Looks like there's still afew coins to be had... How many left, about 40 ?

Nope, it's when people have compliants they are the most noisy...

all you've got are compliments so far..

Same here, usually I have to wait a few minutes for a connection.. this release was just bada-boom, ready to rock...

If you asked me who are the "devs", I'd give you three names, but if you asked me who developed the coin  I'd have to add nomaxpi, bitcoin greece, joe winkler, loucy, lyno, mymenace, zackclark70... Thats of the top of my head, and there's been offers of help for other stuff, great suggestions and tips, as well as a lot of miners who kept going even though progress seemed slow.

I think the next project is an exchange, and I would say when that starts, RPG will be asked if he wants in.. theres others waiting to start..

Somebody was talking about incorporating webcam software into the client.. If they really wanted to, they could do that off their own back, believe me , nobody would stop them. It's all good...

So the question isn't what would we like you to do, the question is, what would you like to do, Wedge ? 

Thanks, It would have been easier in many ways just to start a new coin, but with so many alts out there, why not do the hard yards and make one that already exists useful ?.

And we aren't following the usual get out a client, get a website or two, go to crypsty and stop, thats become the norm, but trying the same slow and steady development track of bitcoin and litecoin... we believe that months and years of constant development is what it takes to make a coin, and that is what we are trying to acheive..

Unfortunately the coin is moving faster than us at the moment 

Sigh, If you shamelessly bump threads, I'll become redundent 

Yeap it's up

Looking at sunday,..... look you know me, the Dev with the big mouth.. Let me give it to you straight...

We are going to be using the same fix that "everybody else" used. You know lava, he takes the same pool software that everybody else uses, says that's not good enough, and then spends three weeks meticulously recoding it so it comes up to his standards.. and they are high..

But there's no denying SXC is going off, It's heating up so quickly that we are going to do the adequate job everybody else used to fix the desync, have the difficulty retarget set for flash mining, and release it..

Then he'll go back to coding the next release to his standards, he's not happy about it , but good code takes time, and even he admits better code will have to do while SXC comes into it's own...

I don't think there's many 6.3.0 wallets out there but if anybody isn't sure, check and upgrade.. Chinsu's alt coin creation service code probably will gasp and fall over when the new client hits the network...

Now you know as much as I know 

I haven't had any problem with the exchange, it looks good and performs well. I have signifigant funds held by them.

That being said it is in beta, and beta means being tested. Even well established exchanges have hiccups.

Sexcoin is presently the most profitable coin on coinchoose to mine, adjusted for stales or not. Sometimes it drops down for a short time, but it's profitablity is stable, the coins that overtake it seem to experience a very short lived pump with no legs.. Sexcoin is running like a hairy goat. More telling is profitability averaged over a week, at which it rates just under bitgem. Keep in mind that sexcoin hasn't gone the full week, and experienced volitility after it's listing. I suspect it will come first there too after it has been going a while.

Volume is surprising low, there are small trades occuring but it seems everybody is prefering to hold SXC and here I have to give different advice as there's a conflict of interest.

As a developer I suggest you hold. There is ongoing development, and usually as improvements and services are announce, prices increase.

As a miner I suggest you hold. If the coin continues it's market stabilty it's hashrate will increase and with so little coins being sold and harder to obtain by mining, the price should increase.

As a trader, I suggest you dump every coin you have on the market immediately, so I can increase my wallet balance. Even offering a price that makes mining 420% more profitable than bitcoin, theres very few takers and I want coins as cheap as I can get them.

Finally with everybody hoarding SXC, there really no need for more exchanges as PhenixEX can handle the volume. We have approached four exchanges and generally are waiting on three answers, and got a "when I get round to it, maybe".

We'll see how they feel when they aren't listing what is hopefully, one of the most consistantly profitable and popular coins among the alts.

