Monero (XMR) keeping for MoneroV (XMV) airdrop

zed_wolfram 7 years ago updated by David Strohmayer 7 years ago 6

Hello, I want to be sure about the monero fork and airdrop going on in 2 weeks. Will I get the 10:1 XMV coins if I am keeping my monero with your services?


Looking forward to hear back from you.


Best,
John

@John: Let me clarify. Coinfoundry is not a wallet. When you are earning XMR through mining on the XMR pool, we merely transfer your reward to your wallet. A wallet itself is nothing but the public address of a cryptographic key. So in essence, the answer is yes even though it has nothing to do with the pool itself.


Here's a link to an article outlining some very useful information regarding the upcoming MoneroV airdrop: https://btcmanager.com/monerov-trap-laid-monero-users/

Thanks for the reply! 


Any fork comes with FUD from the original chain I suppose. This will be no different, same as with bitcoincash and bitcoin.


As I read from sources, Monero core team spoke about monerov at their dev meetup and this is seems like a real force to recon with.


I still want my xmv though. 


Thank you

Just be careful:


Asking for a private key is a HUGE red flag.

Thanks for the warning. There are actually opposing views though. On the other side: https://twitter.com/kadhirvelavan/status/965937857142534145. Your citation could be another tweet for FUD, so it's dangerous to accept it without fact-checking.


I am a Monero supporter and I am on the telegram group. So I want to correct the misconceptions so far. As far as I know, they're not asking for any private keys and of course, it's not from the Monero team. 


But then I again, being cautious is always healthy, and discussion is healthy as well. FUD is real which means a good fork, IMHO. Thanks anyway. :)


Kindly update the community or notify me if there's news about this. :)

There is no way to deny that MoneroV is an attack on Monero. And i don't talk about MoneroV being an competitor. It just simply is a sophisticated attack on the anonymity of Monero transactions and quite frankly, it's pretty obvious if you read all the related stuff. That said, if you don't care about the damage it does to Monero transactions, you can of course claim your coins. But then do it this way:

1) Have your XMR in a private wallet, not a wallet on an exchange

2) After block 1529810 in the blockchain is mined, transfer your XMR to another wallet

3) Claim your stuff with the old wallet (so that there are no XMR anymore)


That way you make sure that they at least can't get your XMR - which i think they don't want but to be save is always good
