The FRN coin is dead. Francs (XFR) replaced it:

Looks like they have given birth to new scam with different name.. Your scam seems to be much worse.


Shoriko and calcifer everything has been said. We acknowledge our fault and the situation is actually pretty simple to understand. Now if you're persisting to call this a scam, either prove it or your posts will be considered toxic and removed.
@Francs, So looks like you have proof for calling this a scam that LawBC is looking for.  Please do enlighten the current dev and the community .

Not sure what caused the frn.cash service to crash. Should be re-up soon.

@calcifer

I think I already explained it. The chain have been stucked a few times (actually, many times) over the last few months. That is happening when the big miner leaves in the middle of a block leaving the difficulty too high for the other miners, therefore making the chain stop. I had to rent some mining power to start it back. Otherwise it would sometime take a whole day to resume.

That is most likely the reason why we got such a high rate of orphaned blocks. The chain is suffering because of the weakness of the network.
I'm not aware of the anomalies you pointed out on the previous page. I assume they are created because of the same causes. If you doubt about the code, freely review it. I don't think the other devs would do anything suspicious in my back.



I would not recommend doing any transactions now. The chain seems to be stuck again since 10-Oct-2018. There is a very high risk of losing your coins.  I did lose mine from transacting from yobit to my wallet when it was stuck last time. Dev team need to fix this like they did before and many times in past.

@DroidR17A

Francs-qt folder include minerd.exe which get flagged by most antivirus software. You can safely ignore it.

@CoinMenX

The total supply is 11 millions. The circulating supply as of today is 5,194,827
Block halving will happen from 5,500,000, going from 20FRN per block to 10FRN per block.

CoinMarketCap have been asked to update the statistics

As per Dev, it was supposed to half at 5.5 mil . As per explorer  the coin emission is at 6.2 mil already but still not halved.. They are least bothered.. Just mining themselfs and selling..

Please dev,

read about this tech to protect the network from big hash changes

https://www.cryptocompare.com/coins/guides/what-is-a-kimoto-gravity-well-dark-gravity-wave-or-digishield/


Absoloutely!! Even I thought of posting about Dark Gravity algo but get demotivated to post any recommendations seeing the response times and from FRN Team and not keeping up to their own road maps.

@calcifer ... how many FRN do you have / mined / bought ?

you've written 5 posts on ALL bitcointalk, ALL on this topic

latest wallet have problems, I removed it and reinstall 1.02 and get all my coin back which never appeared on the lastest release

calm down buddy, you'll win nothing yelling "scam scam scam"

prohashing FRN explorer is a good one and really work

Well I am happy that someone is responding and questioning in the first place.

@calcifer ... how many FRN do you have / mined / bought ?
     I started gathering this coin after reading and becoming fully confident about this coin not being a scam. I ventured into this in-spite of the fact that there is an unmoderated thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1336454.0) bashing FRN during its launch phase to be a scam. I didn't believe what was written in the thread because it was not fully convincing.

How much I have bought. I have bought >1% as per the top 100 rich list of FRN explorer. That's about ~52K coins with my hard earned money!!

How much I have mined? Well I never intended to mine this coin. I bumped into couple of my friends scrypt antminers so bought it(hard earned again) and started mining about 2 months back. I wanted to do solo since the network hash was not that high . Unfortunately since cgminer was not capable of doing direct solo so I started to learn how to solo. Well I even went to the extent of modifying Eloipool (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=61731.0) to use Scrypt algo which was otherwise meant purely for Bitcoin/SHA256. It was really a daunting task for me.
Before even venturing into the task, I did ask in the forum if anyone has any success with Solo using Antminer. I never got any response. So I will disagree here that I always keep yelling scam.
I only wanted to solo so never gave thought about who are the other miners and their hash rates. Well to have good network during solo I even created VPS(again personal investment) in Digital ocean in Amsterdam 2 this is the  same network and service provider as FRNs seed node(185.14.184.239).
I even modified uNOMP for stratum mining and overall mined about 12k coins Eloipool+uNOMP in ~35days. These 12k was not butter smooth. I was a victim of BWH attack. I didnt even know such attack exists initially . I was losing coins but initially thought I was doing something wrong with mining so gave the benefit of doubt to FRN team. Then I started monitoring the explorer and the mined blocks and time analysis and orphaned blocks. these are couple of ways to find the BWH attack .

Then I started monitoring the mining addresses(peer miners like me) and my second and third post was to Law/Dev team asking them to validate my theory. I even shared the Mining address and time analysis. Again never yelled scam here. benefit of doubt given to FRN team because I was >1% investor and wanted this coin to succeed. Absolutely no response on my analysis from FRN team. The more I digged deeper into mining addresses, yobit sells, cryptopia sells maping with explorer Francs movements the more things were getting clear that BWH was intentional to keep other miners out of bay . was surely done with FRN teams knowledge.

you've written 5 posts on ALL bitcointalk, ALL on this topic
No denying here. I never wanted to write or show low of the very coin for which I'm an investor/miner. I only was buying since early June '17. but I am happy that I ventured into mining and was able to unearth the findings.
 

latest wallet have problems, I removed it and reinstall 1.02 and get all my coin back which never appeared on the lastest release
I am not quite sure what you mean here, but i have done a dozens of installation of wallet on ubuntu on my local laptop and in Cloud using Digital ocean. Well I even keep an eye on Github/FRN every week since I started to mine just to be sure that the Codebase has not been updated by Dev team.

calm down buddy, you'll win nothing yelling "scam scam scam"
  If this coin loses I lose my 1%. I am not that insane to do  that kind of damage to myself!!  Its a considerable investment for me. I was calm all this while and have given more than what we call benefit of doubt to the FRN team. Like I explained above I never called it a scam during my first couple of posts. It was a sincere and urgent request to Law and Dev community to analyze.

