I have tested to send a coin to cryptsy. I did not reach the destination. Also going to test to send to Bittrex.
In regards to Bittrex specifically, while trying to get Bittrex to update to v1.5.1, I received this communication from Richie Lai of Bittrex:
Hey Steven,
I've been trying to unwind a bunch of bad transactions... It looks like we have deposits dating back almost a month that somehow were orphaned? There are also a bunch of bad deposits starting from Monday. Do you guys have a foundation or something that can help us recover coins? It looks like we're out about 42k in bad deposits. I've resynced now but can't reopen until we make our balance whole.
Thanks,
Richie
I have responded to Richie and informed him that we do not have a foundation. I also told him I would reach out to our community. As you may know, the dev found has long been depleted by server costs and none of those funds remain. I with all of my own personal Sterlingcoin and on behalf of the Sterlingcoin developers, could contribute half of the 42k to do this if the community can aid with the rest. It does appear any action should wait until after the fork.
How did it happen. Can we prevent so it does not happen again?
I can contribute to fill the mug with another 10k. If someone else is willing to contribute with the missing fourth?
I can contribute the last 10K SLG.
How did it happen.
There was to few wallets present supporting the first fork attempt.
Can we prevent so it does not happen again?.
Yes, by having the majority of wallets on the network ready for the fork and upgraded to v1.5.1
Thank you oneoff and MrBee! I knew I could count on you guys! Another person has come forward privately to contribute 5k SLG to this also. We will easily be able to cover the 42k SLG. If anyone else would like to contribute, publicly or privately, please do so as you now know we will reach this goal and your effort and contribution will not be in vain. If more of the community members contribute, it will lessen the burden needed by each individual contributor.
We have confirmed with Bittrex that trading of Sterlingcoin will continue on Bittrex after the fork. They have upgraded to v1.5.1 and are ready for the fork and to open trading after they can reconcile.
Thank you for your continued support Sterlingcoiners!
