This community is going to destroy a REALLY GOOD THING if the decision to migrate to the ETHER network is realized... I think we should stay as our own network, keeping it POS, and remain independent, sustaining our own network like Africa ought to stride for post-Imperial Colonialism.

...."We are still involved with Bitsoko but KOBO will not be moving to the Ethereum blockchain. There were issues to do with speed (and also to do with ETH gas)+".....

Only way could see potentially around that for best of both worlds, could have Kobocoin on the ethereum blockchain and its own blockchain at the same time, and have a 1 to 1 exchange ability either inside the wallet or exchanges somehow.
Kind of like a Kobo versus Kobo duopoly. Have absolutely no clue how that could be instigated, is probably too complicated to realise in practice, lol.

Yes, I agree too. light color is joy and hope, light design is better))

This is The Original 'existing' project for Africa. Launched 3 years ago before the current ICO craze came into existence.

Kobocoin is green by design. May not seem much to some but as time progresses PoS will be recognised as the only way forward for cryptos (imo). There are features in Kobocoin that had the future built in right from the start. It was always my intention that this blockchain should be able to exist without the need for a hard fork as time progresses. There are certain details I won't go into, but this blockchain is hopefully built with the future in mind.

See little future in pure proof of work when electricity costs, difficulty/Moore's law and user adoption takes effect. It was a good place to start and offers everyone a possible entry point but the ridiculous (and totally none green) amount of power bitcoin now uses just to validate 1 block is not justifiable. Am sure a number of African countries would love that amount of tera watts just to waste on producing a few coins but they don't have that to spare when they have trouble just keeping 24/7 electricity for the people in the first place. add to that, lack of distributed nodes, POS should form a naturally more even network if its done correctly (bitcoin has highly centralized mining farms with little incentive for small user seed nodes)
 
Ethereum has taken the step to go proof of stake only, unfortunetely it is a double edged sword because (potentially) if not distributed to enough people, only large holders of a POS coin will profit and control supply/nodes in the end.
One outcome I would never have betted on, is the multiple hard forks and surviving blockchains after the the fact, why are they needed, to me it just diminishes the strength and independance of the coin attibutes, why not have all in 1 blockchain? (lol, easy to say)

Anyway, don't know how you did it (9 bitcoins ?!) but getting added to Coinomi sounds like great news, something I learned from following coin development is the successful ones do it in small steps at a time, building strength on top of strength, as opposed to the opposite extreme which is to pump something as much as possible (often based on foreknowledge) then play the market on the downturn.

Congratulations! This is a big step forward.

I've been trying to get them to resolve this for almost 2 years now. Their support doesn't answer. I even tried to pay for it to be repaired and still got no reply. I've asked them to delist Kobo but they won't even do that.

All I can do is to make sure it is no longer advertised on the website.

Sorry but I don't see any solution on the horizon for the YoBit problem.

Quick Update

After a few hiccups with the hashing module (I was able to help them solve the issue), KOBO is now integrated into the Coinomi wallet and will be available on the app with the next update. I will, of course, post screenshots here once it's released.



I'm also looking into setting up a new ElectrumX server and creating an electrum client wallet. This will mean no more blockchain downloads!
