I need help of BitcoinPlus community because I found an old wallet of 2014 on which there must be about 60 XBC,
have you a solution to recover them on the new wallet?
I know it's late but Maybe someone has a solution to help me.
thank you in advance.
Ah, maybe you could share your old client application and start running an alternative fork....SMILE....Maybe, there are others who can also benefit from the old chain....I don't know how much of the old chain was burnt in the exchange because I'm still new to this project but that's one idea....I apologize if it may be obtuse, but it's something.

Thanks for the link....To save me some time searching, is there a link to the specifications of the swap? Was there a swap? A fork? If there was just a fork instead of a "swap and burn," couldn't these guys who have the older clients containing coins just update their client to access their coins?
The current BitcoinPlus coin has been running since May 2015. It is effectively a NEW coin. The current team arranged it so that coins on the old chain (old XBC) could be swapped on a 1 to 1 basis at Poloniex. All old coins were sent into Poloniex accounts. Any record that exists is held with Poloniex. The issue is now 2 years later there is no way of validating any coins on the old chain. Current XBC team do not hold a record of who held XBC in May 2015 or who has swapped and who hasn't swapped. The cut off was when Poloinex distributed the coins as they kindly handled everything for the XBC Team at the time.
Now that XBC has some value again it will attract people to come out of the woodwork claiming to have old coins without providing any proof and no way of providing proof without a working blockchain. Sadly some will be telling the truth and some not.
Yes, I can see how that would happen. I guess my question is: was their a fork or just a swap? If there was a fork then the old coins would still be in the new chain and the old chain would still contain the old coins....right? Those that have the old clients can just connect their nodes and make what they can of the alternative chain. However, if it was a swap to a totally new chain and they missed the announcement....that's their bad because there is no obligation to honor a swap---they still have what they paid for and they can do what they can to support their own chain <---it would be nice to know what happened to the swapped coins (burnt, dormant wallets...etc) so that an accurate market capitalization can be attained if the old chain is resurrected, right?
We are on a completely new chain.The old original chain wasnt forked and a fulll node and old client was even left running for almost a year by a team member in case any late stragglers arrived so their coins could be verified as long as the old chain was alive but that is finished now.
