In May, 2014 Luckycoin was mentioned by CNN: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=568287.msg6678487
Original LKY was present on Coinmarketcap in 2013-2023: it shows LKY circulating supply 19,326,319 in 2023
In August, 2024 an unknown person (or a group) made a hard fork of Luckycoin chain from the point deliberately chosen deep in the past (in November, 2013):
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=568287.msg64595025
Luckycoinfoundation.org and other old, expired or abandoned domains of Luckycoin project were taken over. Everything was done behind the scene, without any open discussion with community of Luckycoin holders.
All coins of people who had been mining or buying Luckycoin since November, 26, 2013 till 2019 disappeared in this new so called "revived" chain: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=568287.msg64978342
The "revival" through hard forking from the point chosen deep in the past of blockchain and listing of fake Luckycoin led to many technical and ethical issues, including problems with crypto community, exchanges, an additional hard fork etc.: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=214614.msg65027554
If the "revival" is New Lucky coin, then it was incorrect to use the same name, symbol, logo and story; also to take over original Luckycoin domains and rewrite Luckycoin Coinmarketcap listing page. The "revival" saved only initial 5 percent of entire blockchain (from 2013, ignoring many years) that means it is definitely not original Luckycoin.

A developer abandoned the project in 2014, that is why it was necessary to copy the code
https://github.com/LuckycoinOriginal
to fix the outdated codebase, to enable merged mining and to continue with full blockchain and with original Luckycoin.
Feel lucky, be lucky!
