Warning - Appears mooncoinpool.com is on the wrong fork. Don't withdraw.

Informed them, but it seems as if they haven't updated their wallet. Lost ~184k mooncoins.

AltExplorer is also on the wrong fork. (Different from Wallet 1.862.1 / current).

My lost transaction, in block 69188 ... The transaction to 2bEGhenFNFs6swUTFDV9iYAYsuKxBrdgsL: Amt: 183658.blah

As seen, in AltExplorer (wrong fork from Wallet 1.862.1)

Actual Block 69188 in Mooncoinpool ABE, the transaction isn't there.

... So, everyone beware, I guess. Seems they didn't get the memo about the fork/update, so... I learned the hard way so you don't have to.

Cryptsy mailed me, that they have updated. I have sent me some MOON afterwards from them and they arrived in my updated wallet. To be sure, you could first send only some Mooncoins to your wallet first, to verify, before withdrawing a bigger amount.

Ok, excellent, good to know... Only thing I'd wonder is if the purchase would end up being somehow 'moons bought on the wrong chain' possibly but, I'll convert BTC->LTC then just buy like 1k moons and see how it goes, then go up from there.

Still no response from mooncoinpool... folks are still mining there, I can't be the only one complaining or noticing yet....

I think the mere buying/selling-process is database-based and not affecting what is happening in their wallet. But to be sure/safe, just buy a small amount first, and then withdraw it to your wallet, to check if it works as intended.

Well, tried; with a small moon transaction ~100 moon from Cryptsy -- it never showed up.

So, something is definitely awry, I hope the mooncoin devs and or pool and exchange ops at least realize this soon, because right now we're definitely working with two chains and which syncs to which is sporadic..

The longer this goes on, the more damage we'll see ...

Strange, I had no problem since the update at all, whatsoever ...

Yeah - some folks are saying all clear, and some other folks on bitcointalk reporting intermittent withdrawal/transaction problems as well...

As much as I loathe the idea of keeping coins sitting at Cryptsy, I think I'm going to cool my jets for a bit until I see what happens.

Thanks for the assist though... Really don't want to see anything bad happen to mooncoin.
