PotCoin still lives for another week on Bittrex. But the price is taking a slide.
Probably a direct result of the lack of visibility of the developers.
Anybody know where this Coin is going on the roadmap?
Nowhere. I've inquired about some of the stuff on the roadmap that should have been completed already and gotten no response. Development is effectively dead. There has been a push to form some sort of alliance between coins but I've yet to see any technical benefits to doing that, or even a software platform that can actually tie them together. Canada moving to legalize marijuana in April 2016, and the weed theme coins are all on there way out. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2015/10/20/canadas-new-governing-party-promises-legalize-regulate-marijuana-sales/74260334/I guess the market will need to rely on goverment loan sharks and high transactions fee based systems from the banks to do business. Time for a new platform that is shopper friendly not just geek friendly. In all honesty I think its just going to be Bitcoin that fills the role. Its the most established and already poised for it. Projects like OpenBazaar will make it possible to buy anything with Bitcoin, and there are already BTC payment processors for the retail stores Then my next questions is why have any other coin? If BTC has it now why bother! All the little inter-altcoin tiffs and skurfs are not bringing any reputable commerce to the cann/weed/pot/maryj (did I miss a few) coin market. |

Don't need more exchanges.... need goods and services and payment processors to support the coin in the real world. |

.....consolidation, while an excellent idea, would really be a pipe dream and will never EVER happen given the personalities at the helm of all these coins are either no where to be found, can't see past their own egos or are just unprofessional imbeciles who no one would ever want to work with.
... Yadda yadda yadda ....
Anyway, sorry for the tirade....I needed a .moment to vent.
pinchecobadre A much needed therapy session! Lets all go out and drink or inhale something together!  The adoption and ease-of-use, will be a good indicator of which of the coins should be supported. That is where the discussions in the thread, I think (my small opinion), should be the focus at this point. |

I don't think changing the coin is the solution to anything right now. The technology has already far outpaced the market, at least as far as the blockchain is concerned. The industry we're all targeting is largely storefront retail businesses. Sure there are online head shops and such that will accept crypto currency, but most stores today are not doing that. Also last time I checked sending drugs through the mail was still illegal. So people are not going to be doing that with this coin (mostly...)
I think the biggest problem we have is making this thing (whatever it ends up being) work smoothly during in person sales/exchanges. And ATMs are not the answer.
+1 to that! |

heard about the takeover of coin !!!! did anyone stepped forward yet or shall we consider it another flop working chain?
Has anyone tried to contact dev. Usually there is somewhere they can be reached. IRC ect.. Anyone willing to step up and take over? Nice coin, hate to see it disappear. Anyone heard anything on a takeover or from Dev? |

 Wallet problem fixedWhat happened?While the algorithm switch was done most pools and users did not update there wallet. This caused a majority of the network to accept Scrypt blocks after the hard fork. Those blocks where accepted to the blockchain because more than 50% of the network confirmed them. If you had problems, download the new wallet: Seed nodeClients do not need the addnode configuration option, the wallet should have at least one connection to our seed node. If you want more connection (to speed up the sync) then you can add these nodes to your configuration: SNIP! To speed up the first syncronisation we have a bootstrap available here: http://www.amsterdamcoin.com/download/bootstrap.zipThis is what I needed! Thank you for the fix. Now back to my regular scheduled program(ing). |

Do we need a new Node list?
I have "No block source available" after wallet update and reaching block 139799.
These still valid?
addnode=178.33.126.221
addnode=95.223.121.159
addnode=184.2.150.152
addnode=198.245.50.213
addnode=155.4.52.20
addnode=188.232.62.235
addnode=36.78.200.85
addnode=212.243.7.37

The only pool that seems to be functioning is AikaPool.
The Net Hashrate has been 262.29 MH/s for the last month, so I don't think it is accurate. Only 2 or 3 people are probably the only ones hashing.
Don't expect to see the end of this block for another month.
The flaw in this coin is it makes no sense to spend time hashing high diff blocks with no reward.