No worries.. I'm trying to find some weak hands, but so far all that's shaken lose, is 11 SXC and I didn't get them.. seems people aren't too willing to sell cheap, though I'm more than willing to buy cheap...

If you check the coinex thread you'll see I pushed them and it was a hard sell..

We didn't have source on git hub,

We didn't have functioning pools,

We didn't have a secure client because it would fork like bottlecaps, which is pos/pow and has the issues associated with that..

And although our hashrate was higher than the coins they were already trading, it wasn't high enough...

All of the above reasons had absolutely no basis in fact and were refuted one by one....

A whole lot of bullshit excuses from an exchange that wasn't secure, and doesn't even work in internet explorer, and actually needs a coin like SXC to generate traffic to it..  

I was fucking insulted.. I "donated" BTC in good faith to that exchange, and offered to loan the exchange the difference to keep them going when a lack of meticulous programming caused a theft and shut down the exchange.

I also offered the services of a programmer with 17 years experience in business software development to fix their database for them.

That wasn't a bribe, it was done in good faith that they were geniune and needed help, and a gesture of goodwill...

You'll notice my language is a little "salty".. you should of heard the discussion on the dev's IRC channel, it would burn your ears right off...

Also check PheonixEX buy orders.. You'll see how much faith I have in SXC,   though some may interpret things differently..  

The difficulty changes every 480 Blocks, it will change at 136800. Thats in 50 blocks, at the time of posting.

I beg to differ, Neal.. The actual premine lasted from the 28th of May till the 2nd of September 2013, and consisted of about 16 million coins. It was open to anybody who was intelligent enough to see the potential of SXC.

The 2 million that you refer to was at least partially paid out in bounties.. A common practice that a newcomer such as yourself may not be aware of. I have personally paid out bounties that I had to mine, as I am not the original developer of over 400K, as well as paid BTC from previous mining, to further the interests of the coin. That figure would be somewhat higher, however there are some people who believed so strongly in the coin, they forego a bounty to assist in it's development.

Finally there has not been a massive dump, which is the point of a scam coin. Most miners are holding their SXC or asking reasonable prices for it. There has been a dump of approximately 400 K of which I purchased 284 K for approximately 1 BTC.

I won't argue with you though, I will say that you are obviously relatively new to cryptocurrency, and making presumptions about whether SXC will be further developed into a commericial cryptocurrency, that you or I cannot be sure about ... Time will tell..

I'm willing to wait and see....

47 Payouts.. Almost halfway there...

Difficulty spike.. which is why we wanted the new client out.. The retarget is fast, but not fast enough for our liking...

Still, after months of struggling along (and mining at a low difficulty  ) , It's good to see things moving so quickly..

Fendle deserves the credit for this success, he was the one who got us listed on coinchoose... And he didn't have much to do before we hit the exchanges, but he's been working very hard behind the scenes ever since, and developing some great things.. Not that we are doing anymore "coming soon" announcements, because the code is ready when it's ready... You can't say what bugs will need to be squashed..

Just broke 70M/H.. Lets see if its sustained..

Sexcoin added to Coinchoose.. The most profitable coin to mine at the moment, 622.49% at the moment, adjusted for stales.

That might not last forever, but it is impressive and indictative.

Perhaps it is time to contact "Big Vern" directly and get a straight answer. I will bring this up with the other developers.

We appreciate that he may have personal moral issues, and respect his choices.

2nd most profitable coin ! Woohoo...

The new client will address the desync issue, reduce the difficulty retargeting time so the coin is less like to stall, and anything else it may have added is our secret. We want to be the first to introduce things.

It's taking some time. The lavapit also took alot of time. this is because unlike other pools that "skip blocks" and drop entire block rewards into the pool operators wallets, or payout bonus blocks as if they were normal blocks, and are put up in a day,Lava spent time modifying signifigant amounts of code to put up a fair pool that pays honestly.

And it will be the same with the client. It will be released when lava confident that it works, and it works properly.
