if you're accept lots of coins because its unlikely the exchange will be checking over thousands of lines of code for something that is designed not to set off the virus scanners.

All ten sets of fingers crossed for the new year, surely a much better investment than bitcoin or other coins, I figure most of the big gains have happened already, now its Africa's turn, and what better coin choice 

A quick question please, how are the coding plans going, is there any update to making wild fires in github, any closer ?

Regards.

Explorer back operational, shout a big Happy New Year to Kobocoin and all it's supporters, hope to have a good year for 2019

Great to hear, have full confidence in you, I figured to come this far mean that would be ok.
Btw, very interesting about your involvment with Plaas, its my first Africaan word, means 'farm'

I noticed that Golix were looking for market makers for Kobocoin with high margins as an incentive.
Hope to see the volume on all their coins increase, seems a little low right now, hasn't Zimbabwe got no currency at all not wrecked by inflation, they could certainly do with some kind of currency stablization (outside of the dollar as well).

Good luck,
K.

Hi,
I will donate a few dollars worth of Kobocoin to keep the explorer going, as long as The Tribesman handles it.
Anyone else? 
Regards,
K.

Felix,

Just a quick note, the kobocoin explorer at cryptoid, requires payment its in a grace period, you may have noticed already and have plans

Have a nice weekend,
Regards.

K.

Thanks Felix thats clearer. Golix looks like its had some problems the Zimbabwen banks, but other african countries been added so lots of choices.

Mega wow Felix! it looks like your patience and hard work is finally paying off
This could be the key part to getting Kobo taken up in Africa, purchase in local currencies will give it real value and a real exchange which mean no messing about with tiny amounts of bitcoin with high transfer costs.

I just want to say because there is no ICO for Kobo, if you're having a promotional, I would be willing to donate a few Kobocoin to the good cause, perhaps some paper wallets in shops to be distributed or something, am sure you have many ideas about that.

Good luck again, is exciting times ahead for Kobo, you are doing exactly what you said you'd do and more, respect to you for that :-)

Regards,

Mammoth.

P.S. I don't understand how the Farmers blockchain fits into it, but sounds very intriguing and if there is an ICO, I am sure you will be giving the Kobo holders priority exchange perhaps at a 1 for 1 level

Didn't know that, hopefully volume will kick up a gear and they'll get going again. Would be good to see a kobo/eth pair.
(I figure exchanges like yobit, when they run out of new coins to add, could go the way of cryptsy and btc-e unless they seriously sort out the customers services end)

Regards

Coinmarketcap worked quick, Yobit price is no longer included in the market average, and because they were always heavily weighted downwards, kobocoin has increased by 87% in 1 day, lol.

Tedious for you, goes on for 2 years now, wonder how many coins are stuck with them now ?! 
Btw, Coinmarketcap do not list the Cryptopia kobocoin/litecoin and kobocoin/dogecoin pairs and nor do they list the Nova exchange.com with it's 4 pairs(btc, doge, esp2 and eth), perhaps another email to add these? Potentially good volume to be added by these strong trading pairs but people would not know they exist because most rely only coinmarketcap for updates and would overlook them(like I did!).

Meant to say, great news about coinomi wallet, shows that a good Dev is needed at the helm to keep the blockchain healthy and do the difficult coding work, looking forward to the electrum update, keep up the good work 
Any hints about getting onto an African exchange in the near future? Many Africans no doubt, are looking to invest in an up and coming crypto like this

Regards.

El Mammoth

P.S. Thanks to the Cheddur guys for the addition 

I agree but not nice volume spike on Yobit.net, this will only create bad feeling for the coin and upset when the buyers realise they can NOT withdraw the kobocoin to their personnal wallets.
Unfortunately the apparent arbitrage between exchanges means people will always chase the quick profits without doing their due diligence first and learn the hard way, the only safe solution appears to be to close down the yobit kobocoin listings to limit the damage and move on

See little future in pure proof of work when electricity costs, difficulty/Moore's law and user adoption takes effect. It was a good place to start and offers everyone a possible entry point but the ridiculous (and totally none green) amount of power bitcoin now uses just to validate 1 block is not justifiable. Am sure a number of African countries would love that amount of tera watts just to waste on producing a few coins but they don't have that to spare when they have trouble just keeping 24/7 electricity for the people in the first place. add to that, lack of distributed nodes, POS should form a naturally more even network if its done correctly (bitcoin has highly centralized mining farms with little incentive for small user seed nodes)
 
Ethereum has taken the step to go proof of stake only, unfortunetely it is a double edged sword because (potentially) if not distributed to enough people, only large holders of a POS coin will profit and control supply/nodes in the end.
One outcome I would never have betted on, is the multiple hard forks and surviving blockchains after the the fact, why are they needed, to me it just diminishes the strength and independance of the coin attibutes, why not have all in 1 blockchain? (lol, easy to say)

Anyway, don't know how you did it (9 bitcoins ?!) but getting added to Coinomi sounds like great news, something I learned from following coin development is the successful ones do it in small steps at a time, building strength on top of strength, as opposed to the opposite extreme which is to pump something as much as possible (often based on foreknowledge) then play the market on the downturn.
