I wonder, there are a lot of sites that you can not visit through the Tor Browser. So if the project supposed to provide private internet surfing using Tor technology, that will significantly decrease amounts of sites for visiting. Also, Tor is reeeeeeally slow. How will you solve all these issues?


What I can say is this:
Tor provides an option of what is considered the highest level
of security and privacy we have at our disposal today and
recommended by some of the top minds/talents in the field.
The more people use it the more secure we all are.
I have watched videos on youtube 720P in the KORESurf Tor browser
and some on the Team without plugins. Sure it might inconvenience
a culture that wants instant gratifications but they are not yet ready for us
but the masses are waking up.
People will need to make serious choices.
Whether they want to sacrifice their security and privacy for convenience.
If you want "it all" right out of the gate, it frankly won't happen.
Tor site tells you,.. The most security and privacy is not to use Windows
nor use plugins like flash etc. But what will you be doing and why?
None of my business but based upon the level of convenience
you want, there are options already existing in the form of these plugins.
This is about data collection and your whereabouts being known 24/7
all compiled into the NSA databases.
If you dont mind that, have at it.
For Journalists Whistle-blowers, Activists and the like.
These choices of convenience are a life and death matter.

While having the bittrex wallet disabled is obviously annoying, am i the only one who remember's MM's first timeline a month ago? He said October at the earliest (if everything worked perfectly), November if something came up, and December at the latest.  It's still a week away from November and a lot of unexpected bugs have been conquered.

Things came up.. unfortunately they came up after it looked clear and the swap was started, but crap happens.
I was okay waiting till Nov-Dec (as all of you were, I didn't see objections to that post).

End of October, still waiting patiently.
Maybe a late comment, but it was on my mind here.

I have owned Kore since the start. Back when the original dev was still involved and abandoned the project. MikeMike stepped in, invested his own money and saved the project.  Re: bittrex - they are simply overwhelmed with recent verification requirement changes and btc forks. Patience with Kore is rewarded.

I don't think anyone is doubting how long it takes for Bittrex to get things sorted, Its more to do with how long its taken the team to get this new wallet fixed. The longer it takes the more it feels like there are far more fundamental issues with it.  I still have not sold one coin yet during all this. But, the longer this goes on, the more nervous I, and I am sure others are getting.


Correct.
This is not a Bittrex issue, it is the Wallet bugs we have made much progress on fixing.
I dont blame you for getting nervous. I would too.
Since all we hit were roadblocks for a week we moved onto a different solution
which so far on its first try is working out well.
BUT you know/or you need to know how coding bugs out goes.
Very unpredictable.

WEBSITE IS DOWN
WALLET RELEASE WITH A DELAY OF OVER 11 DAYS
BITTREX WALLET BLOCKED SINCE OCTOBER 13TH
NO REBRANDING
NO MARKETING


CryptoBeto/Crypto VFX,
More lies like this and you will be banned.
This is your last warning.


MikeMike

Well a lot of it is truth and then some of his claims are a bit more dubious. Website is down at least for me at least. Wallet release has been delayed around 11 days after you advertised it in here as being a fairly quick swap (you may not have said this explicitly but it was certainly implied). You mentioned how we should be ready to support the new network and made it quite clear that you thought the whole process would be rather quick.

You very clearly said Bittrex would be suspending trading during the swap, it did not. I based my decision in large part off of this info from you. I figured suspended trading would be a good thing because once trading was re-initiated we would have the good news of a successful swap and price would increase. Instead we are currently sitting at around 80k when the price was at around 120k at the time it was supposedly going to be suspended.

His claim that Bittrex wallet was blocked since October 13th is true or at least close to it. (I think it was the 14th but I could be wrong) On the bright side for me at least I had all my coins on Bittrex and have subsequently been able to cut my losses despite how painful that has been. At my peak I owned over 1% of all Korecoins so I have lost many bitcoins as a result of believing the swap would be relatively painless and trading would be suspended as MikeMike clearly said.

As far as his claim of no rebranding and no marketing I would say this is where he (he being CryptoBeto) is not being completely honest. You have rebranded from Korecoin to Kore although without much fan fair. There was/is the Brazil surfing marketing so you have done something. Personally I believe that marketing a coin this size and at this stage to the general public is a very poor choice but everyone can decide that for themselves. Considering they have to buy Bitcoin just to buy Kore there are simply too many barriers to entry.

Over the last two weeks or so I have come to question MikeMike's judgement. I'm not sure if it is him being disingenuous or simply incompetent. He has gotten too many things wrong for it not to be one or the other. Don't take my word for it, simply read through the thread carefully and make that decision for yourselves.

