Old SHND to New SHND

How Do I Swap My Old Coins?

Quick Reminder: If you never swapped your coins never send them to an Exchange to trade, you will loose them!

On 2018 Team decided to cut three zeros from total supply to guarantee inflation control since it was a big concern of our holders and newcomers.

The solution was a 1000:1 swap made internally in the blockchain. 100% of SHND were swapped successfully and this will be the last swap of SHND in history

Many people come to our forums thinking they lost coins in this process which is not true. If you have SHND in old QT's you can recover them back easily.

If you have unswapped coins there is a procedures to be done as follows:

  1. First open your wallet app and backup and keep a saved copy of your wallet. Then close your wallet app and make sure it's not running.

  2. Locate your StrongHands Folder and delete everything that's in the StrongHands Folder except for these two files: wallet.dat and stronghands.conf
