Is it dead for good? I couldn't even get any connection to the network using the Qt client to update the blockchain..

See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=221020.msg2397646#msg2397646

Alright, this is getting very suspicious.

Again, consider the last 2 hours: http://pxc.theblocksfactory.com/blocksAuth

Within this timeframe we have been at an average hashrate of 70MH/s per second which (at 1 block every 3 minutes, as specified in the pool statistic itself) should have produced 2 * (60/3) = 40 blocks.

Yet the pool apparently found only 12 blocks, namely:  #42879; #42793; #42758; #42736; #42678; #42673; #42653; #42648; #42626; #42614; #42609; #42600

The probability of finding no more than 12 blocks when 40 blocks are expected is:



where F is the cumulative distribution function of the Poisson distribution.

No idea what exactly is causing this (scam, technical issue, or some kind of attack) but this is far far below all reasonable or common significance levels in statistical tests, meaning the chance of this happening simply by chance is so incredibly small that believing it would be exceptionally stupid.

Also rewards are completely missing for certain blocks.

Well that's it, I'm out for good.

EDIT: And another one which took 31 minutes while I was typing this out: #42966. Yeah right.

This smells fishy.

Over those suspect 2 hours at the average hashrate of 50MH/s or 1 block every 5 minutes we should have gotten: 2 * (60/5) = 24 blocks.

Yet we only got 8 blocks. (see http://pxc.theblocksfactory.com/blocksAuth)

Block generation is a Poisson process and the probability of finding no more than 8 blocks when 24 blocks are expected is:



where F is the cumulative distribution function of the Poisson distribution.

Not exactly likely.

UPDATE: Seems like the blockrate has been suddenly back up to normal while I was editing this post, not sure what to make of it. I first deleted the post after seeing it's back but now decided to post still because of the statistical peculiarity, let's keep an eye on it.

PXC retargets every 2400 blocks, just like BTC and LTC. CNC and FTC didn't die because the difficulty didn't retarget but rather the other way around.

Every inherently useless dumpcoin has a hard time retargeting after the dump, but PXC on the other hand does have actual use (and arguably more so than LTC already) so I don't see the problem.

lol network hashrate now = 10 x network hashrate a few hours ago

Thanks for the heads up nawazish1



For some reason there is no block explorer website yet

100% Agreed. There is much more potential long-term, doesn't take a genius to see that. Phenixcoin is not your random pump & dump coin. But actually I have no problem with people dumping it

This coin is about to take over BTC in no time

At least we're close to an altcoin usability imperium already.

Very cool and professional looking! I also love the mobile market coverage through purely HTML5 tech

Is there any chance of adding Phenixcoin?

Thanks

Same here. PXC, unlike most other coins and unlike all recent alternative coins, offers actual countervalue through a blooming infrastructure and remarkable developer dedication that effects actual demand. Although this is to a degree still pure speculation I see an exceptional and very realistic chance for PXC being on par with LTC or above mid-term to long-term.

EDIT: Next thing we need now is a block explorer website to become "fully operational" though

THX

BTW is there a block explorer website somewhere?

http://amst01.phenixpool.com/ ---------> down?

Hi is there a PXC block explorer website somewhere? I didn't find anything on Google or this forum..

JeanCool maybe can you add something like this? THXC

Hi dreamwatcher, can you please add PXC?

I didn't find anything on Google.

Developers of those great consolidated explorer websites (like cryptocoinexplorer.com), could you please add Phenixcoin? 

Thanks, hopefully some explorer website like cryptocoinexplorer.com will include it soon..

I didn't find anything on Google. 

It's just the price for the actual value in return: solid money.

It furthers technological progress in the computer/semiconductor industry.

Traditional money also requires loads of energy to maintain.

Anything else you can think of?