All that said I wouldn't be shocked if Kore does well but there are simply too many question marks for me to continue. I made the mistaking of over investing in one coin and I have paid the price. (I was pretty much all in on Kore, you can also read my posts earlier in this thread to confirm the validity of my statements) I truly hope I am wrong about MikeMike as I don't want anyone else to suffer the angst I've felt over the past two weeks.

Ultimately I made this post for mostly cathartic reasons as my losses are extensive. I was impressed enough with the team to go virtually all in on this coin but the last two weeks brought me too many question marks. All I ask is that you do your own research and decide for yourself!





Thanks for your critique.
Sorry for any incorrect info that was immediately corrected.
I asked someone with experience and received a wrong answer and it was not Bittrex.
Hind sight and arm chair quarterbacking when you do not have the facts is easy to do
and I do encourage ones to read through the thread and the entire Swap page.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.23506707
I have been and do take full responsibility for this Swap and the Marketing decisions which
actually is a test that proved very successful and obviously we expected the wallet to have been released
and the rest of the plans initiated but we followed through with what we agreed to do and that we could.
The connections made there and the long term benefits will be well worth the effort.
I dont expect you to agree and it is not my desire to please individual people here.
I did clearly mention it is up to the individual whether to keep their coins on the exchange
or remove them and that there could be delays and asked for the cooperation
and patience of the Community and Investors.
You only pay the price when you sell and read my older posts. I suggest to people to never invest
more than they are willing to lose and take the example of some pros
to not invest more than 10% into any one investment.

Unfortunately I have to agree with a lot of this, every day this new wallet is delayed, is another day where all the momentum and confidence that was recently gained gets lost.

The volume is drying up and those that were once keen on this project are slowly starting to doubt it and move on. (those that don't have their coins stuck in the old wallet) I have to give MikeMike the benefit of the doubt in regards to unforeseen issues, but its first impressions that count and so far for potential new investors, it hasn't looked great.  

I just hope we are very near to completion of this new wallet before any more damage is done

I remember the last time I blamed someone (or something) else for my financial desicions, the year was 1985... and I was eleven.  👶

I had been given permission to go on a church field trip to the Cedar Pointe amusement park in Ohio.  A young know-it-all with $80 in his pocket and a love for video games.  My friend and I hit the arcade as soon as we entered the park.  Six hours later and $80 poorer, I realized I had not even eaten an elephant ear... or even entertained myself on any roller coasters or rides!

“Damn you, Gauntlet!.... why have you betrayed me?! “. Is all I thought about on the long bus ride home. It got worse, the church bus stopped at McDonald’s (Who knew how gross it was back then?).  Without even a quarter in my pocket I just walked around to stretch my legs and I found five dollars on the ground! Cheeseburgers never tasted so good! I began thinking about my earlier monetary decisions and realized it wasn’t gauntlet that almost had me miss a tasty McDonald’s burger, fries and a few apple pies....  It was my own doing!

Don’t blame anyone for your financial decisions.  Don’t blame anyone for any of your decisions. You’re not the Gauntlet elf that needs food badly… You’re not being controlled by others. If you invested in this project and did your own due diligence, you would know the team is solid and the tech is solid. Good things come to those who wait, patiently.

Kore team, keep up the great work... your community is behind you all!  

KORE is the core of my cryptocurrency “portfolio”... and I wouldn’t have it any other way!

Would be happy to test the wallet on MAC OS or windows through my windows Wine emulator.

Thanks for the hard work grinding out this high level privacy crypto!  You’ll be sleeping 💤 again soon... promise!

Often the choices that lead me to invest on a coin compared to another are the presence in the main thread of troll users; the more they are, the more they are devious with dev and team, the more I am sure my investment is correct, and I will earn so much money in the future.

Aside from the small joke, I would suggest to Mike losing these users because they just suck your energy and do not let them work freely; they only enjoy seeing suffering, it's their job, day and night, do nothing else .... while you have to work and bring a project forward!

How many kore will be needed for a Masternode? and is there a rough estimate of when the wallet will be enabled on Bittrex? I could of flipped and bought back cheaper instead of watching my investment taking a plunge. Thanks


You need to read the previous posts, currently there is no definitive date. MikeMike well let everyone know at the appropriate time. I think most of us are frustrated with the situation but we just need to wait it out until its sorted.

In respect of your flipping and buying back cheaper, if we had all attempted that it would have crashed the market and we would have all been screwed.

I will intensify the campaign and will use all the captures I have from Mike so everyone cans see the reality.

Could we get this user removed, please? That kind of mud-slinging helps no one and will poison the thread. @MikeMike: I implore you not to react to this guy anymore, it will do no good. Give him the silent treatment.

Having fun taking the price further down, lets see if Mike reacts and gets to work.

Be fore warned CryptoBeto/Crypto VFX,
If you continue to post to induce harm, be abusive and controlling in this thread you will be banned.

