A new wallet? Hardfork around the corner? Great news! I'm guessing we'll have to sync to the new blockchain, right? If you were already running tekcoin, I only updated my wallet with the 2.4.0.0 version and it was good to go, a complete redownload of the blockchain was not necessary. As long as you update before the hard fork on april 6th, you're good.  I'm actually planning to stake before that!  Thanks kiklo! |

mining with 1G of ram on gpu works fine for me
run on gtx460 & hd4890
Of course, but not for Ethereum. That was the meaning of the previous answers. Right now, you'll need at least 2 GB RAM in your GPU to be able to load the DAG and mine Ethereum. |

All stolen coins currently still sitting in the thief's wallet staking http://explorer.phstones.com/address/9VGJynR4uc3787QWdGMS9HUD9YMmmDJgoCAt the moment I'm not accepting any donations, sorry. It's not about money, i'm just getting sick from the thought that with my work i will be helping that thief to dump stolen coins at the good price. Please understand. Thank you. I do understand. Take it easy, ok? And thanks again for all you effort. |

@ Trimegistus
Micro-staking strategy was a game-changer. Are you saying that you are quite happy with that?
To all investors:
Another game-changer could be decoupling the link between the percentage payout and the difficulty - and coding in a framework, which includes the linking of the percentage payout to the coin supply. How do you all feel about bringing in this much needed Spring clean?
Absolutely not! I'm not happy at all! But, taking into account that the solution is still far from being consensual (with or without hardfork) and apparently is not going to happen anytime soon, I prefer to ignore them! Get it? I do not approve those tactics, but I try to ignore them! I cannot fight them, therefore I pretend they don't even exist! I know they are real, but I don't let them rule my staking rhythm. That's all my saying... |

In my humble opinion (no laughs please, I can be humble on occasion ... ), you acknowledge a main flaw in your calculation. The micro-stakers do exist. They have defended their strategy in this and other threads. Their work can be seen by using PressTab's block explorer - the amount they stake, the difficulty they inflict on the rest of us, and the carpet of low percentages ... that is until they stake at the most opportune time with their big hitters. The odds are in the favour of the micro-staking House. Over time, that will tend to make ordinary investors increasingly irrelevant with regards to staking. There is another aspect to large scale micro-staking that should be considered i.e. in the wrong hands, it is a massive security threat. Indeed, that's a fact. What I meant was that my calculations were disregarding the existence of those micro-stakers. Why? Because we never know exactly when they are going to hit! Therefore, I keep staking at 30 days interval. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose. That's the nature of the game! |

I don't believe that is quite how it works. The 90 days would be prorated at whatever the current stake rate is for the extra days beyond 30, so the yield would be much higher.
That might be true. But still, in the present conditions you'll be lucky to get 40% after 90 days. That's my point...  |
|
|
|
That's what I have been doing , but last stake yield was only 6.5-8.5% , 140k staked 9700++. So it would seem if yield is below 10% , than the next thing would be to wait the 90 days
I'll never wait for more than 30 days. That's my bet and I understand the risks. But there are absolutely no guarantees to get a better return after 60 or 90 days. |

Guys, I've been reading all your posts concerning the wait for the difficulty to be at the right level to stake and I've decided to invite all of you to join me in a very easy math exercise. Let's assume someone has a 100k block, shall we? 1st scenario - high difficulty (stake rate 10%) 30 days - 100,000+10% = 110,000 60 days - 110,000+10% = 121,000 90 days - 121,000+10% = 133,100 2nd scenario - wait 90 days for low difficulty (stake rate 40%) 90 days - 100,000+40% = 140,000 Now, these are extreme conditions and in reality one has to very unlucky to stake at 10% three months in a row, or to be very lucky to stake at exactly 40% after three months. real life scenario 1 - high difficulty (stake rate 12%-15%) 30 days - 100,000+12% = 112,000 60 days - 112,000+15% = 128,800 90 days - 128,800+12% = 144,256real life scenario 2 - wait 90 days for low difficulty (stake rate 35%) 90 days - 100,000+35% = 135,000I know, this has nothing to do with the micro stakers conspiracy. What I'm trying to show is that IMHO if we want to gamble on luck we might as well stake every 30 days because there are good odds at getting a better income. In reality, with a bit of luck one can stake at 25% or maybe even at 35% only after 30 days! So why the wait? Not for me... I stake every month, consolidate my blocks, and hope for the best. Cheers! |

I currently have a '50% chance of producing a stake within 70 Days'  Never seen it that long before, is anyone else seeing something similar? Difficulty fluctuates a lot. Besides, the size of your blocks is also a key parameter. The network appears to be healthy, just take it easy and you'll get your stakes Tell cryptopia to delist for now. We can raise 0.3 to have it put back later.
freeze that wallet and get the coins back. No dev is going to have any incentive without coins.
I'm guessing it might be too late for that now. The thief has probably dumped the coins already. Instead of raising money to have the coin relisted, maybe the community should donate some PHS to the dev. I've already suggested this and I still think this is the way to go. @noise23, give us a PHS address and I will send you 5k PHS to set the example. How's that for a start? |

