Faircoin trading, deposits and withdrawals just disabled on Bittrex for the new wallet and blockchain change! 

We are in the block  94541.  only 72 blocks until  94613. In this block old blockchain will stop and we will migrate to SHA in a new blockchain!

Follow in https://chain.fair-coin.org/chain/FairCoin

That will include me 

That will help non-technical people who can't find appdata. We don't want to lose their support.

Today is the great day of 1.5 wallet!

-------------------------------------------
What do you need to do

On thursday, the 26th of February 2015 at block height 94613 all versions older than v1.5.0 are obsolete and must not be used any more. It is best to avoid using the old wallet the entire day, although it is possible to use it until block 94613 occurred on the network. At around 19:00 - 23:00 UTC the new wallet will be available for download here: http://fair-coin.org/index.html#wallet

 After you have downloaded the new release, please follow the guide below.

   1.  Make a copy of your wallet.dat file and store it at a safe place! Write down the FAIR balance that is displayed in your old wallet.
   2.  If you haven't done yet make a copy of your wallet.dat file and store it at a safe place!
   3.  If you missed step one and two, make a copy of you wallet.dat file and store it at a safe place!
   4.  Now, after you made a copy of your wallet.dat file and stored it in a safe place, delete the entire FairCoin data directory
  5.   Start the new wallet and let it download the new block chain. This takes about 10 to 30 minutes depending on your internet connection and your computers performance. (Your balance will NOT be displayed yet, so don't worry!) Also, you should not create a FairCoin.conf file, it is not needed.
   6.  After your new wallet successfully synchronized to the network, stop it
   7.  Copy your old wallet.dat file (you made a backup copy of earlier) to the newly create FairCoin data directory
   8.  Start the wallet again and it will display your complete balance (if your balance differs from the one your wrote down please contact us at [email protected])

Please note that there will be timely gap of about 1 to 3 hours between the end of the old block chain and the availability of the new wallet version because we have to convert the hole block chain and build and deploy the new binary release. This means that the old and the new version can not be used at the same time, because the new wallet does not work on the old block chain and vice versa.

Faircoin appears brefly in an article about the evolution of Bitcoin here

Yes, but only if you haven't moved or minted coins from the initial distribution (1000FAC each) yet.

No, there is no need to move your coins to an exchange. As long as you have a recent backup of your wallet.dat file, everything will be alright!

Also, I'm working to extend the wallet to detect an old FairCoin data directory and automatically creates a new directory for the user and renames the old one, which means that there is actually no risk of loosing anything.
