So reassuring to read in recent posts that JL777 still buys back his abandoned projects years later. I'll be acquiring KMD 

Seeds don't stay viable for very long, isn't this a problem?

It is not impossible. But only really on the basis that nothing is impossible. I am less involved with cryptos recently than I have been historically. I am near-certain however that I've recently read a post by what appeared to be someone closely affiliated with development of this project, whose estimation regarding masternodes was that the arguments for them being outdated had become overwhelming.
I'll continue to look, I am certain such a post is out there somewhere. If not I apologise, but bitcointalk's scrutiny is enough to find it if I'm right.

Is it my imagination, or is there in fact somewhere online a post which appears legitimately to be from an XSN dev, in which said Dev questioned the current validity and future sustainability of the 'masternode' concept? I don't think I dreamt it, and if I did I'm not convinced that dream was ill-considered. I've tried and tried to find it to no avail - can anyone point me in the direction of such a post, or should I call the men in white coats?

Alright so support got back to me. I didn't actually receive an explanation, but it was suggested that it may have been an orphan. The funds have been credited to my exchange account and I'll try again.

Edit: All good this time, funds received. I don't mind admitting that I've no clue what an "orphan" is due to my years of rather lazily pursuing cryptos, but that I imagine this to be a problem with the exchange as opposed to a problem with the coin. I might be more inclined to appropriate blame if I better understood what just happened, but I won't be spending considerable funds via that exchange for this particular currency, because even for a tiny amount, it's hair-raising when funds disappear like that.

I am waiting for the support. Whilst advising others to beware. I'm as sure as I can be that this isn't my fault, so watch out all.

OK still no response and i'm a little bored waiting. It's a small amount of funds so I'm not too worried, but like fuck am I spending any more serious money if this is what I'm to expect.

Here's what the relevant portion of my Bittrex's account detailing the mystery withdrawal:

TxId   1eea08c053addfffaeda6e3ae9d8e6d93ae72d6fe6420da6b7520bd9b3509283

No sign of the coins, no sign of the tx on explorers, no response yet from Bittrex. Withdrawals from Binance a couple of weeks back worked without issues. Can anyone decipher what's happening here?

Thanks dude but I'm fairly sure they've done something wrong here. The transaction ID they've given me yields no results on explorers, including the one you just linked. My address on explorers shows no incoming transactions either. They worked fine with Binance a week or two ago, but who knows where Bittrex sent my coins. Still awaiting their response, I'll update when they've been in touch.

Is anyone else having a problem using Bittrex? Yesterday I withdrew ZIL from their exchange to my wallet, their site states that the tx was successful, but I've received no coins and the txid bittrex gave me isn't recognised on explorers. Support hasn't mailed me back, been waiting like 24 hours. Beware!!

I was only alerted to this fork by way of an unusual amount of success staking all of a sudden. I'd left the node running on the old chain and had fewer stakers with whom to compete for a stake, and on a completely useless chain whose coins will be rejected by the new one. So I guess those who don't realise the fork happened will keep accumulating a bunch of useless, old coins on a dead chain... at least they'll get a lot of them, lol.

I feel like faith has been restored in KMD after the prior issues, I envisage a substantial price increase very soon 

So I can stake any amount of coins, right? Would someone staking 7,500 coins receive half the reward of a masternode owner who had 15,000, or is there a specific set of advantages/bonuses which apply only to the magic number of 15,000?

Seems relevant:

Definitely keeping a close eye on this one 

OK, after A LOT of faffing around trying different things, I finally managed to find an old version of the bytecoin wallet, import my .keys file then export a .wallet file which the newest wallet finds to be compatible.
Hate it when devs do this. I don't want to spend hours fixing things just because I left the scene for a while. Why was my old file totally incompatible? It shouldn't have been.
Anyway, seems to be fixed now.

How do I incorporate my wallet.keys file from 2014 into the current wallet? It just says unrecognised wallet type or something like that. Help!

Price is looking nice today 

Ah gotya. Thanks dude, I'll be back if I stumble.

I can't send any coins anywhere if I can't import incompatible key files from an older version of the wallet. That's the problem I'm trying to fix.

It's just an annoyance, I think this is an over-reaction. Maybe sell a quarter or something? It's a shame things have stumbled like this but after what happened I suppose some kind of frantic panic is inevitable. Things will stabilise I'm sure.