It is so futile to use reddit or ANY other means, besides this one, since only a very, very, extremely very few, reads any of it.... That would be number one. But even more importantly, what the fuck is going on with the inability to withdraw from the main exchanges? It's been MANY weeks and still no solution in sight? This is simply outrageous... Is the main developer going to answer this question and offer some kind of plausible explanation and, perhaps, a detailed what is being done to solve this of just continue avoiding it altogether?
This is a very interesting project going -was- in the right direction with the adoption of POSv... which is quickly becoming just another POS ... in the traditional meaning of the nomenclature...
Reddit is where the devs are posting, NOT here. If you had kept up on reddit you would know whats going on with the exchanges, you would know that poloniex is back on, bittrex is waiting for the upgrade error to go away and cryptsy, who the fuck knows. As far as I know there are other exchanges to buy/sell, your not stuck with only the top 3. As far as pot becoming just another pos coin, I have to disagree on that one. The move to POSv2.0 was a smart one, despite the overall rate being 5-6%, the individual stake rate is looking to be about 15% while most coins are not staking. POSv2.0 splits the 5-6% of the total supply among the actively staking coins, the fewer coins active, the higher the stake rate for the coins that are. TLDR; Reddit is the place to interact with the devs, we are waiting for cryptsy and bitt to get off their ass and the stake rate will likely always be higher than 5-6%, I estimate we bottom out and start averaging 7-8% minimum. PoS was meant to mean Piece of Shit... it seems you did not get it. Other than that, I am probably thje staunchest supporter of PoSv in Pot Coin. Problem is that AGES continue going by, and the shit doesn't work because no one can stake since a huge portion of coins is stuck in the main exchanges and no one can withdraw them. This is just unthinkable. And even more so the no-explanation that has transpired either here -where EVERYONE is- of anywhere else, like reddit where half a dozen people or so visits. Devs should post where people go to know, which is HERE. Then again, they should also come with ANTICIPATED solutions to clear to see problems, like this horrible transition but... Yes, I did get what you meant by POS. Did you not understand what "I disagree" means? It means I think your wrong. Where is this hostility coming from? POTcoin is one of those times where you can either take a risk and be part of the revolution or lose big time, OR you can do nothing and be able to gloat if it crashes but be kicking yourself for not investing. I will repeat, reddit IS where the discussion is happening. Maybe you haven't noticed but when someone from potlabs posts here they link to a reddit post. What does that tell you? Answer: The devs are active on reddit and not here. I will also repeat, its not the devs fault that cryptsy and bitt are being slow with bringing the wallet back online, they don't work for nor do they have any influence on how fast they get their wallets synced and back online. Bittrex should be up soon, they were told by the devs to resync from scratch to get rid of the upgrade error, that should have taken them a day or 2 so they should be back online sometime soon. As for cryptsy, who the hell knows, what I do know is that it is in the exchanges best interest to bring those wallets back online so that people can deposit/withdraw/trade and the exchanges can make their profit. TLDR; Please calm the hell down and go smoke a bowl. Being angry with the world won't make things go the way you want them, you need to learn which battles to fight and which ones to just let go. I understand what "disagree" means, when it is written, not before. Especially when I believe we are all in agreement and, somehow, looking for a solution. That the Potlabs people may choose to post in reddit rather than here is just an exercise in absurdity for, again, extremely few people goes there so it is a BIG MISTAKE A Google search of the right term will take you anywhere! If you are looking for something, you will continue to look for the answer. This is how we end up here or on Reddit! |

Do what rdyoung said and you should be fine, I just sent you the amount you lost incase you can't get it back though  Thank you for the coins. The posting was more to make aware that something amiss was happening during the transition from PoW to PoS. The tranction was small for me, but I am not sure if others are lost in the blockchain. Since I have not even received a responce from the mining pool, should I mention who is not responding to keeping the sanctity of the coin and the blockchain. Do we expose the non-responding party, or just drop it as ancient history? |

From whence did the funds come? Whoever sent them is who needs to rescan for the missing transaction and then retransmit it if they find it.
Yep, that process already started. Contacted sender. From mining pool, after PoW terminated. |

OK! Superblock 1951 was found by NellySnakeMining on suprnova.cc Block 1951 is worth 514 278 COI !  Next SUPERBLOCK = 3298. Good luck! funny i lost my connection to suprnova.cc at block 1950 then the connection came back at block 1952 That is good to know. I will avoid that pool next superblock. Either some funky scripting on the pool side or elsewhere for it to not serve shares to others... |