Just wondering if the new wallet has been released yet. I haven't been on the forum for a week or two.
AFAIK we are still on wallet version 2.0.5.7 |

Last few months, I've been so distracted with things other than crypto... and Ethereum's amazing climb of recent that I have not opened my PHS wallet for a while. I was really disappointed when I discovered that Cryptsy is insolvent last month, as they still have a few coins of mine, and they were the only exchange I knew of who carried PHS. Last night, while I was browsing yobit, I saw the listing fees for the exchange. Half a BTCitcoin is a bit much to come off of personally for my holdings which are currently worth a fraction of that. Yet I wanted to do something and know that PHS should really get the attention it diserves from the "Exclusive" Package. I am willing to contribute to the fees associated with getting the new fork on yobit. I am also willing to use my registration of philosopherstone.bit or whatever other webdesign/marketing resources I can to help the effort to keep this dream alive. I support Noise23 being the new dev, and having a fundraiser to get his lost property back. I do not believe changing the code to 1% payback of fees to the dev deposit address is a good idea, unless it is optional within the new version of the program. The theft totally sucks, and hopefully is returned. However, with no functional network, there is nothing. On my old laptop, My pre-Dec 15th 2015 Wallet cannot connect to anyone. Neither can my fresh install of 1.6.6.4 without the philosopherstone.conf file and all the current peers listed on CoinofView. If someone wanted to start out with PHS today, should the wallet not work directly after download and installation? Stuipid Windows 10 hid the .txt extension of the file from me without me realizing it for way too long today. It is a nice feeling... to be synching again This is my current list of nodes in the .conf file. addnode=82.9.77.178 addnode=52.8.14.111 addnode=74.118.195.134 addnode=70.176.24.131 addnode=68.106.253.56 addnode=145.132.199.173 addnode=85.229.7.226 addnode=65.50.96.63 addnode=50.149.214.130 addnode=70.190.105.71 addnode=81.10.219.31 addnode=74.118.195.134 addnode=98.178.133.39 addnode=86.141.204.15 addnode=108.161.135.192 addnode=70.106182.230 addnode=173.88.49.191 addnode=99.252.24.247 And I'm currently staking... |

Great news! On the other hand, your stolen coins might be dumped, right?  Yeah they definitely will be dumped, 107K http://explorer.phstones.com/address/9VGJynR4uc3787QWdGMS9HUD9YMmmDJgoCCan we expect you to keep developing the new wallet, site and blockexplorer?
Domain is paid till December, will try to keep explorer online too. Regarding developing i can't say for now, at least not in the near months... I would love to have an improved wallet but I must admit that you are already doing a lot! I'll be around, ready to support any efforts to keep this project going. Thank you so much for keeping this coin alive! |

After some consideration, i think it's better for PHS to just leave everything as is for now...
Going to ask Cryptopia to re-activate PHS market.

+ wallet all the time worked nice... would be a shame when phs die :/
Technically, this coin is now dead... Why? Because there is no place where it can be traded! However, I still hope for the PHS revival! @noise23, let's go for it! |

Let's face it; the guys at Cryptopia are right and they are defending a good principle.
However, it is also true that the community and the developer should have the final word on a cryptocurrency's destiny.
Having said that, I will agree with the 1% fee to the developer or I will gladly send a few thousand PHS to him in order to compensate for the stolen coins.
So how do we solve this conundrum?
If we go for the hardfork we can't forget that no coin is viable without a market to be traded.
We don't have enough volume to get listed on one of the big exchanges like Poloniex on Bittrex, right?
As a final note, I would love to stay on Cryptopia. Ever since Cryptsy collapsed I've been trading several coins there with no issues whatsoever. It's definitely not in the same league as Polo or Bittrex but out of the smaller ones, I believe it's better than Yobit or Bleu.
We should also consider C-Cex, I believe the listing there is free.
Whatever it takes to keep this nice coin alive, let's do it!

I have blocks of 5447 at 13 days age. When should I expect them to stake? Qt says 3-5 but it hasn't changed in a few days.
Thanks
I have some 4,5k blocks older than 120 days and the wallet shows they still have 46 more days to go... This is the new HYP reality. If you don't want to wait, increase your block size to 15k or 20k so what is the current inflation rate? Honestly? I have no idea |

Any possibility of performing a hard fork without the rollback? You know where your stolen coins are, right? Can't you just burned them? Wipe out that address, or addresses, where they were stolen to? Otherwise, this coins is dead  No market, no dev, no website... no hope! |
