Gridseeds work fine with p2pool (stratum). I have been running them here for a while: http://xpool.net:9555

If you don't know how to set it up yourself use one of the many public ones available. List: http://p2pools.org/

Almost..waiting on just one more replacement...should of been here today but it looks like it will come tomorrow.

The coin has been stuck on block 440127 since 5-11-2014. Your wallets wont sync past block 440127 until the next block is found. The only way (I know of) to get it unstuck is to throw a bunch of hash at it to solve then next block or wait until the hashrate that it does have happens to solve the next block. I don't know how much hashrate the coin has on other pools but on p2pool with 1.7 Mh/s it is estimated to take 15.8 days.

This is a good opportunity to fork the development and attempt to address the difficulty targeting code but we will eventually need to solve the next block to go anywhere. I believe the next block diff is at 540 

On the bright side it is reducing (technically delaying) supply  

The digibyte devs may be willing to assist if their past actions are any indication.

Thanks. One of the p2pool nodes is on the wrong chain
cryptovein and xpool.net are on the right one but since there are over 13 nodes it's hard to track down which one it is.
Not a big deal other than the node(s) on the wrong chain are solving useless blocks on the wrong chain.

Edit: actually is a big deal as the miners working on the wrong chain are still getting share credit on the right chain even though they are not contributing to solving blocks there.   

Nope. Make sure your supplying proper 12v power to your last two. Try them one at a time to see if they all work.

Good to hear! Replacement is a bitch. Mine were not a power supply problem though :/

Yea, I would advise against anyone sending any POT until it is resolved. Miners on the wrong chain are wasting their time.

Edit: I think 241xxx is the right one.

What is the correct block height right now? I see two different block chains. One is at 182075 and the other 241377.


http://potchain.aprikos.net/chain/Potcoin has been down for a while.

I can try compiling for Windows from the github source. Have successfully compiled Lightcoin before but it's been a while.

Had a couple that have done that and ended up returning them for replacement. To have that many though is suspicious.

Thanks Doom4535. No need to send me anything...happy to help.

I would just like to take a moment to thank "casinocoin" for his efforts and dedication to this coin. Without him I think we would be looking at a dead coin.

I would send you some CSC but I think you have too much already

I'm not sure if that fix actually works. Supposedly Potcoin implemented it and still got attacked with the same timewarp deal.

Some have said to look into Digishield but I don't know how good that is.

Perhaps I shouldn't be commenting since I do not believe it "smoking" pot for any reason
(I hear you can get the same medical benefits from consumption in various forms (pills) but it's not for me personally as I even avoid taking aspirin. Good thing I don't get headaches I guess. I personally don't care enough to become informed as I will never consume it and don't care enough to research if it actually has any benefits. I feel most take advantage of supposed medical benefits for recreational use.)

...but still want to see this coin succeed as a payment method for those that choose to do so. From the start it was apparent that the coin specifics where chosen for "fun". If this coin is to be utilized for actual payment processing perhaps it's time to address this and choose parameters that are more suited for such a thing. Do away with the silly 420 anything and choose things based on what may work best.

Time between blocks should be chosen based on it being fast enough to confirm retail transactions but not too fast as to bloat the blockchain (on top of other drawbacks).
Block reward depends on how much you want each coin to be valued. Smaller block rewards yield higher value.
Total  supply also determines value as does halving.
Difficulty algorithm need to confirm that everything is operating as intended regardless of network hashrate.

All of these are hard to nail down correctly and I would like to see someone with a masters in economics handle them as they are way beyond me or im sure 99% of the people posting here. Perhaps hire some people who really know their stuff to help out with these things.

I don't know if it's too late to fix this or if the currently supply creates an issue. I initially thought that it was a good idea to have a coin for this specific market but the more I think about it...it actually limits it's use only for this specific market. Any coin created specifically for retail could function and not have the (potentially) bad stigma associated with being tied to pot. The crypto coin community's efforts would likely be better spent supporting one unified retail coin across all markets.

Sorry for rambling  

I'll buy that...casinocoin is in the same situation. Their dev is MIA.

I would just like to add that I do not believe there is anywhere near 1.5 Th of hashing power attacking this coin. The reported hashrate is a result of the exploit not the cause. It is not "real" in my opinion. I am not familiar with the mechanics of the attack so I can't speak to how it's done but if they had that kind of hashing power they would be more inclined to double spend than stall the blockchain.

...don't want people to start blaming ASICs as I don't believe they have anything to do with it.

I also do not think it is a result of the proposed halving of the coin....but I could be wrong on that

I've had good success mining Doge at http://xpool.net:9555/
 

Potcoin p2pool is going nuts

Finding blocks in different chains...

I think the potcoin p2pool is on a different block chain now

http://xpool.net:9420/static/lastblocks.html

Is different than:

If a fix is made make sure it is not the one Potcoin implemented as they are still getting their blockchain stuck with the same timewarp exploit. They are currently stuck as well.
