I read about this migration. I still dont understand why they are switching to new chain?
And this: "there'll be a time limit on claiming coins on the new chain from the snapshot" smell like a legal theft of users coins who do not respond in time.
Basicly more coins for exchange owners, more coins to dump and take fiat.
For example, i have account on bitrrex with some amount of XEM wich i traded before. AFter chain swap if i dont respond in time coins will be takeover by exchange?
Thats how i understand whole situation. Please correct me if i am wrong.
Cos it's a better one? They're saying the old one will continue but they're going to have to sort a few things to keep people interested.
Yup. The time limit thing is not acceptable this time around in any circumstances. They're saying you need to manually opt in to receive a private key on the new network.
I don't see why that can't either be automated forever or keep someone on to do it manually a few times a year if it's that labour intensive.
Dunno what the deal is with exchanges but I assume it'll be a simple process if they participate. Some may not.
And since it's a brand new chain it's possible it may start trading for zilch. Going on the past history of awareness, or lack thereof, no one's going to know or care what it is. A reboot of a fading chain may either be the new start it needs or turn it into the next NXT.
agree with your opinion about the time limit ...
... crypted messages... sent to every NEM-account. The message could contain the key to the new Catapult account.
Isn't that possible?
I have tried to read all the related posts in
forum.nem.io, and comment this issue only after reading and understanding it
Well, it looks like that I have to start commenting before accomplishing that project.
During these 4 years the development of crypto scene has apparently gone forward and created new concepts...
opt-in ...
"opt-in" ?
Can it be replaced by clear, basic English?
Many Nemsters are not native English-speakers and need to look translators or explanations like this
http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/opt-in.htmlBut is that explanation the same as this NEM-opt-in ?
I hope this Catapult claming procedure will be clearer than the NEM's "clame the stake" procedure
