May I suggest the following:
1. Update the Source code page and indicate this is a mandatory fork and specify which block number it took effect at.
2. Start a new Tips thread, use the existing graphics and explain why the fork was necessary.
3. Contact BTER and NOVA exchange and implore them to switch to the new wallet and block chain.
4. I've already contacted Yobit about a listing and I'll contact Alcurex - because for all we know BTER was in on the scam taking place in the old wallet
5. We can also contact Bleutrade - they're receptive to new coins.
6. Get the Windows Wallet done asap - there are people mining in my pool, but unless they can compile the linux code, they have no place to transfer their coins to.
any other ideas would be helpful because we now have a shiny new wallet and block chain that's not susceptibel to the Orphan hack, but no place to trade the coins.
We also need a Block Explorer and I can take the lead on getting that done right now.
However - I think a new Thread is the most important.
who want to take responsibility for some of these things?
thanks
Thanks for your suggestions and again thanks for your efforts and work put into bringing TIPS back on exchanges.
1.
We can't update the old repo as only invisibel had access to it and he can't be reached. The new repo is up2date and I hope that either teillagory or testbug update the OP very soon.
Regarding the blocknumber this took effect: There is no hard number as I understood Ahmed, ACP kicks in when necessary, eventually causing a forge. The worst thing that owner of the old wallet can experience is getting onto a fork caused by the attacker.
2.
That is something testbug and teillagory who maintain the OP should decide. There are currently already a bunch of TIPS threads, beginning a new one won't help the occasional users to find the right one (check how many post in the old threads). But I see your point of starting from scratch at this point.
3.
As I understand this has been done already and NOVA even already listed TIPS.
4.
I will poke halibit with a tiny stick to see if we can get him to trust the TIPS chain again. I am pretty sure Yobit wants somebody to cough up money first, but its definitely worth a try. I also do not count on BTER to update their wallet, their no-withdrawal policy got really suspect over time.
5.
The more the better.

Agreed, we are trying hard, though the old wallet is still usable. It is most important that miners/pools and exchanges use the new version.
Ok
psycodad I have a few ideas. We need to contact with TIPS pool owners. I have not see yet owners of pooltobe (PCFIL), Hash-to-coins and Multipool.us. I suppose that thise gues can help us if they will update they wallets to a new version and will make links on they pools mainpages to this thread, talking, that TIPS have an updated source code and sending TIPS to BTER is unreliably. Also, what pools of TIPS do you know? We need to contact them. Due to this manipulations we forced BTER to update wallet or close TIPS deposit. This actions decrease deposits on bter.
Also, for good aim, may be people will start collecting donations for Yobit?
And for new exchange may be will contact with poloniex?
Somebody can buy me order on Novaexchange?) I am ready to decrease the price there. After selling this order I will ready to make a donation to Ahmet (he did his work well) and donation for Yobit
