Title: [ANN] [PXC] Development Takeover
Post by: ghostlander on October 01, 2013, 04:53:19 AM

Phoenixcoin


http://phoenixcoin.org/images/pxc_biglogo.png



As it become apparent that the previous PXC developer, Mike Burns aka iamatrix (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=103019), abandoned the project,
also took the primary web site and forum down nearly 3 weeks ago without any prior notice,
and his competence in cryptocoin development leaves much to be desired in general,
I have decided to take over the coding to bring the coin back in business.


I have fixed two critical vulnerabilities in this 0.6.4.12 release:

1) broken IRC peer discovery which in fact didn't allow new peers to connect to the network
(now works fine using any of three LFNet nodes coded in);

2) communication issue when PXC peers accepted connections from non-PXC nodes
(it was driving Qt client crazy showing progress like 300000 blocks to download).

Further changes require a hard fork to be introduced in a few weeks after research and community discussion.


[ANN] [PXC] Phoenixcoin v0.6.5.0 Released, UPGRADE REQUIRED Before Block #154000 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=330956.0)


Our new web site, Phoenixcoin.org (http://phoenixcoin.org), is online.

Any development related matters to be discussed at our forum hosted at CryptocoinTalk (https://cryptocointalk.com/forum/186-phenixcoin-pxc/).

I have no insider access to PhenixEx or other half baked projects of the previous developer, so don't bother to ask me about them.

you might want to talk to joerii as he had some plans aswell


If needed I can host a forum for you  ( would be on www.pxc.altcointalk.co.uk ) unless you provide me with a domain

will include forum setup and will help you where needed but it would be up to you to manage it

If there is anything we can do to help let us know  


The ADT DEV team


Edit we can also offer hosting for a direct wallet download

Thanks Zack, but I'd keep with CryptocoinTalk for now. Setting up and managing a dedicated forum isn't in my current plans, there are more important things to do with PXC. I'm leaving it up to the community.

That would be nice if you could mirror the Windows client & daemon until our site is up as some people are not comfortable with MEGA or Google Drive.

Good luck with that....

If MaGNet or Joerii want it, I will turn over domains and github to them.

I have not spoken to them about this yet, but had planned on it.

Well that seems reasonable, any chance that you might hop back in, in the future? From what I read you had some nice ideas that just didnt turn out well, but everyone can learn right?

Just wondering... might be important for the new website name :P

I do not know, only time will tell, right now I have to deal with RL issues.

The coin was never supposed to be our focus, worst thing we ever did was release that coin.

If MaGNet or Joerii do want it, I will help them any way I can, there is some stuff in the code they need to watch for, even bushstar missed it when he coded the last fork, I had to go in and sort it before the release.

Ghostlander and I already agreed to cooperate on the resurrection of Phenixcoin.
We smoked a virtual peace pipe and decided that it would be very good to work together instead of splitting up the community by competing.

The relations I build up as the community leader for PXC are intact. We sticked together in good times and in bad. MaGNeT, Torzsy, Jeancool, Nawazish, all very cool and smart guys. Plus there are people in the background who are lending a hand in an unofficial manner. I'm mainly looking at the awesome guys at FTC.

I'm in Skype with Mike right now, after three weeks of no contact. He's signing over the domains and github to me, I'll hand them over to Ghostlander. Mike says he's busy right now sending coins back to people. We'll see.

My intentions are to keep leading the PXC community. As those who know me can attest : I'm a leader but not the BOSS :)

Now that John and Mike have stepped down, I'll do things a bit differently. 100% transparently and in a democratic way. That also means that if the majority thinks I should step down, I will.

Well, you didn't fork the Litecoin code base and apply necessary commits at GitHub. You downloaded it, modified and uploaded to GitHub. It makes difficult to track your changes. May be easier to fork either Litecoin or Feathercoin now and apply patches to make it Phoenixcoin. The genesis block and magic number are the same. It makes me wonder why you had those 20K blocks pre-mined over 11 days at near zero difficulty while you could put that 1M PXC into a single block. Of course, if you knew how to.

What is going on here. What real life issues require turning off the main website exactly? how did that help you out?. I'm sure people want to know wtf happened with this coin?  what is the truth about what happened internally with this team?  right now Mike burns is looking like the bad guy? it is true ? if so what did he do ? what REAL LIFE issues caused him to take down the main website?  , it looks like a deliberate attempt to fuck the coin up? but why do this?  

 What happened to the 1M premine?  who unloaded it all and who benefited from it if anyone?  what is the actual story with this coin that started off so well ?  Is it coming back if so nobody will touch it until the exact reason for the collapse of the first edition of this coin is know and the bad egg kept far away from any new development. I really like pxc and want to know what exactly happened step by step?

