Yep, it's the proper chain. If you get your coins back from Cryptopia, they should be interchangeable with the current Lynx version. With all the work we have been doing on this project, we have maintained the complete historical blockchain. So, your coin history is still intact (even if they were called Kittehcoin when you originally got them).

Press Release

CHARLOTTE, NC., June 18, 2018.
 
Lynx is an eco-friendly cryptocurrency that discourages mining for profit and runs on Raspberry Pi.

Lynx offers a solution to the environmentally unsustainable problem of profit-driven mining, because the code purposefully lacks incentives to mine it for profit. In addition, the entire LYNX network is designed to operate on a collaboration of low power devices (like the Raspberry Pi) that result in a global cost of only dollars a day; this includes mining the coin and confirming transactions. The emphasis on low-cost computing creates a decentralized, broad miner base that strengthens the stability of the cryptocurrency. In addition, to reinforce Lynx’s security, the core team is finalizing development on a modification that makes Lynx immune to a 51% attack.

According to Ben Wilson, the lead developer with over twenty-five years of software development experience, “I love solving problems and current research confirms the energy requirement associated with Proof of Work is a problem. I wanted to create a cryptocurrency that moves in the other direction; toward a carbon neutral footprint. We’re not there yet but we’re close. And the best part is that even non-techies can mine Lynx, so it’s environmentally sustainable and it’s inclusive to anyone who wants to support the project.”

Lynx was designed to have minimal environmental impact because it’s committed to creating global solutions and maintaining a small carbon footprint. The goal is to attract a broad range of collaborators who will directly benefit from the equitable and sustainable approach.

"Can we buy hosting on your site with lynx?"

Ha, That is a great question and one that none of my customers have asked me yet. I suppose yes, you could! I'd be open to it. We have many customers that pay for a year in advance for 13 months of service. We provide that discount as a reward for the advance payment. IT is non-refundable though, but we have a great reputation and I'm happy to provide references. If this is of interest to you, let me know via DM. https://deliverypath.com

Sun, The objective was to take the economics of the mining for profit concept and turn it on it's head. No one that mines this coin will make money (at least with the current valuations on the street). If the miner is interested in mining for profit, lots of of other coins are great candidates for this. The competition for more hashing power begins and an economically inefficient project unfolds. Our concept is to make it so easy for holders and interested parties to participate in this coin, and at such a low cost, that the barrier to entry would be the lowest that we could find in this space. Instead of feeding a few pigs in a sty, we are feeding bees in a hive. This provides a far more stable platform to build upon. This is the concept at least. It is often forgot in this space that no relationship exists between mining hash power and the ability for the average block time to be met - as long as the hashing power is somewhere between zero and infinity. For a long term sustainable emerging coin concept like ours, our bet is to be closer to zero then infinity. -ben

Our development team has no part in a premine. If the original dev team did one in 2013, we weren't part of it. It is likely that address belongs to the exchange Cryptopia. -ben

Pool List

Multipool: https://www.multipool.us

Before mining our coin, consider reading our whitepaper. You will find that the Hybrid Proof of Work rules built into this project will force mining to always be unprofitable. Only application developers who build on Lynx, traders, builders and enthusiastic community members will wish to mine Lynx.

DNS Seed list been updated, wallets should seed accordingly now.

About:

In 2017, our team upgraded and rebranded an existing coin (Kittehcoin/MEOW) as Lynx. How? We successfully forked Litecoin and ported the Kittehcoin blockchain history to it. This gives Lynx all the benefits and up-to-date security features of Litecoin with the full transaction history of Kittehcoin. These upgrades fixed the flaws in the original coin and revived its community of users. It’s cryptocurrency from the past; redesigned for the future.  

Why did we fix an old coin? Rather than start from scratch and drift alone at sea, we thought it would be more interesting to support an existing and established community. We figured: why build an audience from scratch when one already exists?

What problem does Lynx solve? Unlike many other coins, Lynx is eco-friendly and requires miniscule energy consumption (and technical expertise) to mine the coin. At Lynx, we believe that for cryptocurrency to be considered a secure, financial solution for today’s global marketplace, it must be created with global sustainability in mind. The energy costs of high-volume mining rigs are too demanding and they create an over-reliance on fossil fuels. Lynx business rules discourage high-volume mining rigs because our code purposefully lacks incentives to mine it for profit. Here are some of the business rules that help us achieve this goal:
 
1. The mining reward takes one week to “mature.”
2. The individual mining reward is only 1 Lynx (+ fees).
3. The cost of a transaction is 0.0001 Lynx/kb.

We designed Lynx to have minimal environmental impact because we’re committed to creating global solutions and maintaining a small carbon footprint. Lynx business rules encourage the use of low-cost computing (like a Raspberry Pi which only consumes less than 3 watts of electricity) to mine the coin. As a result, the electrical cost to maintain the Lynx network is a fraction of a fraction which results in a low environmental impact. The emphasis on low-cost computing also creates a decentralized, broad miner base which also strengthens the stability and security of the currency.

What makes Lynx cryptocurrency unique?

In addition to fixing an old coin (Kittehcoin) and making it eco-friendly, Lynx was designed with techies (high-end developers and programming experts) and non-techies in mind. In fact, we know there are more non-techies in the world than technical experts (!), and we wanted to provide them with an opportunity to get involved in Lynx behind-the-scenes. Our goal is to build an inclusive community that welcomes everyone to participate in the project. It’s one of the reasons we resurrected an old coin instead of building a new one from scratch. Our philosophy is a rising tide lifts all boats; the more people share the same goal, the better it is for everyone involved.

The “Lynx Cryptocurrency Installer” mines Lynx, securely confirms global transactions (yes, it’s a full node) --  and the best part? Anyone can set it up because it runs on a Raspberry Pi.

Slacklog is a system we designed and built that does a rather mundane task for the small business owner. It generates a PDF mileage log for your taxes at the end of the year. Yeah, we all know that we can write off the miles we drive for our work, but none of us actually manage to be thorough in our logging of the miles so it tends to be something that falls to the side or we end up cutting ourselves short. But you can save a lot of money if you have a mileage log. https://slacklog.com/ makes it really easy by giving you 12 questions that you can answer in about 5 minutes and when done, you have a complete PDF mileage log that you can print and include with your tax documents or forward to your accountant. It's dirt cheap and you can pay for it with a credit card or Bitcoin! Watch the video's on the home page to see it in action.

We integrated with Bitpay and it was really easy. The API that Bitpay supplied had everything we needed. https://slacklog.com/ is built in PHP and even though Bitpay didn't have libraries for our custom framework, it was super easy to create what we needed from their knowledge base. https://slacklog.com/ is an American business and we would love your support!

I think American Express is the only credit card company. All these 'alt' card companies seem so odd. I mean, what's the point right? Okay, so each has different products that are of interest to different types of users, countries, currencies and industries, but could that be it? Oh, well maybe because competition drives fresh thinking and innovative new ideas. Feathercoins checkpointing, Worldcoins quick confirmation time, DOGEcoins garbage feature set but great at bringing awareness to crypto, etc. Huh. Nah. Stick with Bitcoin.