Is the PoS and PoW testing the final stage in what you need to do prior to submitting to Bittrex again or is there further issues that need resolving?

Announcements will be made at the appropriate time.

Will keep reposting this post to keep it on the first page in the forum... Read it regularly to find all the updates.


NEW UPDATES IN BOLD:



KORECoin Swap and ReBranding on 10-14-2017
*** How the Community can help make it a Successful Swap!
Please check this post regularly for updates.
* 1- I was just informed by Richie from Bittrex that a Swap takes a couple days.
See the included slack chat posts.
We will do our best to expedite what we can when we can.
I was not aware until now. I'm sure this lengthy process is for all our benefit.
Bittrex has accomplished many Swaps so I trust their guidance.
* Plus they have to do an intensive Code Review to protect their exchange and clients/your assets.
I will keep the Community informed.
* 2- We are running the New Wallet,
Sent it to Bittrex so they can start their arduous in house setup, testing and tie in with their systems.
We assume this could take a few days as Richie had told me...

3- Why will I have a 0 "available balance" and I cant send coins in the new wallet?
All your coins must Mature first, before they are available to send or stake.


4- Update from Huck:
"Dear Kore Community.... a quick update...   there was a minor issue with the wallet when Bittrex attempted to run it.  
In a nutshell the way that they wanted to run it was different than the way that we run ours naturally.
 It has been nice discovering and understanding how Bittrex does things.  Issue has been resolved and Bittrex was able to start the wallet.  
This now leads them into the integration testing portion of this transition. We will hear from them again soon on their progress.
So far no major issues and we have been able to fix the minor ones....
I will post another update as soon as I have one. Thank you everyone and have a great day!!   Huck"

5- UPDATE:
To the KORE Community:
On this update, Bittrex had found an issue on our end which has since been partially resolved. We are diligently working on fully resolving the issue.
We want to thank Richie, Julian and the entire Bittrex Team for their patience, flexibility and desire to have this be a successful swap.
Our goal is to get this resolved effectively and hope for it to coincide with our Public Marketing Strategy we have been working on for some time.
I'm truly impressed and honored to see how patiently the Community is supporting this transition.     MikeMike

6- UPDATE:
"Hello Kore community family...
I just wanted to check in with everyone and let them know that we had a successful day today.
The wallet fixes appear to be holding thus far and we have a stable network again. We are testing with more individuals this time around
and we may be reaching out to the community shortly for some beta testers.
Please understand if we choose you as a beta tester you will have to fully dox yourself as well as sign a nondisclosure agreement.
We are not at that point yet but I promise to alert you  once we get to that point....... Huck"

7- UPDATE:
We did not get enough Blocks to go by to fully test PoW and PoS
so may need another day or two to determine if the fix works.

I waited as long as I could to see if we could get more blocks to go by but we did not.
This is a perfect example of "How Coding & Testing works"... not something easily to put a time frame on.

If this new build tests out fine we then submit to Bittrex and they do their review and integrations and testing on their end.
We do not know how long Bittrex will take after we hand them the source nor when that will be nor if it will pass
their integration and testing though we expect it to. Like the first situation,....
They managed their dir differently so we naturally complied. Nobody was right nor wrong in the first one.
Just different ways is all. Bittrex knows what this means to them and us and so far they have been Awesome! so Hats off to them.  
One thing for sure, I don't ever want to see the Community go through this again.
I'd hate to pull the plug on this Swap and revisit it in 30 days "If Bittrex could fit us in their schedule".
They have been awesome with us and appreciate it.
Shame is my poor decision of trusting a new change we implemented that was actually for the Communities benefit.
We also had some serious circumstances arise I might get into a bit once we get this wallet out.
All we can do is our best.    MikeMike


8- NEW UPDATE:
Dear KORE Community and Family,
Happily our new Wallet build has sufficiently passed our Team Testing, and thanks to those
from the Community working with Huck,... we have moved onto the next step of an additional 8- Beta testers
and we will add a few more.
The next step is having the Community Beta Testers move onto Masternodes testing
and then onto engaging Bittrex.    MikeMike




That is it for this update. If you have not read this entire post please do.  




Support the KORECoin Swap to KORE on 10-14-2017 by loading the new KORE wallet,
mine coins and stake soon as the KORE Team and Bittrex approve to release wallet to Public.

Keep track of your Time Zone here:

Again,... This is when Bittrex will cease trading for KORE so the Team can work with them and test.
It could be many hours before we release the wallet to the Public
and we need your support so keep watch for the post of the release.
* The Timer is when the "snapshot" will be taken of the old chain so don't move coins anywhere 1 hour before timer ends!
We nor Bittrex can be help responsible for lost coins if you do not follow the guidelines.