Just an additional stats. The day I posted Selfish mining attack by FGjHkLuz3FNxxjNdj2MyjBm5GPQbSY5AZi . He stopped mining(~2days later). Thought it might be a coincidence . The last post from Law on FRNs future plans and quoting that Aggressive miners cannot be stopped, Mr 'FGjHkLuz3FNxxjNdj2MyjBm5GPQbSY5AZi'  comes back and happily mining away. I dont think it can be a coincidence this time around.

Lastly I still hold my >1% coins.  All this while I didnt want to wake up and listen to my analytical mind. I still wish my theory of 'scam' is incorrect but my analytical mind does not agree anymore!!

Never even launched the advertising campaign, and printed a whole bunch of brochures.
Not quite true, I run a small business and got my fancy brochure ! I guess they did send them, but obviously not on a large scale.

hi all, i'm trying to access my online wallet but frn.cash seems down, did i miss something ? @LawBC, any advice ?
Anybody can tell me more about frn.cash/ ?

Oh snap, so they sent out the advertising campaign and did not even let us know? Probably sold their shares while the coin was inflated, in order to get their finances back. Now doing selfish mining to get more of their coins back. That's pretty low guys, to be completely honest. Disabled the explore view from Coin Market Capital. And went silent for months. That is absolutely despicable. You sold yourself low. You could have made millions on this project. But you compromised for a couple of thousands. And you also tainted your entire project and compromised your investors.

i don't know about all this scam speculation, all i can tell you is when i contacted them to get a brochure they got back to me quickly. that was indeed a few months back, and the project has been quiet since, but we don't know what happened.
NOW, can someone please tell me what happened to frn.cash/ ??

Its not a speculation. I have closely monitored the connected nodes, the mining addresses.  What they are doing is masking their scam by quoting low network hashing power. What they are effectively doing is buying time from community and investors by not making progress, giving hopes to community by occasionally talking about their future plans to keep the coin price from sinking, while silently mining away coins and selling it to make up for their nonICO project funds.

@Law, I beg to defer on your points. You keep talking about getting ideas and help from community but give least importance to winning their confidence and trust in the first hand. Yes and I do agree its not an exit scam rather an ongoing one where you want community to believe and buy the coins that you mine yourself.

@Shooriko, The IP for explorer link in coinmarketcap has changed, the IP was pointing to seed node initially. The IP got changed but not updated in Coinmarketcap.  can try explorer.francs.paris

@Lucus12, frn.cash has broken link as well. It was working few weeks back. Might be IP has changed here as well but like Law mentioned team might be busy with their life hassles!!  Dont lose hope. They are sure to respond in a month or two when they see the coin price is sinking.

For All the Miners, Dont waste time and effort mining this coin.
 
FGjHkLuz3FNxxjNdj2MyjBm5GPQbSY5AZi  --> This guy still continues to rip FRN. Today entire day he witheld his blocks and published all at one shot just few mins back.

and looks like founders are either least bothered or its done with their knowledge because the rewards are going to the 4th in the richlist FJnUfPKxDFoDM3NEF4qcgB8stnwfw2Sy7W.

Shame on you guys.

@Law,  Further on my above post I did some analysis on frrancs.explorer. and time analysis for the blocks being propogated.

Looks like this guy FGjHkLuz3FNxxjNdj2MyjBm5GPQbSY5AZi   is doing  selfish mining attack on the network.  He is also sending the rewards to
 FJnUfPKxDFoDM3NEF4qcgB8stnwfw2Sy7W who has already done premie I suppose. part of founders team ?

Please check and respond as this does not looks good for the honest miners and might hamper the coins image of fairness.

@Law/ @Devs,  Is this project really alive or some sort of scam coin? I had mined like 490 coins yesterday and had 61+ confirmations. Today I open my wallet and it shows as conflicted transactions. Francs explorer still shows my transaction but not in my wallet..

Frnd-Tx-id   ff5297b0c59b76db6f7edbaeb94d0ca94498b80ff181d3777eb4b9ba6ab6c682

This is happening for the 2nd time now. Are the coins being stolen?  Devs are you awake ?

Thanks. I have tried this method. Looks like the cgminer (built into Antminer) accepts only stratum. It shows pool status as "dead" .

Are you using this method?

Any luck in your pursuit to solo mine?  Is this still active?

@Devs, Any inputs how to solo mine with ASICs . Even I tried with Antminer with no luck.  As per francs explorer I can see people doing solo. What are we missing ?
