How do we go about getting CoinedUp to resume trading?
Is there a fixed Windows wallet?
The new reward/coin price appear to put the coins security in jeopardy due to the fact that miners to not give away hash power and now the coin can not attract a large enough diverse enough network hash given the current reward.
Assuming the benchmark pay rate is Litecoin, the new sustainable net hash for KDC will settle out at 100 Mh/s or so with the price @ .0000365 on Poloniex (excluding the .2% exchange fee).
The next time a fork is planned, it might be a good idea to playbook it with the other stakeholders including the exchanges, and pools comprising 70% of the net hash.
What will be done to address these fatal issues that now exist?
We have mailed Coinedup that new source code is available, Windows Wallet is being compiled (You can compile it yourself if you want)
It has been one day since fork how about you calm down and lets settle one thing at a time?
We have taken every step we had to take after this bad fork happened, we can only wait to get added back at Coinedup.

Surely the massive reduction in network hash was anticipated with the drastic reward reduction. Proof of work isn't free for the miner to generate you know.
1Mh/s is worth ~$4 USD/day.
The drastic reward reduction will not support a large network hash at current prices, and
reward reduction will not significantly improve the coins value.
I am calm, but
the relationship of reward and supported network hash should have been well understood before the fork.
Let us define a few things:
(R)eward per day of the network in KDC
(V)alue of KDC
(H)ash rate average day of the network in Mh/s
(1/H)*R = KDC mined per day of 1 Mh/s assuming 0 variance.
Before Fork and fork hype KDC these were the mining conditions and made me a happy quiet KDC miner:
R = 110880
V = .000034 BTC
H = 450
So 1 Mh/s running 24 hours is calculated to earn 246.4 KDC. Of course this is without any payout variance but that's beyond this scope.
The short story is 1Mh/s could earn $5 a day give or take more reliably then most coins with a decent market on CoinedUp.
If hash rate remained unchanged with the new reward (R)eward of 20160, 1 Mh/s avg/day earns 44.8 KDC or 94 US cents. Certainly there are several liquid markets that reward proof of work more favorably, so workers will just move to the higer paying jobs since there is no barrier to employment aside from finding and switching pools.
The current conditions of H = 180, V = .0000362 yields 112 KDC ($2.50 USD), suggest that the smart workers already took new jobs and it is just a matter of time before other market participants catch on.
So one of two things will happen to the net hash
1) hash rate reduces to 80~90 total net hash to support the rate of pay for proof of work currently offered by other coins.
2) the hashing power of the community exceeds the competitive value for the proof of work resulting in consolidation of network hash in just a few pools jeopardizing security, and hording of coins creating illiquid markets.
I say all this not to slam the coin or be a 'Debbie downer', but rather this was the first coin that seemed to not ride the difficulty / payout roller coaster and had a CoinedUp market with enough price volatility and liquidity to create an entertaining and profitable 'next step' of exchanging the coins. Of course up until the Whale came in Thursday or Friday with large BID sizes freezing the art of price discovery
With the new reward so small the only way to increase hash rate is to increase the coins value, but that doesn't just magically happen because the reward was reduced. Absent outside market demand the devs are going to have to open their wallets and buy every offer up to .0001 BTC just to sustain a network hash of 250 Mh/s.
