It will sync, just a bunch of orphaned blocks due to forks when the network stopped.
I'll go ahead and request for a bootstrap to enable people sync on time without worry.

Explorer is syncing. It'll take a little time because there are lots of blocks to sync (about 968069 blocks to sync ).

Actually, the wallet they released isn't v1.0.1.0 but v1.0.0.0.
We are using the same version number because there isn't any real change but addition of nodes so the wallet remains pretty much the same with v.1.0.0.0.

• We have settled on moving to Waves platform

For now the network is stable at least.
I'm still discussing the swap and i have suggestions from my dev about Waves being a better option to Eth we haven't concluded yet as this is long term and i also need to be sure it's an option i can handle.
Another thing to is that i've gotten a dev for the mobile app so i believe we are going to get it sooner than planned.
I don't know how the waves integration works but i just hope it all comes out together without giving them much problems.
Had a busy day at work but hope to put some write ups together for the new forum thread and Website. I have already registered a domain for the Website and hope to have it completed soon.
I'll provide update in a couple of hours on which blockchain we settle on.

The new Website is coming on good and so far the network has been stable. Explorer will also come then we can communicate with Exchange to update their node.

Wallets will be released in coming days but you can compile one from the new github repo.

The new repo we shall be working from is located here.

https://github.com/famecoin

You can clone the repo and compile ahead of the wallet update as this repo contains all accessible seednodes.

Procedures will be posted here including wallet update.
We have some nodes up already and hoping to get explorer up and running before i'll contact the exchange to update for new nodes.
We focus on the website next then I'll make official announcement on a  new thread towards the swap to ETH token.

Glad to hear some support @mitchellmint, indeed you we could work together including anyone showing some interest to see this project realized.
I have purchased 2 servers from vultr a couple of days ago and they are being setup.
I'll like to see the explorer also come up so we can see some transparency in these whole procedure ahead of the swap.
I'll provide updates as and when things are sorted out one after the other.
When we finally move to ETH tokens, all these will be behind us and we'll begin to see positive results.

I am serious about this initiative.
Work has already started, new source repo and wallet will be posted and exchange will be contacted to activate wallet for withdrawal.
in a matter of days everything will begin to unfold.

Dear Famecoin Community,

As a community member and an investor for that matter, I hereby inform you about a takeover of the Famecoin project.
I shall oversee the development, operations, and launching of the Famecoin application.
I will also like to make an appeal to other members who will like to join me in making this project successful as I strongly believe in its idea of creating a tipping photo sharing app.
I'll hire a developer to help in this course and add extra hands if need be.
After going through this thread a couple of times and looking through other references, I strongly believe that the current blockchain must migrate to a token on the ETH blockchain.

Some Benefits of Migrating to the ETH blockchain include but not limited to

• A solid ETH backbone with no blockchain development (ETH team takes care of Blockchain development)
• Saves us cost and Freedom from maintaining our own blockchain
• Provides the developer with enough room to focus on Smart contract development on the viral tipping

 
To do:
1. Build a solid roadmap for a successful project
2. Get a new repo and a developer to begin work on migration
3. Create a new thread, website and build a strong community towards a successful project
4. Stabilize the network, contact exchanges and prepare for a swap on the ETH Network
5. The photo sharing app smart contract development should begin after successful migration to ETH tokens.

Any community member good at writing articles, graphic design, development, management, marketing and willing to support voluntarily should pm me.

*Old developers addresses will be blacklisted from ETH token swap.
