The bitcoin wiki and some threads here describe multiple schemes for cross-chain exchange of coins, some of them have proven problems and some of them seem sound - at least I haven't found any problems published.
I'd be grateful for few pointers:
- what's the best published method at the moment? tiernolan's?
- are there any altcoins (besides exocoin) supporting some version of cross-chain trading without external components? with oracles?
- anyone publicly working on it or every dev scratching their own itch?

Thanks in advance!

I've restarted the crons manually about fifteen minutes ago, so the payouts should be recalculated soon.
btw, it's always good to spread the hashrate between pools, check out the other pools also:

EDIT: recalculation done, please check your balances & let me know if there are any discrepancies with your calculations / assumptions

Seems that there's something wrong with my mailservers. I've unlocked your account and rechecking my mail

Good idea, thanks!

JJPasak, I'm sorry that I've managed to miss your support ticket. As your username at the pool must be different (searched for JJPasak), please send me a pm here, send an email to the address given on the front page or hit me up on twitter @digiraha.

Fixed! Give it a few minutes until the payouts have been recalculated.

P.S. Give other pools also a chance

Ickyt2012, I've unlocked your account. Please send your support requests to email or twitter.

Thanks! Fixed it.

Account unlocked

Thanks, David, no need. Please send your gratitude to the new bank, so Mjollnir could use your tip for bonuses etc.

Hi, payouts have been activated

Yes. It will be made available shortly.

In 12 blocks

WTB small amount of prefork coins.

It doesn't have to be a waste. If the community agrees and diff drops in 3 blocks on my chain, I may suspend the pool for the time being and we can continue from 42218+24. There are many options, please keep your criticism constructive.

If someone want's to get on the metistrain - selling some coins at 500MTC per .1BTC

Yes, as the original dev intended - I think 24 blocks to retarget is much better.

No, thanks. If that's okay with you, it should be you, solidchance or someone else. Too much time to go over the smaller details (you may be looking at a buttload of manual payments with little or no compensation/gratitude)

Hi everyone, it's me again.
To clarify some things in last few pages:
- yes, I'm the owner of digiraha pools
- yes, I think I've managed to fix the bug in the instamine fork, but we need to mine three more blocks to be sure - the diff should drop to about 0.2 (new retarget window is 24 blocks, currently there have been mined 21 on "my" fork)
----
- I'm not 100% sure that I've understood the technical side correctly, but at the moment it seems to me that it is possible to drop the previous "bank" from the blockchain - those coins will be stuck in their current position and they can't be transmitted to new addresses. Old dev may try to sell his belongings as a wallet, but those coins couldn't be used. There are some details & tests that I'd need to go over before being 100% confident
- I'm willing to help out as a coder, but I have some terms that we need to go over as a community - first ones that pop into my would be:
1) disposing of the holdings of previous dev
2) mining the new bank to compensate coinedup their losses, if that's what it takes to get relisted
3) forking from the original forkblock at 42218
4) losing of superblocks or fixing their occurences - i'm not ok with predictable superblocks
5) I will compensate my time by mining a bigger block or by taking a donation from community - nothing big, normal dev payment (seems that one bigger block is needed, we have some parties to compensate)

if that's okay with you guys, lets get the ball rolling

I'm quite sure it's possible to fork out the "bank" or any other address in that matter and it shouldn't even be that hard. When you've identified the address that you want to disable, it has to be added as a small fix inside the transaction verification method.
Now the fun part is that transaction inputs do not include the public key of the address from where the coins come from, but they include a reference to the previous transaction. Using the last known transaction from the bank, we can block this input and all is almost golden. Small problem arises - it might be that we effectively block the last bonus given by the dev, but it should be small change compared to the holdings of dev.

So, that's my 2 cents. Might be wrong here, but you'll never know before you've tried.
