If UNO devs decide they need a new testnet, they will "fork" testnet, and PR will just go on living as it has.  Cryptapus settled that debate.

Not on the wallet yet.  But here is some UNO/Cryptsy news:
Yeah, that's what I was going to say, they will pay these guys $400/hour each out of the Cryptsy money, not government money.
If Paul Vernon actually had a couple million of his own money left, that will pay for the lawyers and receivers and liquid capital that was of the company.

$400/hour is not a lot, it's about the hourly going rate of a mid range decent attorney these days. If you've been to court like me, you've easily paid a lawyer $300-400 an hour.
That money will be locked up for quite a while, if Vernon doesn't have the privkeys to "hack" the UNO as well. You never know, once the price gets too sweet for him with his Chinese girlfriend he may need to cash out coins he can reach to stay on the lam.

As for the Protanium/testnet discussion: Yes, it's true the testnet could need an entire reset at any time should there need to be some heavy testing on it. I thought everyone was aware of that, it being a testnet, but I can so how that would piss people off if they had money involved. Yes, inherently a testnet should actually have no value. If you try to monetize BTCs testnet, they just reset it on purpose.

For anyone unaware.  Camp UNO is divided on Protanium/testnet, some like, some love, and some hate.

Someone more technical (likely only the creator) needs to clarify the possibility/outcome of a UNO testnet reset.  I think the easiest solution is just make another /testnet directory, but I can neither confirm nor deny if that is possible. (Depends on the bitcoin core code).

I would also suggest a snap shot, then untie from the uno/testnet, but that is a hardfork option.  But would end the 'testnet' debate.

First things first ... getting a wallet that syncs ... stay tuned.

Please remember that PR is and was a testnet Wink

EDIT:
Re UNO Testnet/PR - worst that happens is that it gets reset in a future wallet, and you can no longer access your Testnet3/PR through the UNO wallet.  

You'd use the PR client instead.   If he ever needs a Uno testnet because he can't work on PR, BW will create a genesis block for a new testnet and compile a new client. Testnet3/PR has long run off down the road as its own thing. It won't simply evaporate by resetting it, because there is a network and nodes that have arrived at consensus... they won't just immediately wipe out the entire blockchain and sync to block 1 of testnet4.  You'd have to take down the entire network (which admittedly, might not be too difficult).

Anyway... its not a big deal to me. Its just another piece of UNO's interesting history.  

I hope someone is writing all these adventures down. I'd be the first to buy the book, "The Unabridged History of Unobtanium." Chapter 26:  Prototanium.

Well FallingKnife, it doesn't actually work like that. Once you reset the blockchain, you reset it all the way. Meaning, everyone who had PRO coins would all have 0 balance, back to block one. So, anyone that puts money into it, or trades it, loses all they had no matter what once the blockchain has been reset. And yes, that really is the point of the testnet, to just wipe it and start over if need be, not that it has been recently reset, but with testing and development it will need to be reset.

To really clarify the best I can: Yes, it does all simply evaporate by resetting it. Yes, there are nodes, they would all start from block 1 again. If you wanted to keep the coins and preserve the blockchain, you'd need to fork the testnet again and then it's no longer UNOs testnet, it becomes Prototanium as an entire new coin. In effect, that does actually just create another cloned premined coin as well. So, not a good idea at all.

There's no need to fork PR.  If UNO devs decide they need a new testnet, they will "fork" testnet, and PR will just go on living as it has.  Cryptapus settled that debate.  

Just a quick wallet update: I paid a dev to build us new Windows wallets.  He did (or at least he seemed to) and everything looked good at first, but then we discovered that a sync problem remained. It seems to have something to do with checkpoints.
So far the dev has not sent updated wallets resolving that issue. I have no futher information.

If nothing is heard soon, I will repost my bounty for working PR windows wallets.

My main interest in saving PR was to try and cleanup a few of the problems for Cryptopia, who took the coin in good faith. They received unfair criticism when the blockchain stalled and people were unable to move their coins.  I've spent about a bitcoin so far (and plenty of hours) trying to keep it up. I am hopeful that a dev with a reputation will stepforward to shepherd PR into the future. 

UNO faced similiar issues in early 2014. A strong community formed around UNO and kept it going. I think that is what will be required for PR to succeed.

The PR network has been restored. We have nodes, a mining pool, an explorer, an exchange.  A working Windows wallet would be a big help right now, as would a reliable dev who could just keep an eye on PR and occassionally provide updates for wallet security. I don't think it would require a huge amount of time.  If a dev looking to make a good name for him/herself sees an active community and a coin that isn't broken beyond repair (which PR is not), they might step in and help out.

Things you can do help:
Run a node if you can
Go to miningrigrentals.com and rent a little hash (1tb or less) and point it at wmikrut.com pool.
Trade PR on Cryptopia, help make a market. Preferrably the UNO market Smiley
Use your contacts to help PR locate a reliable, trustworthy dev
Be patient
Help out wherever you can. You are PR now.

ya,.i think all trader waiting news too from here,.after all fixed then we can request to another exchange to be added

bloombit,safecex and ccex maybe can be considered for start  Wink

Do ask you like.  More exchanges, more better.  But i'd prefer we clear the above debate, fork PR then seek another exchange (just makes it easier to successfully fork).

the big debate:

To really clarify the best I can: Yes, it does all simply evaporate by resetting it.
consensus?  a lone wolf can't just reset it.

If you wanted to keep the coins and preserve the blockchain, you'd need to fork the testnet again and then it's no longer UNOs testnet, it becomes Prototanium as an entire new coin. In effect, that does actually just create another cloned premined coin as well. So, not a good idea at all.
good idea or not, it is likely the outcome of this disagreement.  when? not soon ... again Blazr/Hag created both ... if he wishes to resurface from the deep and inform us ... that is welcome ... but forking PR off the testnet ends the debate ... and PR walks off as a "cloned premined coin" and "it lives on in infamy".

...

Maybe this will help:

Forking the testnet is a simple pull-request away, and someone will do it eventually when it's necessary to play with the testnet again (since it is worthless for testing in it's current state, too long and bloated and difficulty too high). If someone wants to keep mining the old testnet at that point, no one can stop them from setting up full nodes to keep it going. We'll just bump the version number and not offer connections to the old testnet.

Of coarse, someone could do that even without a pull request to run a private testnet and that would be fine too.

If you're offering any monetary reward for testnet coins you're simply rewarding the abuse of the testnet. But anyone who needs the testnet probably doesn't care because we can fork it at any time and it's your money to blow.

i stress nothing soon, and again if Hag shows up and can explain how Prototanium can be both the UNO test net and monetized at the same time, we are willing to listen, but i would say the current plan is to fork PR and make it a stand alone coin, no date/time of when that happens but i suggest that that is THE PLAN Wink

173499 Huh

The word is that the new wallet is hitting checkpoints and stalling.  Sorry we didn't catch that.  A new build is expected later today that will address it.   If I were a professional software tester, I would caught this.

So again.... don't install this one. Wait for later today.
