(Community Help Needed) Time to let the exchanges know we are close to hard fork

List of changes that currently trade Peercoin: http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/peercoin/#markets

So far Bittrex and Livecoin have confirmed that they will update the client.

I ask the community members to try to message the rest of exchanges, preferably trough email.

Thanks.

Thanks for posting about this Peerchemist. I ended up having to work on the weekend and haven’t had time to create the thread.

Guys, we need the full help of the community to contact as many service providers as possible and make sure they are switched to v0.5.3. In order to make this easier, we need to know the following:

  • Which exchange or service provider did you contact?
  • How did you contact them, Twitter, email, online form? Email is preferred.
  • Let us know here if they responded, so we can confirm below that they have been notified.
  • Please post about any exchanges or service providers if they are not featured in the list below…

Dear ,

In order to ensure that all Peercoin related services can continue after April 25th, we are confirming with our exchange and service providers whether they have updated or are in the process of updating to the mandatory v0.5.3 Peercoin client. The v0.4 Peercoin wallet will cease to work after April 25th. Upgrades of existing v0.4 wallets after April 25th require a download of the blockchain to be able to continue using the wallet.

Can you please respond with answers to the following questions:

  1. Have you already upgraded all your wallets to v0.5.3 in order to continue services after April 25th?
  2. If no, have you already planned to upgrade your wallet(s)?

Here are some useful resources to upgrade the wallet:

Developer Sunny King’s announcement for mandatory upgrade to v0.5.3:

Looking forward to your response. Let us know if you have any questions.

Kind regards,

On behalf of the Peercoin community,

Please let me know if everything in the sample email above is correct. I copied it from Cybnate’s post when we upgraded to v0.4. I just made some small alterations.

I’ve send the sample email to https://anycoindirect.eu
I’ll let you know when they responded.

I’ve emailed

BTC-E
BTER
Cryptonit

Edit for answers:

BTC-E “We have already done it.”

Updated post

That’s good to hear.

Great effort to help the community :slight_smile:

Have sent Litebit.eu an email today. Will let you know when they reply.

I have sent email to https://blockr.io/, https://bitinfocharts.com/, https://coinplorer.com/ and http://bkchain.org/.

Will let you know when they reply :slight_smile:

There are 5 days left and we still have exchanges left to contact. Has anyone received anymore confirmations?

I would also like to suggest the following:

IF ANY EXCHANGE ON THE LIST IS NOT CONFIRMED, AND YOU HAVE AN EXISTING ACCOUNT AT THE EXCHANGE:

PLEASE OPEN A TROUBLE TICKET OR HELP DESK REQUEST WITH TRACKING NUMBER, TO INFORM THEM OF THE HARD FORK.

Doing so will protect your Peercoin investment, and help the peercoin community at large.

Please do not wait for the some other person to do it, because that’s what the other person is thinking too. Peercoin hard forks are very rare. The 2 or 3 minutes you will spend doing this is greatly appreciated.

Reply from Bittylicious:
“now upgraded to v0.5.3.”

So, that one is confirmed

I emailed to:

I already got a reply from http://www.btc38.com:
好的,非常感谢您的来信和对时代的关注~
小编已经询问过技术,时代已经做好了升级~
祝您生活愉快~

Poloniex is updated as mentioned.

Emailed them. They confirmed.

The list is updated. We still have about 8 exchanges that have not been contacted yet. Most of the big ones have confirmed however, so that’s good news.
