I was able to run a client using old bootstrap data.
Chain is running fine up to 1.6M blocks.
Check if you wallet is recognized with this true revival.

I am an original Luckycoin holder,
however I was investing not only in LKY, but also in BTC in 2014, so I don't need to post here for money.
You will be surprised, but I am ready to spend money for listing original LKY on normal exchanges and on pools.
I have a thought of hiring lawyers to check if everything is okay with this "revival", when funds disappear.
However, for now I am just trying to find a normal solution, which could take into account interests of majority of holders, including buyers of new LKY.

If Bells did the same "revival"  (don't know much about it though), I agree that it was a fraud too. When we were talking with you in another thread, you agreed that this LKY "revival" is "garbage" and you told that you're not involved with that:

From the start this was advertised as Luckycoin restarted at block XXXXX because the chain had essentially been mined by one person for the majority of the last decade, correct? So why after someone on twitter discovered they were able to sync the longer chain did all exchanges freeze deposits and blame some replay attack? The exchanges are older than the fork, there is no risk to them. They just stopped deposits, crashed the market and are killing this coin because they didn't research what they were listing?


There doesn't even seem to be a replay attack just a few transactions that coins be rebroadcast from old wallets. From our perspective, there is some coordination to only let certain people sell this coin.

Transactions differ, some inputs are the same
because they occured in July, 2013, before the fork point (November, 2013).
That means they belong to the part of chain from 2013 which is the same for both chains.

Here we can see that coins were received in 2013 and spent completely in 2015, but on a new chain which doesn't include blocks from 2015 - they could be spent again and that happened (with same inputs from July, 2013).

Luckycoin is listed on the reputable block explorer service:

Their block explorer is on the longest LKY chain, historical, original one.

What block number are you up to?


Anybody can do what you did. You can take an old version of Bitcoin, fire it up & be the only miner on the network. Same thing for hundreds of altcoins.

Hello, I have an amount of this currency mined in 2014, but due to the lost blocks the wallet does not update, confirm the transactions received in the wallet, is there no possibility of recovering these blocks?

LuckyC created LKY and left it shortly after pump-and-dump was finished, not caring about the fact that the first wallet had critical security issues: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=214614.msg2540519#msg2540519

Luckycoin security update was made by Titan (one who created this ANN thread):

Titan was in charge for several versions of wallets, for ACP (advanced check pointing system, preventing 51% attacks) which was implemented in November, 2013,
additionally for OpenSSL heartbleed fix in v1.0.1:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=214614.msg6163819#msg6163819

The latest stable version 1.0.1 was in use since 2014 and the wallet has been working flawlessly for many years:

Hi

When someone revives a coin, it is obvious that you have to revive it from the last block of the longest chain,
to include all transactions - that guarantees all funds are safe, all is fair.

In case with LKY, "revival" made a hard fork from the block deep in the past (found on Nov, 25, 2013), 11 years ago.
After this block there is a gap to August 2024. All coins accumulated since Nov, 25, 2013 till August 2024 are not present in the new chain.

Then it is a question why that was made in a so strange way, with so much evil for many holders.
Why just not revive from the latest block with all those transactions happened since Nov, 25, 2013 included?

One who made a "revival" probably owned LKY in Nov, 2013 and then sent coins to Cryptsy exchange wallet when there was a famous pump called "Remember the moon in November".
Then sold LKY on Cryptsy to investors who were buying Luckycoin. So, investors paid their BTC and got LKY after Nov, 25, 2013 - on Cryptsy platform and then sent LKY from Cryptsy to their wallets - after Nov, 25, 2013.

But if you restart the project from the block found on Nov, 25, 2013, when coins were present in the wallet of one who sold them on Cryptsy later, the person again owns the coins which were sold many years ago, and is able to double spend them now.
While investors, who bought coins many years ago, don't have them any longer, because these transactions are not present in the new chain.
That looks like a new, uncommon type of double spend, with 11 year gap, hidden under "revival" idea.

That is just a logical explanation of why the block in the deep past was chosen to "revive" the project.
Even if it is not exactly what happened, anyway investors were buying LKY in 2014 and later, now their holdings are not present in the chain, and new investors are buying the same concept.
So, in any case it looks like double selling of one concept (under one name, logo, story) - because previous buyers automatically lost their share in LKY project.

from the block 81,743 (Nov25, 2013)? lky was pumped on cryptsy in November 2013 and sold to many accounts in 2013-2014, and now forking from the point before that, hidden double spend with 11 year gap

That doesn't exist anymore.


Is there a Discord where I can see what Billy has said about the New Bells? Has he actually supported it? If so, I'd like to see what he said.


You should start a new thread of your own and stop trying to deceive others into thinking your Bells has anything to do with this one.

edit:

Like, have you no shame at all? Obviously not. Anyway, I just want to point out that the below statement is 100% lies; you must be a complete piece of shit to support this scumbag scammer in any way:

Again, none of this has anything to do with the fraud you're peddling. Your Bellscoin is literally forked from Dogecoin:

For the non-technical minded, here's a great article that explains why the New Bells is a fraud:

https://theogoodman.medium.com/the-truth-about-bellscoin-and-og-memecoins-505bc5925a79

Here's the 3 things you need to know, which have been explained previously in this thread:

- the New Bells block #1 is from December 2023 (all previous chain history has been wiped, despite continuing for at least 2 years after the 2013 launch date) (happy 1st birthday)
- the New Bells is a fork of Dogecoin (not the other way around as these scammers keep insisting)
- there is literally zero connection between the New Bells and the Old Bells, on a technical level.

Buyer bewarned.

This has nothing to do with what you're so desperately peddling. Your Bells is literally a fork of Dogecoin, and not the way around, as you shamelessly continue to try to trick people into believing. How can it be? The first block wasn't mined until Dec 2023. 

You were warned the "Bells revival" project was started by a known grifter, presented plenty evidence, yet chose to ignore it. So now you get to reap what you've sown.

This is what happens when you throw your money into one of the griftiest projects of 2024: you get laughed at by one of the most well-respected devs in crypto.

Cmon man get a grip. You're saying Bells people didn't do it?

Utter retardation. You're good at being a snake though. I'll give you that.

BTW I own neither Bells nor Lucky nor will I ever.
