There was one fair accusation , about the name 'Foundation'. There were really some plans about Foundation to defend rights of investors in 2015, but later we came to the conclusion that it would be better for a decentralised project if there are no companies/official entities behind it, that the community will decide things and not just a group of investors/old supporters. However, the ANN thread was already started. The name 'Foundation' turned out to be not good for a decentralised project, it led to perception that someone is a 'boss', or that there is some group which decides things, that was just a bias, anyway. Moreover, I was told several times that unknown users spoke on behalf of 'Foundation' at other channels. I confirm that I communicate only at Bitcointalk, and all messages, posts, announcements, made somewhere else under 'Mooncoin Foundation' are not mine, and were not authorised by me.
Also in 2015-2017 words 'Mooncoin Foundation' were used unofficially to unite members with more than 1 billion MOON, and that was great. But then old good times passed, and now it is important to be exact to avoid accusations, split of chain and community.

We discussed it with old community members, and we came to the conclusion that the best decision would be to start a new ANN thread, not under a name 'Mooncoin_Foundation', due to the fact that there is no official Foundation behind Mooncoin project. It will be better for perception, and will be a step to the future, it can symbolize a new era of Mooncoin .
In the new ANN thread let's keep true spirit of Mooncoin, let's stop personal attacks, avoid toxic emotions, untrue statements, suspicions and false accusations. Let's be positive and show best sides of our souls, to prove Moon shines not only for lunatics, but also for romantics and for everyone who believes in peace and progress.

No, I'm still thinking about accusations which were already made on the last pages of this thread.
My proposal was not simply 'to leave', it was about an independent dev who could be kind of 'peacemaker' for the entire community. It looks unreal to find this dev. Anyway, if someone donates his time and other resources to Mooncoin, we are not bosses to tell them what to do. It is very sad to see the split of community, bad emotions, accusations, untrue statements, but if someone makes them, it means that something is wrong, that we all are responsible for the situation when the community members are unhappy and instead of collaboration, peace and progress just accuse each other. During 2015-2017 years this ANN thread was a good place with positive emotions, interesting suggestions, normal critics, disputes, friendly communicating, there was a big community, and I cannot recall even one accusation or toxic communication, what happened to us all?

I can only guess that they are waiting for exchanges, when they open their MOON wallet for deposits.
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/moon is on 0.17.1 and it shows which pools mine Mooncoin and what the current block count is.
Prohashing block explorer https://prohashing.com/explorer/Mooncoin/ is also on 0.17.1.

Critics and false accusations are different things.
If we criticize someone that he did not have enough time and motivation during 2 years to care too much about the project, that someone did not announce plans at Bitcointalk, it's critics, based on facts.
If you accuse that someone hated Michi, blocked her address vindicatively, had a physical or non-physical access to 62 B, or wanted somehow to get this access, took an action to delay the release and compete, hired and paid devs for insecure wallets, wanted just to pump Mooncoin with new features, decided things individually etc.
it is not critics, there are accusations based only on assumptions, and are you sure that they are not false?
Ok, even if you are 90 percent sure that they are not false (based on what? On your perception?), then is it correct to make false accusations, if there is even a 10 percent chance (in your opinion) that they are not true? Or you just so strongly believe that someone is so bad that you are 100 percent sure that it is worth to accuse? That is beyond my undestanding.
If critics is something which is not accepted, and will be answered with attacks and accusations, it will be difficult for Mooncoin community to come to consensus in the future.

There was one more accusation, that in Jan, 2020 there was an announcement at Telegram about a new release,
and ChekaZ and Peter started to work after that,  'to compete'?


