XDN, BCN, and DashCoin all updated their code after the Monero article.
It is a simple matter to merge a few lines of bug fix into the code. If the original dev returns he can fix his repo, otherwise the community can move on without him (if people care to bother).
No one should ever send their coins to some unknown stranger on this forum whether said unknown stranger claims to be doing a 'coin swap' or not.
If you want to do a legit swap, then find a very trusted member to collect the old coins, with the condition that they will be returned if the coin swap is not successful.
Agreed, User "weedgalz" seems to be doing this to all cryptonotes, not sure about his intentions, but since Nicnac and Murzibia appeared this team of users are quite suspicious.
You can just fix it on current chain. Why a swap? Also as far as i know forknote doesn't have XDN support.
just finished last batch of swaps new batch will be processed in 12 hours. if you have any questions PMs. Have ready wallet and transaction ID
