I have not yet released my ico coins, I will still be able to get my ico coins with the same address after this fork?
Yes. We apologize for the issues but we need to get everyone on the right fork. Don't mine or spend SYS in the next 12hrs to ensure you don't lose anything.
We are planning to fork tonight at 11p EDT; we will have the updated code posted within a few hours and pools and exchanges can begin updating we will communicate when this new code has been posted.
DO NOT MINE OR SEND SYS IN THE INTERIM PERIOD.
ok, fair enough but what happens to the coins that people sent yesterday and did not arrive to exchanges?
Once the exchanges update to the new version once released and get on the correct chain, your coins should arrive at the exchange.
If they were sent on the wrong block chain you can recover the coins from your wallet by dumping the private keys in the wallet and importing private keys back into a new wallet (after backing up your initial wallet of course). Note - if you sent any coins after you received your initial IPO coins from you will need to dump ALL private keys in your wallet - you cannot just use your private key from Moolah as coins may have come back to 'change' addresses -> different private keys.
This is one of the great aspects of crypto currencies. If you send a payment on the correct chain then once the coin gets fixed and the exchanges get back on track your payment arrives. If the coins were sent on the wrong block chain then the transaction never actually happened on the correct chain and you effectively didn't actually send anything. The problem is your wallet thinks a payment was made but seems to not check if they were made on the correct chain or not. By dumping your private keys and importing into a new wallet.dat you are forcing the coin client to analyse the block chain for transactions that occurred on the real chain only.
Seems to be forks all over the place at the moment, so fixing the issue will probably need to wait until the everyone is back on the correct chain.
The point is the coins have not just disappeared!