FIRST and Foremost:

1- Educate yourself on what the Swap means and how it is done.
2- Make yourself available to load the wallet on as many computers as you can, stake some coins "and" mine.
3- Be Patient. Swaps are a ton of work and we are all sleep deprived.
Help us make this easy peasy for all by being supportive, patient and understanding in you comments and actions.
4- Help others. If you see someone in Discord, here, Twitter, Farcebook, Telegram, YouTube etc.
and you have enough skills and knowledge to help them along,... Please do so.
The Team and Community will forever be grateful for your involvement!  Smiley

5- Support the Swap by making this easy on Bittrex. Please do not send tickets in and posting in their Slack
with  "Are we there yet, Are we there yet, Are we there yet" type posts. Bittrex has and will be working
with us closely and best their, and our time and attention remain on the Swap at hand.


6- Support the KORE Team and Community and Investors by your positive actions.
7- Read everything here carefully,... then read it all again and determine what actions
you personally could do to help make this a smooth, positive experience.
8- IF by chance you do have any serious concerns or issues do not plague the Forum or Social Media with them.
Post to myself in Discord, Twitter and here in PM about them. This is the proper professional way to handle such matters.
Not out in a public venue. We will then determine the best course of action and inform the Community ASAP of anything critical.


Questions:

1- Why is there a Timer?
The Timer shows when Bittrex will cease KORE Deposits, Withdrawals and the start of the time the Team
will be working with Bittrex to get the new Wallet up to date and test with them prior to the release to the Public.

The Timer is also to notify people to cease all KORECoin Transaction, Support the Swap
by installing the new wallet ASAP once the Team and Bittrex approve the New Wallet release to the Public.
We don't know how long this testing will be. Could be many and a few days.
Please read Bittrex swap post carefully. It explains this clearly.

This does not mean things are going badly.
Just we are doing testing with Bittrex prior to the release to the Public.

2- Are my coins safe on Bittrex?
The Team and Bittrex have done much planning to make this a smooth transition no matter where you coins are.
The responsibility and decision to leave them there is entirely up to you.
3- What do I need to do to have the new wallet show my coins in it?
Pay attention to the public release of the wallet, download it ASAP, Start it up, shut it down,.....
NOTE:  Only create a new password for the new wallet IF you do not have an old korecoin wallet. Your old password will work.
.....go to your hidden files and folders to the KoreCoin folder, copy the wallet.dat file,
go to the new Kore folder for the new wallet that is labeled Kore, paste the wallet.dat file in that folder.
Start up your new Kore Wallet, wait for it to have connections and test your password.
4- Will KORE put out videos to help with this transition?
Yes and we do hope we will have enough time while testing with Bittrex so it will be the real thing.
5- How do I setup Masternodes?
The concept is from DASH but we will provide a guide at the release.
We hope to have a video too but this may be in the few hours after the release due to time constraints.
6- How many coins are required for a Masternode?
The amount of coins will be announced at the release of the new wallet to the public.
7- Can I run a Masternode from one location or do I need a VPS?
Masternodes can run from one location but must have different IPs/VPN on one and both are accessible to the Internet 24/7.
8- Will KORE experience a disaster during the Swap like we have seen with some coins taking days and weeks?
The KORE Team have done all we could (under the circumstances) to make this Swap a smooth one and so will Bittrex.
IF for some unforeseen reason the new wallet swap does not perform as designed Bittrex has backups,
The Team will make themselves fully available during the testing with Bittrex and
we do expect to have any issues that may arise remedied in an Emergency ASAP fashion.
9- Where should I post to suggest changes or additions to this most important post?
Please PM me here, in Discord or on Twitter and thanks for them in advance!  Smiley
10- Why does Bittrex take so long to do Swaps?!
First, Bittrex Must complete an Intensive Code Review to protect their exchange
and YOUR BTC and KORE/their clients assets. They/We Appreciate your understanding
how serious this first step is and your patience. Then they must load the Wallet,
do intensive Testing and integrate it into their exchange.
11- When should I stop sending coins anywhere?
One hour before the snapshot is taken which is at the stop of the Timer.
12- What if I send coins after the one hour deadline and they get lost?
Neither KORE Team nor Bittrex can be held responsible for lost coins. We can only try to help you recover them is all....
You bear full responsibility.
13- Why will I have a 0 "available balance" and I cant send coins in the new wallet?
All your coins must Mature first, before they are available to send or stake.
14- Can I trade Korecoins on Bittrex while waiting for the Swap to complete
and will all transactions be there after the swap is completed?
Yes.  Smiley

NOTE: I give you my assurance KORE is here for the long run and no matter what,...we will be a Honey Badger!  Wink





The Entire KORE Team and Bittrex appreciates your unwavering cooperation and undying support during this transition!
 Smiley Smiley Smiley
Cheers!


MikeMike
