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.
6.
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.
Regarding block explorers: we have actually two, but as it looks they have not updated to the new src yet. If you want to setup another one that certainly is highly welcome.
