Cryptsy was what everyone wanted, allcoin will update from main website we control now so they are confirmed and will be checking tomorrow for updates. Some exchanges are doing follow ups, and some pools seem dead or un accessable.

Any pools we are forgetting? Are the pools above confirmed dead the ones that we can't access?

Still working on multipool issue to get p2pool software working/no issues.

Also about confusion and contacting pool operators more then once. I have reached out to a few of them that no one else had, and no we don't want this to turn into a spam fest but any unconfirmed pools if anyone knows people within pools or exchanges please contact them and direct them to organization thread below.

http://www.reddit.com/r/flappycoin/comments/23n2uy/organization_for_23rd_of_april_and_hardfork/

I will be working towards organizing everyone and pools/giving concrete information and time frames going forward. If I missed any pools or exchanges we need to contact them sooner than later.

Thank you for all your support everyone. Updated main threads with confirmations and emails I have received, I will try to reach out in other ways as well.

People are wondering about issues like exchanges.

This is tricky to answer. In all facets you shouldn't have to take coins off exchanges because if the exchange updates with us there will be no problems.

A few things to suggest would be to stop doing transactions for at least a 2 days period during the hard forking. This is crucial, if you send a transaction during a hard fork you can't ensure which fork it ends up on, and this can cause a loss of coins. Waiting ensures safety.

To give a concrete answer: Personally I don't take chances, I took coins off exchanges and backed up all my personal wallets. However I shouldn't of had to do this, but to ensure no issues for myself I did.

See what I mean by tricky to answer? If you are on an exchange that has confirmed they are doing this change over with us, it's fine. Keep coins there and wait. They will handle backing up and ensuring wallet software works perfectly. If you are at all paranoid, take coins off exchanges and ensure you backed up your wallet.

Another quick thing to mention is you never keep all your coins on an exchange, or a single exchange anyway. Exchanges have been known to fail, and while most exchanges are reputable and you have nothing to worry about, you never put your eggs all in one basket. You only keep money in places you don't have direct access to you are willing to lose. I only keep roughly 10% of coins on exchanges, and even then I spread that 10% to multiple exchanges.

Miners should be interested because originally the point of cryptocurrency is to be decentralized. Knowing people don't do things for free, but a lot would the whole incentive of mining for a profit came into being and at this point is all people care about.

We understand that, but it must also be understood at the amount coins are/we're being produced; the coin will continue to have no value and move down in value. So either way that results in miners leaving and we have seen that trend for the past month.

Initially we will have a lot of people jump ship that are miners, this isn't a halving but an entire restructuring. A lot of other problems are resulting in online wallets that ended up being scams and either stole peoples coins, or lost the coins. So in the end, we don't know how many coins are effectively in circulation. Some estimates and analysis are saying while there are 48 billion coins in circulation, only half are being move, 1/4th are locked/unaccounted for and haven't moved forever. This probably means a large portion is horded, or completely lost which is possible due to corruption of wallet data and people losing interest/letting projects die.

This couldn't continue and the only solution was major organizing and restructuring. We ask miners stay as long as possible but this isn't something that's going to be overnight and I hope a lot of people fully understand that. The forking can occur quickly, we have support by mining pools and exchanges so it ultimately comes down to how everything is going to adjust afterwards.

We no longer want this coin to be a pump and dump. That's not fair and every cryptocurrency nearly turns into that. We have ambitious plans, and we will be working on real solutions to return it to a real value, and turn it into a currency. Not a whole "Hype for a month then dump" type of thing.

I hope this helps give a realistic explanation to changes and realistic view on why these changes are occuring. The coin was slowly wisping away, either way eventually miners leave, but our best chance is to do something rather then let it rot away.

POS seems extremely interesting but also seems extremely ambitious. We will be looking into it in the future but that is not something that can be promised out of the gate.

Thank you for all your concerns and if you have any other questions please don't hestitate to ask. We love our miners, they are our network, and most of the miners understand we are doing this ultimately for everyone including them.

Just getting back. I am going to go through the thread now and answer peoples questions.

For the 50 billion thing, that can not be done any more. It was originally the plan but due to this whole problem it is looking like the cap is going to be around 60-65 billion. 50 billion might of been way to short sighted.

I will be addressing all concerns and getting in contact with people now.

As for launch I am thinking we most likely can organize this for 8 P.M. (20:00 h) (GMT+700) and I will update everyone with the specific time as Wednesday or the 23rd can be a wide range.

* Well if you cap @ 100 billion and you add ur POS you secure the network for now what it will by you some
Time a good year then what ? Ur back where you started trying to get this coin some value.

Well that's true also i'll watch it for sure and hopefully you will work it out somehow!

VERY COOL WEBSITE!

Here's Coins Source's Flappycoin review:

http://www.coinssource.com/crypto-coins/flappycoin/

Dub, the problem is no one is interested in this coin right now because the price is so low and it's becoming hard to sell. I think miners will be interested if the price increases. We may lose some miners initially but I fail to see a better option for reviving this coin other than changing the cap (100 billion being patently absurd.)

If POS functionality is added, that will be a way of securing the network.

50 billion hasn't been totally set in stone yet AFAIK. I think all that's included in tomorrow's update is a block reward reduction, not a firm cap yet - the new dev said earlier that a cap would be finalized later.

That means advantage only to early adopters doesn't it? Why should miners be interested into this coin after the hardfork?

POS integration will be awesome thing

Multipool

POS+POW is nice choice

I think the immediate goal is to curb the massive oversupply. 2 billion could last a while longer yet if you look at how sharpy they are cutting the block reward with this update. Maybe we can implement POS in the near future.

just dont undetstand how FLAP will be capped to 50 bill. coins because more than 48 bill. flappycoins is already in circulation ?
