latest wallet have problems, I removed it and reinstall 1.02 and get all my coin back which never appeared on the lastest release
calm down buddy, you'll win nothing yelling "scam scam scam"
prohashing FRN explorer is a good one and really work
Well I am happy that someone is responding and questioning in the first place.
@calcifer ... how many FRN do you have / mined / bought ?
I started gathering this coin after reading and becoming fully confident about this coin not being a scam. I ventured into this in-spite of the fact that there is an unmoderated thread (
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/frn-francs-the-unmoderated-thread-1336454) bashing FRN during its launch phase to be a scam. I didn't believe what was written in the thread because it was not fully convincing.
How much I have bought. I have bought >1% as per the top 100 rich list of FRN explorer. That's about ~52K coins with my hard earned money!!
How much I have mined? Well I never intended to mine this coin. I bumped into couple of my friends scrypt antminers so bought it(hard earned again) and started mining about 2 months back. I wanted to do solo since the network hash was not that high . Unfortunately since cgminer was not capable of doing direct solo so I started to learn how to solo. Well I even went to the extent of modifying Eloipool (
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-eloipool-fast-python3-pool-server-software-gbtstratumdyntargetproxy-61731) to use Scrypt algo which was otherwise meant purely for Bitcoin/SHA256. It was really a daunting task for me.
Before even venturing into the task, I did ask in the forum if anyone has any success with Solo using Antminer. I never got any response. So I will disagree here that I always keep yelling scam.
I only wanted to solo so never gave thought about who are the other miners and their hash rates. Well to have good network during solo I even created VPS(again personal investment) in Digital ocean in Amsterdam 2 this is the same network and service provider as FRNs seed node(185.14.184.239).
I even modified uNOMP for stratum mining and overall mined about 12k coins Eloipool+uNOMP in ~35days. These 12k was not butter smooth. I was a victim of BWH attack. I didnt even know such attack exists initially . I was losing coins but initially thought I was doing something wrong with mining so gave the benefit of doubt to FRN team. Then I started monitoring the explorer and the mined blocks and time analysis and orphaned blocks. these are couple of ways to find the BWH attack .
Then I started monitoring the mining addresses(peer miners like me) and my second and third post was to Law/Dev team asking them to validate my theory. I even shared the Mining address and time analysis. Again never yelled scam here. benefit of doubt given to FRN team because I was >1% investor and wanted this coin to succeed. Absolutely no response on my analysis from FRN team. The more I digged deeper into mining addresses, yobit sells, cryptopia sells maping with explorer Francs movements the more things were getting clear that BWH was intentional to keep other miners out of bay . was surely done with FRN teams knowledge.

No denying here. I never wanted to write or show low of the very coin for which I'm an investor/miner. I only was buying since early June '17. but I am happy that I ventured into mining and was able to unearth the findings.
latest wallet have problems, I removed it and reinstall 1.02 and get all my coin back which never appeared on the lastest release
I am not quite sure what you mean here, but i have done a dozens of installation of wallet on ubuntu on my local laptop and in Cloud using Digital ocean. Well I even keep an eye on Github/FRN every week since I started to mine just to be sure that the Codebase has not been updated by Dev team.

If this coin loses I lose my 1%. I am not that insane to do that kind of damage to myself!! Its a considerable investment for me. I was calm all this while and have given more than what we call benefit of doubt to the FRN team. Like I explained above I never called it a scam during my first couple of posts. It was a sincere and urgent request to Law and Dev community to analyze.
Just an additional stats. The day I posted Selfish mining attack by FGjHkLuz3FNxxjNdj2MyjBm5GPQbSY5AZi . He stopped mining(~2days later). Thought it might be a coincidence . The last post from Law on FRNs future plans and quoting that Aggressive miners cannot be stopped, Mr 'FGjHkLuz3FNxxjNdj2MyjBm5GPQbSY5AZi' comes back and happily mining away. I dont think it can be a coincidence this time around.
Lastly I still hold my >1% coins. All this while I didnt want to wake up and listen to my analytical mind. I still wish my theory of 'scam' is incorrect but my analytical mind does not agree anymore!!