I am not registered at Telegram and have not seen this announcement,
here is Bitcointalk, September, 2019:

I was thinking about some accusations, for example, that there were 'individual instructions' and not the consensus thing. But anyway, when a dev codes a wallet, he does it whether after his own decision, whether after receiving instructions from other members. Instructions can be public, made by different community members via posting at forum, or instructions can be sent via PM, by a member who is a 'bridge' between the community and a dev.  However, if the community agrees with something, asks for it, waits for it, if it is evident that something is good for the entire community, is it correct to say about 'individual instructions', even if finally these instructions were sent to a dev in a PM by one person who connected a dev and the community?
Another accusation was that things should not be voted at forum, but should be presented to miners via miners or users activated fork. Maybe it works for big coins like DOGE, LTC or BTC. But if there are about 50-80 nodes like in Mooncoin network and we understand that miners mine a coin mostly to sell it at exchanges and are not very well informed about a situation with Mooncoin, and one user can run easily 10 nodes, can we say that miners or users activated fork means community consensus and fair voting exactly in this case?
It worked in this way: community members were asked via posts in the thread and via PM about their decision and a dev was informed, or a dev asked other members by himself, via posting or via PM. If even minority of members don't agree with something, for me it is always a sign that something is wrong. However, if I remember correct, until the last events, the only disagreement in the community about what to implement was about Mooncoin logo.

Maybe their project is good, but it's said it is about 'crypto-businesses', while Mooncoin never was a 'crypto business'.

Itis highly recommended to backup your wallet regularly, and especially before every update.
Keep your wallet.dat copy offline. You can rename it like wallet-current-date-wallet-version.dat
Look for your wallet.dat file in    C:\Users\YourUserName\Appdata\Roaming\Mooncoin
or in C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Application data\Mooncoin (Windows XP),
if you don't see the dir with wallet.dat on your PC, then switch on 'show hidden files' in your PC settings.
 Your wallet.dat file = your coins, if you lose it or overwrite, you'll be not able to get an access to your coins.
The updateto new version is 2 steps: saving your wallet.dat and running a new version, in some cases you may have to resync a new wallet.
                                               

Reminder:
don't use 0.13.9 wallet!
Looks like everyone agreed that it had a security issue, very serious vulnerability with block validation.
It was not recommended to use 0.17.1 before, that does not mean it's insecure itself. Only devs and experts can review the code and can say if it is secure or not. Currently  no dev/expert/coder said that 0.17.1 is insecure.
Why it was not recommended to use 0.17.1 before? Even if the wallet (the code) itself is secure, it could be insecure to use a wallet, if it is on a separate chain, when coins go nowhere, let's say you send coins from a wallet which is on one chain, and exchanges are on another chain, your coins will not come to exchanges in this case.
It is important to have all pools, exchanges, services and users on the same chain. It is important to avoid split of chain/community.
Now we move to one chain, it is necessary to stop using other wallets and update your wallet to 0.17.1.

Cryptoid.info block explorer is on 0.17.1 now.

Several months ago a detailed description of SL algo was delivered to a new Mooncoin dev (mebagger2), he controls an official Mooncoin Github after receiving credentials from Vassilis, since that we have been waiting for news from him:


Investors (including me) are ready to invest more money in MOON, however it's really needed to see some progress with development in this direction.

The problem with gaps betweens blocks due to not ideal difficulty retargetting algo was discussed many times.
A dev promised to fix it in an upcoming release:


Mooncoin is not stuck at the moment.
You can verify it with any of 5 independent Mooncoin block explorers.

Hello,
if you are an experienced JS coder and would like to help (for BTC),
please PM. Thank you.

No, many members of Mooncoin Foundation have never mined even 1 mooncoin.
The community is not miners... miners are rather random now, pools that support MOON calculate profitability and random miners jump on board and then sell coins.

It's not the community.
Community are people who spread a word, generate ideas, code, design, contact exchanges and crypto sites etc.

You could not say that. Dogecoin is really very well known coin now,

the problem with MOON that after Cryptsy exchange crash in 2016 (MOON had big volume/liquidity there),
other big exchanges didn't list it (it was time when ICO projects flooded the market and exchanges focused on ICOs).

So despite of all support from the community for years (MOON has 5 independent block explorers, implemented innovations, written from scratch, real use cases etc.), no big exchanges yet.

However, if any of big exchanges list MOON, it can be very interesting move.
Anyway the community will support MOON, with or without money, like it's doing it since 2014 when an original Mooncoin dev had disappeared (your topic starter is also inactive? BTW he used to post in the Mooncoin ANN thread before).

Good luck.