Is Mike burns the bad guy or is he the patsy? was it all a huge scam and the premine unloaded at a high price - if so who exactly benefited from it?

I could write a few insults down, but see no point to argue with you this way. Make up your mind and figure out what exactly you want to do. I have never been your partner, so you owe me nothing. I don't want to take control over your domains or your projects or your GitHub repository or your pre-mine. I want to give PXC a fresh start to become a successful transparent coin with no hype or empty promises involved. Joerii seems to have nearly the same goals, that's why we have decided to work together for the common good. Joerii is still the community leader and I appreciate his efforts.

Hey Joerii and ghost, nice to see you guys working together to revive Phoenixcoin! Now it's name has a meaning haha. Anyways, I'll be here to support you guys... I still have all my coins from before :)

Just curious, I see the client is renamed Phoenixcoin while it still uses the AppData from Phenixcoin. Will the AppData eventually have to be renamed to match the new Phoenix spelling?

Thanks Ghostlander.

Also, I spoke with MaGNeT and Jeancool and they're also very happy to have you as our new coder :)
Didn't get a chance yet to speak to Torszy and Nawazish yet but I have a feeling they will share the sentiment.

It doesn't affect the functionality in any way, and there is a lot of work ahead, so I have left it and some other texts for later.

It must have been cashed in when it was worth something? according to the scam thread it was cashed in then bought back for a lower price when the coin was killed in value by altering the block rewards.

There is still no real answers coming out though regarding who was responsible. I am sure many people will not be getting back with pxc until we are sure the main scammer(s) are removed from this pxc team going forward.

I don't really care about the premine and what they made out of it - it's done now and as long as we know who it was and they are not going to be in the team going forward at all. Until the full story is told i would say trust in this team is dead. I keep hearing Mike is the is the bad guy ? then i heard he is not even the owner?  so if he was just the dev how did he get hold of all the coins and dump and then try to destroy the coin by removing the main site etc?? was he the dev? the co-owner  ? what?  i see bushstar ltc dev/owner trying to distance himself from this pxc stench so there is obviously something shady happening and the rest of the pxc team are not forth coming with a time line and what happened even though they must know.  Until there is a full story with evidence forget this pxc brand just let it die. Until the team is purged of all scammers it is worthless since it will just leak out later with more problems for the coin.  Who owns the phenix brand coin/exchange/poker  is it Mike or John or someone else?

In theory, the coins are not lost. If I understand the situation right, Coins-E failed to update their PXC daemon before the last hard fork and sent your coins while on the wrong block chain. Once they upgraded the daemon and switched to the correct block chain, the transaction disappeared and the coins re-appeared in their wallet. If they didn't repeat the transaction or credit the coins back to your balance, it was a scam. Use Cryptsy instead.

I'm sorry to say that after quite a bit of consideration I am bowing out as community leader for PXC.

Last week I found out that Mike has sold the pre-mine. That upset me so much that I was literally sick for two days. Couldn't sleep at night. Epic betrayel, after months of him swearing that he would never sell the premine, and me defending him at every turn.
I'm done with Phenixcoin and to be honest, the whole cryptoscene has left a bad taste in my mouth and a vaccuum in my savings account.

I took a break from the forums for a while and now I'm back to try and clean up some of the mess left by Mike and John. Check out https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=299765.0

Joerii, sad to see you go. There is little I can do about it, at least I can tell people the real story behind the PXC pre-mine.

Mike had mined about 1 million PXC (~20K blocks) before the currency was released to the public. These coins were the community property, and they were supposed to be used for bounties, prizes, give-aways, etc. In a matter of fact, only a small part of them was used for this purpose as none of the PXC projects ever reached production level. Most of these coins (816K) were accumulated in his wallet at Pbg8ZUXw84QC575GRDLJyMYFmm35Pyn9i2 address. They were supposed to be kept there, but 410K went to Puk5qvEyvt85rGQwuH4R4TjhwrRPSdnJwm (http://explorer.phoenixcoin.org/address/Puk5qvEyvt85rGQwuH4R4TjhwrRPSdnJwm) between 31-May and 8-Jul, and 318K to PoEicfiNj1mQvLgaT27GSSMPUDBTzsNS16 (http://explorer.phoenixcoin.org/address/PoEicfiNj1mQvLgaT27GSSMPUDBTzsNS16) between 11-Jul and 21-Jul. Both of them are Cryptsy addresses. PXC had been listed there on 24-May, but Mike asked Vern to make a one week delay, so the actual trading took place on 31-May. So, he sold it all before people realised the UNOCS Bridge and other projects he was supposed to work on were a complete failure. He knew it better than anyone else.

