To answer the comments/questions above,
I guess the person who initiated this new fork will answer later, thus only a quick reply by me:


1)
Here is the thread for the ORIGINAL coin:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1510517.0
code: https://github.com/COINFORCHESS/ChessCoin

2)
and here the site:

* "coin started in 2016. It uses the POS (proof of stake) mechanism to create blocks. The annual staking rate is 32%."
https://chess-coin.github.io/

I find it NOT good that in the announcement here, the 32% are not mentioned at all :-(
It looks like - for newcomers - that this new fork went from "only" 0.32% to again 0.32% :-(

3)
and here my blog:
https://chess-fan.github.io/blog/

* note that in 2019 October a hard fork also was done... and reverted again

9 days passed...

Did you fix the problem yet?

If not... try command repairwallet


Also...
make sure your hashes are OK:

* https://github.com/chess-fan/blockhashes-of-ChessCoin

I have revived:
the project blockhashes of the ChessCoin blockchain

"
... and with this tries to give more trust into the blockchain (via timestamp here, see commits).

use cases, e.g.:

    a block explorer shows you data: can you trust it? ... Why? It is controlled by 1 person who can edit his database at any point :-(
        thus, check it with here. (Also, don't trust me, check my data here with a block explorer :-) )
    new users sync the chain: they can stop syncing when they see they are on a fork (hashes do NOT match)
    ...

Thanks for the reply!

... and good to be back :-)

Hi,

I wonder why the hard fork was revoked - after running for about 2 weeks (Sep 28 - Oct 9)?

Was it that we could NOT sync from fresh? https://chess-fan.github.io/blog/#2019oct10a

I also see over the last 2 days freshly created addresses being positioned in the top list.
* I guess some whale is distributing his wealth into smaller parts?

pic/data: https://chess-fan.github.io/blog/#2018jan9d

55% of ChessCoins are owned by 20 addresses:
* the top4 addresses have 25%

see pic/data: https://chess-fan.github.io/blog/#2018jan9c

* in the last 8h: more than half a million coins have been generated
* currently 84% of all coins are mined and distributed.

https://chess-fan.github.io/blog/#2018jan9

About the "whale effect":

* personally, I perceived the whale appearance since yesterday as: negative

* the last whale sighting I experienced was 3 weeks ago (Dec 13, see my old blog: https://github.com/chess-fan/thoughts ), but the net weight there was "only" 80 million. Nothing in comparison to the 2000 million net weight we had now
* when considering other small bag holders waiting "to see" something in the wallet is not good (no matter if you have the possibility for a faucet)
* my last generated block was about 23h ago, I wonder when I will make a new block... the whale(s) do not seem to wanna go away right now, we still have a high net weight.


The donations I got so far are only like 92.5k (and with the prize money for the tournaments I hold, which belong not to me: I am at 134.9k coins)
And my wallet told me yesterday I had to wait 30 days to stake... OMG


Anyways... the current donation motivation by the community do not even bring me stake-wise in a good position (before the masses/investors/chess players would join later on here).

All in all, the "whale coming" made me think:
* I could also just save me all the trouble and be "just" an investor or... use "other options"

just my 2 cents

> I'm also surprised that there's activity here,

I guess I contributed my share for that ;-)


> we can help the new dev in any way

well, I put up tasks people can do:
* https://github.com/chess-fan/MCT


> we can I just hope the old gang could get back here I was only junior member when I'm I participated in this project I'm sure some old investors will come back here and help push the price of chesscoin

for me (and exchanges, ...) is this important:
* the upcoming polls https://github.com/chess-fan/MCT/issues/19
* so "investors" and others should show strong support there
* my plan is to start the polls sometime next week
* everyone should take the time to review before. thx

> it's better that they dumped it

I looked earlier and saw the cryptopia BTC market had so far:
* 0.960897 million CHESS coins for selling
* which would be about 1.3% of all possible coins (max supply)

let's see what will happen

Well, I see the first "urgent" problem as:
* there are probably more "sleeper" addresses (and when the owners do not think wisely, we'd hit the max supply soon :-( and that will bring other effects)

> Price will drop massively. The owner of those addresses will surely sell it out.
I just saw a 20% drop (compared to the last 1h), from 12:37-12:57 already, but that is not something we (or better: I) can influence - directly. That is the "business" of the traders


about: few individuals + website:
* does that not contradict? The main prob seem that only few have the "power" (which needs to be proven also), so no matter what you do this fact would not change
* I explained earlier my motivation for lichess (instead of a new, fresh site): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1510517.msg26975456#msg26975456

cryptopia: 2 of the 3 markets are paused

* https://github.com/chess-fan/MCT/issues/23

Looking at the top61 richest addresses (the data is about 1h old now), I see this:

* the top address staked in 19h: 1.96 million coins
* the 2nd richest address seems to have moved their coins to another address

view pic here: https://chess-fan.github.io/blog/#2018jan6b

we are now at 61.27 million generated coins

Or in other words:
* in the last 15.5h there were created 2.1% of all CHESS coins to exist (max supply is: 74.66 million coins)
* https://chess-fan.github.io/blog/#2018jan6

We've generated 60 million CHESS coins today:

* view image: https://chess-fan.github.io/blog/#2018jan5b
* made possible by whales also, who increased the net weight massively

> There is a max supply, around 74 million

let me say so:
* this is the current setting in the wallet
* on wish of community this can also be changed (but for that: we need another poll with strong support, since it'd change fundamentals)

There is a max supply, around 74 million


We are in the process of reviving this coin...

This is the new site:
* https://chess-coin.github.io

Ongoing roadmap draft:
* https://github.com/chess-fan/MCT/issues/6

Soon come 2 important polls:
* https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1510517.msg27454392#msg27454392

To those who want to really help...
* here you will find tasks you can do: https://github.com/chess-fan/MCT



merci


merci

As said earlier:

* we all have different views, we just need to find a common ground... somewhere :-) And... it will be found over time...
* if people wanna waste their time with "fighting", they can do that, it's "their" time

It has been 10 days since I announced these 2 poll drafts for review...

* poll 1: Do you think the current dev Isolani159 will ever return AND make again something productive for ChessCoin?
* poll 2: Do you support chess-fan as new lead for the ChessCoin project?

https://github.com/chess-fan/MCT/issues/19

If you didn't read yet, please do so... I'll soon start the polls!
