- Recommended coin swap features to prevent scams -
After watching CANN having troubles due to a coin swap, I have come up with ideas so that this problem never happens again.
There are two main features that are necessary to prevent someone from abusing DOPE with a coin swap.
1) Luckily DOPE has kept the same character "4" as the first letter in a public address. This has allowed me to successfully import my android wallet, paperwallet and windows .dat file into the new DOPE v3. This allows the person who pre-mined all of the coins for DOPE v3 to successfully and anonymously deliver all DOPE to users without any user interaction.
GREAT NEWS!2) The original DOPE v1 & v2 blockchain must be supported through a block explorer or problems will occur in the future when people want to know where coins came from.
Currently DOPE has not done either of these steps so the current coin swap is considered a SCAM
You really need to settle down. Aaron has been working his ass off to restore DOPE and bring it new glory. He has kept open lines of communication via this forum and the #dopecoin IRC the entire time. I have been having issues since Friday, for whatever reason, that the 2.1 DOPEcoin client would no longer synch. I tried everything I could to get it to synch to no avail. I'm having trouble synching other wallets now as well so I'm sure the issue is on my end (although DOPE3 synched right up!). Aaron was professional enough not to tell me to go fuck off and tried to help in whatever way he could through IRC even as the countdown to DOPE v3 expired. I'm sure he was very busy at the time and had better things to do than help some nublet with his wallet. I have MILLIONS of DOPE left in my old wallet and I'm not freaking out and acting like a little bitch.
There is no reason for the devs to run off with anyone's coin. There's only 4 btc holding up the order book at bittrex and I'm sure much less at allcoin and c-cex. Aaron has not been working day and night on this wallet for a month for him and dopecoindude to run off with a couple of btc each. I'm sure there will be complete and open transparency with the balance of leftover coin from DOPE 2.1. Everyone knows what is at stake after watching the CNN/CANN debacle last month.
As far as ninja launch goes. It didn't happen. I mined blocks with my cpu. The diff stayed very low for at least two hours. I think monoxide was the only one mining a gpu for quite a while (congrats dude). Aaron was quoted in IRC as saying he didn't feel like dealing with the heat of firing up his 7990s.
Granted, there could have been a longer timeframe for everyone to get their coins over to exchange between the time it was announced and the time it actually happened but you know what? They needed to get this DOPE rocketship blasted off and headed toward orbit. DOPE was mired in missed deadlines, broken promises, abandoned, and left for dead long enough. You don't think this is the end, do you? All this hard work that has been put in is only step 1. DOPE's best day is ahead of it, not behind it.
Originally, anyone who missed the swap deadline was only supposed to get .9 to 1 for their DOPE but after considering the short timeframe they decided to do a 1 to 1 trade now for a limited timeframe. This was the right and professional thing to do. This whole mess doesn't hurt anyone but Aaron who has to now deal with the aggravation of doing manual swaps for people like me and defending his hard work from trolls like you.
Also, in regards to any stake that might be minted from the holding wallet for the old coins between now and the time they are claimed, so what? If they say those coins will be used for bounties, pegging or whatever, I believe them. Personally, I would have no problem if they put them in their pocket because this fucker was dumpster done until they got involved.
If you still want out, you can exchange all your coins with Aaron manually and sell them at the bid. I hear ROScoin is coming out with an innovative new feature called Proof of Nut that you might be interested in investing your btc in.

Now, if all your concerns have been addressed, kindly STFU.