Now you all know what a piece of shit Mike Burns is.

P.S. Our new web site, Phoenixcoin.org (http://phoenixcoin.org), is online.

EDIT: Let the following be here as well. Mike sold most of his BTC redeemed from the pre-mine dump to USD. 157ukbZ9d3CfjqKjjUF3aSHfrdpVJEtpHr (https://blockchain.info/address/157ukbZ9d3CfjqKjjUF3aSHfrdpVJEtpHr) is his address and this is his #bitcoin-otc trust profile (http://bitcoin-otc.com/viewratingdetail.php?nick=iamatrix&sign=ANY&type=SENT). Funny thing, he was scammed for 8.5 BTC there while sending first. I'm quoting his Bitcoin-OTC IRC when he was complaining of being ripped off and bragging of selling the pre-mine (http://bitcoinstats.com/irc/bitcoin-otc/logs/2013/07/17):

I wish you'd stay, lord knows we need solid guys and gals with integrity on this scene to make it where we all need to go.. Unfortunate indeed. GL bro

Thanks man. Yeah we need people with integrity. And to make any coin work we need something of value to add. Something usefull. Yet another coin without any added utility for the general public is a waste of time and total speculation.

I joined the PhenixCoin team because I thought it was really going to be the next step in cryptocurrency. Now it turns out our lead coder was in it purely for his own financial gain and didn't care at all about the people investing in it. Stealing from them via the premine. Sickening.

Now without any plans of adding value, I don't see a future for Phenixcoin, sorry to say. The only thing you guys have going for you is Ghostlander's support. A very intelligent an capable guy. Maybe there's still hope if you find people who can innovate for PXC. But why would they innovate for PXC instead of for a coin with a better reputation ?

Any coin is a tool for people to use. If the tool functions poorly or broken simply, it doesn't matter if you have any ambitious plans of use for it.

Anyone feel generous enough to reimburse me for the Coins-E debacle?  I lost 9980 PXC because of their incompetence  :-\

In theory, the coins are not lost. If I understand the situation right, Coins-E failed to update their PXC daemon before the last hard fork and sent your coins while on the wrong block chain. Once they upgraded the daemon and switched to the correct block chain, the transaction disappeared and the coins re-appeared in their wallet. If they didn't repeat the transaction or credit the coins back to your balance, it was a scam. Use Cryptsy instead.


Yes, its a scam alright. I bought 12k PXCs at almost 0.25 BTC and Coins-E stole it. They actually mailed me saying to check my wallet again ::) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=294224.0

Anybody feeling generous please donate a bit.

Phoenixcoin New Specification for v0.6.5.0
(hard fork at block #154000)

total coin supply: 98 million (before: 168 million advertised)

block target: 90 seconds (before: 45 seconds)
block reward: 50 PXC (before: 25 PXC)
block reward halved: every 1000K blocks (before: every 1680K blocks)

retarget: every 20 blocks (before: every 126 blocks)
max. difficulty change: 2% (before: 9%)
averaging window: combined 100 + 500 blocks 0.25 damped (before: 126 blocks)

future time stamp limit: 30 minutes (before: 2 hours)
past time stamp limit: median of 19 blocks (before: median of 11 blocks)


The averaging algorithm is under simulations now and may be tuned up a little, but everything else is very much final. The current coin generation rate is unchanged. The hard fork is due in about 40K blocks from this moment which is more than enough to complete everything planned in time with no surprises. Beta builds will be released for testing later. More technical details on the hard fork are in this (https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/1404-phoenixcoin-hard-fork-4-discussion/) or this (http://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php/topic,4029.0.html) thread.

Hello everybody :)

I am happy to introduce altdice to the PXC community
It's a dice game pretty much like the early version of Satoshi Dice

http://pxc.altdice.net

To play, send any amount between min bet and max bet to the address of your choice.
A number between 0 and 65535 will be selected, if this number is below the number of the game, then you win !
Your winnings are your bet amount * the Prize Multiplier.

The game is almost instant. 98% expected payout. 2% edge house.
Play max bet and win over 200 PXC!

Have a try :-)
Send 1 PXC to PuWgjtywJLZPuQ44JA98fharPwDgUfL1Kg => You have 85% chance to win this game. It pays out 1.153 your bet amount.

I wish you a lot of fun on Altdice.net !

