Dear Friends, I got 1Million Funk frim Cryptopia.co.nz
Do i need swap them or do anything?
please help me
thanks

Yes, it's pretty quite again but I think they are actually working on it. I just hope they can also get sonic directly listed on Cryptopia...otherwise the swap/burn might not be worthwhile for anyone. It's to bad we're losing such an old blockchain, but it might be for the best !

Wrong. FUNK will be burned for real actually. Those who decide to burn it for Soniq will have to send FUNK to unspendable address. Those addresses will be published and they lack private key, so the coins will be deducted from supply for good.

So we'll send FUNK tokens to a burn address (good for the remaining FUNK) and get SONIC for them (good for new project).

Sounds like a win-win for both projects 

I thought you are the dev!?

https://chainz.cryptoid.info/funk/ still working well. How long we have android funk wallet ?

Your English is good actually
To answer your question - no, not by default. You will be able to convert your FUNK coin to Soniq token though, if you wish and as much as you wish.
We will allow up to 50 billion FUNK coins burned. The window will be open for at least several months, but that's yet to be decided.
Soon, Soniq project team will publish token burning app where you'll be able to submit your email, your soniq address and provide you with funk address.
FUNK coins you send will then be deducted from total supply (burned) and new, Soniq tokens will be sent your way.

I hope this helps clarify things a bit

And you, try not to be so disrespectful with the people asking questions here (especially when you do not know the answer)... BTW, you did not answer anything about my question. Good luck with your token. I've heard of them for long three years.

Since we won't use the old chain anymore (and some people want to keep the old chain alive), why not do an airdrop for FUNK holders of the new token instead of a swap?
It has many advantages:

- For holders; you get both tokens
- For FUNK supporters; airdrops drive the value up, you get new tokens without giving up on FUNK and the old chain continues to exist
- For SONIC supporters; you can sell your FUNK for higher prices (because the airdrop drives up value) and get more money to develop SONIC.

Sounds like a win-win-win to me?

Ok, I just tried several times to compile under Ubuntu 16.04, and it won't do it. Boost errors. I tried installing the ancient version of Boost that it calls for in the docs, Still get the same errors. I can probably set up a vm with an old version of Ubuntu and compile that way, but this is going to cause problems. Makes me wonder if that's why Cryptopia has had the wallet in maintenance since before the current meltdown?

There needs to be a code update to bring it current. Boost has changed, and various things are going to break because of that. I haven't sufficient skill to do this, but if somebody in the Funk community wants to make a new branch and update it, I'm more than willing to test the code.

Note, I'm not talking fundamental changes here, nothing to the protocol. Just an update from the four year old codebase.

Wow, am so happy seeing all these comments. @soundposition, Can you please work hand in hand with these people.

What we all need is to see Funk doing well and not empty promises without results

I'd suggest @soundposition. Can you please create a telegram(Or any other) group and send link to these people even Hashunlimited, fix a date and time, then resolve this once and for all then update us.

Alright! This gives me something to work with

So, given that, This is what I'm thinking.

One, tokenizing a piece of it kind of makes sense, gives basically a side chain. That's a whole different animal from totally destroying the original chain.

Two, block reward. Now we get into fork territory.

My suggestions above are solid, I think, so I'll kind of do a list here. I'm willing to try to do some of this, but it would be a little at a time. Then again, there's no hurry

1. KGW is causing problems. It's a good idea, but either the number of miners needs to get bigger and more stable, or there needs to be a modification to the wallets that can readjust diff over time. 1-2 days between blocks when some idiot turns a bunch of ASICS on for one block screws the utility of the coin. So, I would suggest leaving KGW, because it does tend to discourage the hit and run multipool market (though that is less of a problem than it was a few years ago), but adding code to an upgraded wallet that incrementally decreases the difficulty over time so that block times are never more than two hours.

2. Algorithm. Scrypt is the reason why KGW has the problem. Point one is simply a wallet upgrade, not even really a fork. It would require a mandatory upgrade and code to exclude previous versions of the wallet, so a soft fork. But hard forking the algorithm to something that is NOT vulnerable to loose cannons with large asic devices would solve the problem altogether. It IS a hard fork, but doesn't change the coin fundamentals. If we went in this direction, it would negate the need for point one. KGW would function just fine for, say, Prime or Groestl. Both are pretty CPU centric. This also helps with decentralization, especially if it's a CPU hard algo. Because frankly, if it's a cpu only coin, any wallet holder can mine and is likely to get blocks. Keeps the chain moving smoothly and spreads the wealth.

3. Accelerate the reduction of the block reward at the same time as the hard fork of the algorithm.

Why I think this would be useful:

Point one is a bandaid. It stops the chain from sticking for hours to days at a time and serves no other purpose. It's also relatively easy to do. So, I actually conceive this as multi stage. Do that first, and it solves the chain sticking for the short term. It doesn't stop people from manipulating the chain, though. I think at the moment, the sudden spikes in diff are accidental. Kids with a new toy. But a deliberate bad actor could play the system and gather the majority of the rewards by playing that game, and my "fix" would make that more true if it were left for a long term. So first, kick in a timer that reduces diff if X number of minutes have passed without a block. This buys time for more serious development.

In conjunction with your token launch, either simultaneously or within a short time, fork the chain to a CPU hard algo AND reduce the block reward. Or at least change the targeting, so it reduces FASTER. This solves the longer term supply problem. Leave the cap the same, but make the reward halving happen faster. This would actually attract miners, as they would want to hit the higher rewards while they exist, which would help to build a stable network.

And of course, promotion Any musicians out there, talk to your friends, get 'em to get involved, take FUNK as payment, etc. I'm sure Sounposition's folk have that in mind already, given that they're building a Token.

And more immediately, start looking to get both the token and the coin on more exchanges. Nova is dead, Yobit has a coin with the same ticker, but it ain't FUNK, and who knows what's going to happen with Cryptopia. They've closed all pairs that trade FUNK with no ETA on their return. I don't think it is malicious or permanent, but it demonstrates the vulnerability of only one trade outlet.

I am considering starting a small exchange myself. I have most of the skills, if I use PEATIO, but I'm not sure I want to dedicate the time it would take. Or more to the point, I'm not sure I CAN dedicate that kind of time But if there is sufficient interest, I'll start looking more seriously at it. And of course, as a small exchange, I could do some interesting pairs

Also, I want to point out that I am NOT in any way endorsing a 'takeover' of this coin! I believe that Soundposition is qualified to lead here, and I will support whatever decisions his team makes. I reserve the right to bitch, but I won't interfere. I'll help if I can.

I would like to see a LOT more development of the music side. I'm a heavy metal vocalist myself, and this seems like it could be a great way to collaborate with a great many diverse musicians. All music genres are improved by exposure to and dilution with other forms. Individual exceptions aside, fusion works!

Even Rap and Country have been improved by outside influences. Granted, in those cases there was nowhere to go but up, but the point remains.
