Swaps can't be processed yet for a couple of reasons.
1) There is 600 or so missing coins. We currently have a premine of 11800, but the main wallet only has 11200. These coins need to be accounted for before starting the swap.
2) The block explorer and snapshot are displaying the wrong balances. In addition to this, there are clear discrepancies between the information found in the snapshot and block explorer. As there are 3 wallet versions running, at some point one of these versions forked, which ended up distorting the figures. Remapper has been unable to find a solution for either issue. We'll have to see how things progress from here.
My advice is to keep your old SUB1X wallet.dat backed up because it may be required in the future. Do not send your coins to the swap address until the above issues are solved. For all people that have sent, we have your details so there is no need to worry.
I know it is impossible to make everybody happy and I might miss something, but this is my tuppence:
Would simply cancelling the swap and continuing with the existing blockchain be the least evil in this situation?
I have no doubt that both willdono and Remapper are great devs who proved they work hard to resolve the issues and they know better what to do. However, instead of adding value to the project a lot of resources has to be spent now on fixing stuff that might be less important compared to development & promotion of the project itself (paying additional attention to reduce the risk of this issue happening again). Maybe, it is the time to ask community who understand the situation for help?
Advantages of cancelling the swap:
- Dev time can be fully allocated to the project core improvement, so much faster progress and raising value of the project for the benefit of everybody. No need to spend a lot of time to achieve ideal resolution of this problem which seems to be quite difficult.
- Trading can be resumed. As of today, the coin/project market value is nearly zero. And it will be like this for quite some time if continuing to pursue the ideal solution via numerous coin swaps and making all the community to closely follow the updates in many different channgels and do a lot of manual work associated with swapping coins.
- I believe it is much more comfortable for majority to keep the coins they have instead of swapping them especially in a manual way.
Disadvantages of cancelling the swap:
- Somebody already sent their coins for swapping - they can be returned back. It is likely that only minority of coin holders are affected. Only a few days of staking are lost for now, so not a big deal. Also, community may help here by e.g. donating to those suffered
- A person(s) probably responsible for stolen coins have benefit from this. First of all, you cannot guarantee they have not already dumped most of these stolen coins, second - it is 5% of coins supply of so if I understand correctly - that is not a big deal for an average coin holder, and finally - life is not fair, it is impossible to make everybody happy, but it would be optimal to look at all this from the point of view of an average holder who loses much more from the project stoppage rather than from void personal satisfaction of punishing the hacker. Instead of this I would rather concentrate on adding value for the whole community.
On a separate note - even if additional 600 coins or so are required, I think more coins have actually been mined on the current chain over the last 2-3 weeks. Some part can be donated by community to compensate those who lost coins (I personally would be happy to participate). I just believe that trying to solve somehow issues for minority is better and much easier achievable than putting the whole project at risk and placing majority in a difficult situation.