Phoenixcoin v0.6.5.0 has been released for beta testing. The source code is at GitHub (https://github.com/ghostlander/Phoenixcoin) (note the new repository name). You can compile it yourself or wait until I compile and upload the beta binaries for Windows tomorrow. You can also join the testnet to try the new protocol settings. This beta is fully functional and can be used on the current livenet. If no bugs show up this weekend, the official release takes place on Monday. Please upgrade to v0.6.5.0 as any previous version will not be functional after the hard fork at block #154000 which is expected in 1 week.

MD5: 10283311b34faa2663c85a3aabeb9aed  phoenixcoin-lin-amd64-0.6.5.0.tar.gz

Be sure to check the README.txt or at least the following:

Quote
  *** Upgrade Instuctions from Phoenixcoin v0.6.4.12 and earlier (Windows) ***

If you upgrade from a 0.6.4.x version of Phoenixcoin, the first news you need to
know is the default location of directory with block chain and peer data bases,
your wallet and configuration file has changed. v0.6.4.x clients have stored all
this data in a "Phenixcoin" subdirectory located in a hidden system path:

(Windows 2000, XP, 2003) C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\
(Windows Vista, 7, 8 ) C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\

It was supposed to provide some protection against accidental wallet deletion by
an inexperienced user as many people didn't know where to find it. On the other
hand, it appeared to be a security breach as many wallet stealing trojans and
remote access scripts knew where to look for user data. It was advised to enable
wallet encryption usually, though there was also an option to move the whole
subdirectory elsewhere and report the full path to the client or daemon using
-datadir run time parameter which was rather inconvenient.

So, the default subdirectory is now called "data" and it's located in the same
directory where you keep the Qt GUI client and daemon, phoenixcoin-qt.exe and
phoenixcoind.exe. The whole distribution can be placed on a hard disk, USB flash
stick, network drive or wherever else. You can use the -datadir parameter still
if you need to.

Please move the contents of "Phenixcoin" subdirectory to the "data" subdirectory
BEFORE you start a v0.6.5.x client or daemon. If there is phenixcoin.conf, rename
it to phoenixcoin.conf and you're good to go.

Happy hard fork everyone! We are rolling very well so far.

The difficulty is rising due to increase in block target and block reward. Hope you have made some easy PXC today.

Advanced checkpointing also works fine. The depth is set to 1, so any block with at least 1 confirmation cannot be orphaned. In general, the number of natural orphans has decreased dramatically after the hard fork.

Please vote for PXC to CoinPayments, the largest altcoin payment processor: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=360706

There is a bit of irony though. CoinPayments was supposed to be a direct competitor to the UNOCS Bridge which never happened thanks to the previous developer. I'm more comfortable with supporting CoinPayments rather than creating my own payment processor and competing with them.

Hey, I was doing a little speculation on PXC and now I have .... way too much. Are there any ways of transferring it for ltc or btc right now. I am sitting pretty heavy on it... pushed it up to the brink of .1mbtc and then got caught holding the bag... I then went ahead and said "F it all" and pushed it into gambling... and... won. so, now I have 2800 more coin than I really want to hold. Would rather split it up to 5 or so different people so that a big sell-wall doesn't stop the exchanges from allowing it to climb higher, and I don't want to hold that much.

I know that right now both exchanges that carry it are doing maintenance on it at the same time, so.. looking for options. I don't have a problem giving a discount for liquidity, but also don't really want to put it up on eBay right now. Have some coins on a new exchange that is auction style, but don't want to flood that either.

I can go through a free or cheap escrow if anyone wants to trade, but would like to limit purchases to 800FXC, if anyone has an idea how to liquidate, I can tip a little.

Public Key PnTZm7fXN6yZa5HntEaCS5whQWQh9Wvh3h just so you can see that I really have them and am not BSing.

gemologist, Cryptsy is open for PXC trading now, so you can sell if you want. A big buy or sell wall is something like 100K PXC. Smaller quantities like a few K are not a problem for the market.

P.S. I see PXC at Altcoin Dice (http://pxc.altdice.net/) is getting popular :)

Phoenixcoin v0.6.5.1 Released (https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/4132-phoenixcoin-v0651-released/)

Quote
Although this v0.6.5.1 release isn't a major one, there have been many various improvements made. You a get a better wallet interface, working DNS seed nodes, new RPC commands and options, minor performance and security improvements. Many wallet translations have been de-uglified, though there is a lot of work to do still.

The built-in mining interface for pooled mining has been enhanced with the Stratum support. It relies upon Pooler's CPUminer, so the performance is very good. Those of you who still mine PXC with processors now can do that straight from the wallet. Our pre-compiled wallet binaries for Windows come bundled with the latest CPUminer for users' convenience.
