Hot Question #3
Dear Cryptaur Users,We continue to publish our answers to the questions most frequently dealt with by our User Support service. This time we will have a look at a set of related questions about CPT and its circulation.
Let's start with a bit of history. Back on January 18, 2018 Cryptaur announced a complete re-issue of the CPT token on a new smart contract and also added the function of an internal wallet/depository to the Cryptaur User Account.
The need to reissue the token and to create the internal wallet/depository emerged due to the fact that many users who'd withdrawn their CPTs to the independent external MyEtherWallet service were subsequently attacked by hackers by the so called phishing sites and lost some of their assets.
As long as all crypto currency transactions are fundamentally irreversible, there was obviously no chance to return those assets to their owners. That is why the Cryptaur team took a bold decision in favor of its users and reissued the project's token from scratch, simultaneously introducing additional measures of contributors' assets protection. The token reissue campaign was known as Silver Spoon and essentially was what is normally referred to as a "hard fork".
Thus, after the Silver Spoon there came to exist two tokens with the same name—CPT—in the Ethereum network. But the old CPT became totally void of any value as a legal means of circulation inside the Cryptaur ecosystem, and the new CPT replaced the old one and became the only valid token on our platform.
All Cryptaur users who logged into their accounts at least once between January 18 and March 25, 2018 were automatically credited the new tokens strictly in accordance with the amounts of the old CPTs they used to have. Those users who did not log into their accounts during the above interval have been able to claim their newly issued CPTs by contacting the User Support.
To reiterate, the old CPT tokens continue to exist on the old smart contract but they have no economic meaning within the Cryptaur ecosystem.
Despite that, some users still try to use the old tokens in one way or another. For example, they send them to the
Latoken exchange where our currently valid CPT is being traded. As long as the new token has nothing in common with the old one except the name, the exchange will not accept the old token for sale and will not be even obliged to return it to the sender.
Therefore, any attempt to trade the old and void CPT token at an exchange or to sell it to another individual is either a mistake or fraud. We strongly recommend that those users who are not quite familiar with blockchain follow a simple rule of thumb: at present, there are only three legitimate sources of valid CPTs out there:
1. Users' own Cryptaur accounts.
2. Crypto exchange where the Cryptaur token is officially listed (for the time being it is
Latoken).
3. Functioning Cryptaur applications (for the time being it is
Cryptaur Lottery).
However, if you are familiar with at least the basics of crypto industry, you can always verify of a CPT token status without much trouble as long as you know the relevant smart contract addresses for the old and new CPT tokens.
The old token smart contract that is not valid within the Cryptaur ecosystem after January 18, 2018 is located at:
https://etherscan.io/token/0x827de8cb5bf8da8f16093505c58b5677122cdcecThe new token smart contract that replaced the old one after Silver Spoon and that is the only legal payment instrument within the Cryptaur ecosystem after January 28, 2018 is located at:
https://etherscan.io/address/0x88d50b466be55222019d71f9e8fae17f5f45fca1To avoid being cheated by scammers who might offer the old and invalid tokens as new ones, it is advised to carefully check the relevant smart contract. In order to do so, you could do the following:
1. Go to
https://etherscan.io/ and paste the sender's wallet address to the search field in the top right part of the screen.
2. Perform the search for that address. If the address does exist, go to the "Tokens transfer" tab and click the ERC20 (CPT) token name to the right from the transaction sum. Then find the actual smart contract number on the wallet monitoring page and in the "Contract" field. The correct number should read:
0x88d50b466be55222019d71f9e8fae17f5f45fca1With best regards,
Your Cryptaur Team
