Normally I'm not a fan of altcoins but I can definitely see a utility in this.
I'm a big fan of phonesex where the confirmation time of bitcoin just doesn't work.
How I see this working out, customer buys sexcoins with bitcoins (or whatever) and then when horny uses the sexcoins for things like phonesex, camgirls, clips4sale, etc.
With a 60 second confirmation time, even phonesex could work instantly because you can cut the customer off quickly if it becomes evident it is a double-spend attempt.
I'm going to take a look at building the code tomorrow and see if I can create an RPM spec file that work with Fedora. Unless someone else is already doing that.
Fantastic, I'm sure Max and Lavajumper would be willing to collaborate should you have any problems but the code sould be good to go.. Max posted the respository for the dependencies under the clients on github |

Great job getting this up and running again, thanks guys for all the hard work  Pretty sure the mining pools are broke  You know I haven't set up a P2P mining pool, But I don't think it would be that hard. I can't host where I am at because I rely on VSAT which means a lousy connection, theres over a second on the bounce to sydney off the satelite, but the infrastucture I need is within striking distance. I don't like the idea of having to travel so far to sort out problems, but then I might be able to sort them out with remote access. We are no stranger to natural disasters, the reason the pool not might be up is because the server is being used as a floatation device by a desperate pig, halfway to the coast in a torrent of water, and at those times you really don't need the stress of complaints.... But if miners are willing to beta test one, I'd have a crack at it ... Host the site on it.. Food for thought... |

The pool at http://66.172.10.55:19337 is up and running, though because the pool is running the old client, the network hashrate isn't being reported properly I have about 1 M/h mining.. The pool looked dead, but the graphs show a jump in hashrate at about the same time the clients were released. It might be that nobody was mining on the pool, or it could be that the pool was having problems and just came back online .... |

Pretty sure though the mining pools are broke The big problem I have had, is I don't have access to a linux server. The software for your normal pools won't run on windows. You can imagine how much not having code that compiled under linux easily stunted pool growth. Lavajumper has mentioned "his pool software" in a conversation so I'll check with him. His and Max's focus has been on fixing the syncing with a hardfork. The good news is that maybe we will see more pools, now that they can be set up easily |

You know as much as I'd like to stand around waiting for 6 ten minute confirms when I buy a pizza with bitcoins, I think its more likely I'll be doing it with BBQ coins.. and yes a lot of these new altcoins will die, but I think some will find good market niches and might actually prosper...

I also send coins from new cleint to the old and Vice versa , everything is fine.
The new cleint version works perfect!
Yeap it's a thing of beauty on windows.. it even seems to starts quicker. Though I had to download the block chain from scratch.. Lavajumper is running it through it's paces on a linux box. Nomaxpi and him are making sure theres no hidden bugs on any platform, although they are starting to discuss what can only be fixed with a hardfork and the changes that could be made. I've got to get supplies today, then I'll go back to playing with tables, which will take up a lot of time this week.. Link? There are no links until it's beta tested throughly..  |

Yeah yeah, I didn't put all the formatting in.. but theres a point I want to make... I notice on other Altcoins the blurb is pretty technical.. While this blurb isn't.. While I think the blurb can be changed to suit, I don't think it should be aimed at cryptonerds.. It should be aimed at the owners of adult entertainment sites, and it should explain in simple terms what sexcoin is and why they should use it. The feedback I've gotten has been great, it's helped focus my effort.. Well.. I might take a break for a little while.. It's the weekend and if my partner sees the state of the house....  |

yeap, I've been on it.. The menu system is simple and could be improved from a technical veiwpoint, but at the moment it is very easy to understand, and it is extremely easy to add pages to it. Heres what the stats page looks like of this morning. Where we have "insert text here" I thought we could have a mining how-to, and there is enough space under the network stats for a mining calculator.. i wrote a quick blurb on the home page damn.. let me switch rigs... What is Sexcoin ?Sexcoin (SXC) is an experimental crypto currency under development. It's open source code is derived from Bitcoin (BTC). Sexcoin allows global transactions across a decentralized peer to peer network without transaction fees for small amounts. It shares some of the same characteristics of bitcoin. Security : Although the source code from which sexcoin is derived has been freely available since January, 2009 to the world's best hackers, the network has never been compromised. It's decentralization does not provide a single point of failure to exploit. The transactions once made are irreversible. Anonyminity : While transactions upon the network are public, the only identifier of the transaction are the wallet addresses. New addresses can be generated from a wallet to send or receive coins making each transaction untraceable. Why not use Bitcoins ?Because Sexcoin is tailored to a specific industry, it has fundamental advantages over Bitcoin. Speed : The Bitcoin network processes "blocks" of data containing the records of transactions once every ten minutes. This data is then "confirmed" by the nodes six times before the transaction is validated and available to the recipient, creating a processing time of an hour. Sexcoin processes at ten times the speed of Bitcoin and processes payment within six minutes. How can Sexcoins be used ?Portability : Wallets can not only be hosted on a customers personal computer, but also on a website's server. This allows a customer to send coins to a unique address for that user in the websites wallet. As the customer downloads items the server can subtract the value of each item from the customers balance. The customer can leave the balance with the website or withdraw the remainder to their wallet or even another wallet on a different website. Why is portability important? The internet has proven a difficult medium for entertainment industries An abundance of pirated material is freely availible on fileshareing sites or throun peer to peer fileshareing networks. The music and gaming industries have responded by using micro transaction business models. Every time somebody downloads a song from "Itunes" or purchases an item playing "Farmville" they are participating in a microtransaction. This model allows the customer to pay for only the content that they want, making obtaining pirated material inconvienent, and in some cases more expensive, than downloading it directly from the copyright holder. Who controls Sexcoin ? The short answer is nobody. The currency is created automatically and released to the network processing it's transactions. Every node on the network contains a record of the datablocks containing the transactions and compares them in the confirmation process, preventing double spending of currency.The base code is open source, it can "inherit" improvement from it's parent. |

Site must stay on the "serious" side of the coin  OK.. I trashed it and started over .. using tab type navigation so I'll have room for the elements on the page.. A lot of the style is easily changed, colors, fonts, graphics .. Just trying to get the main elements postioned and a general layout,and make sure it presents properly in different browsers and resolutions.. Perhaps it would be easier to use a wordpress template like worldcoin did.. A few days ago I had never written a php script, or a cacading style sheet.. I doubt I'll produce a professional looking website... |

Couldn't help but share my progress.. Here's the template for the pages.. The block explorer is easy, but needs to be styled. The network stats page has just the basics .. Hashrate in M/H,difficulty and current block.. getting php to communicate with the daemon is easy, but I'll have to use ABE to make an array and do some calculations to produce proper stats like average hashrate,next difficulty, average time per block... So I'll leave that till last. I agonised over the theme, at one point it was looking a bit trashy.. I've gone for a more non-threatening feminine feel and tried to get a little elegance in, but I'm a not a graphic designer.. and it's easily changed , and yes it's just a beta name.. Heya Max... It's all good.. |

I want to believe chinsu is just easily offended and still keeps his "New Coin's resolutions". If he doesn't want to take care of his child, he should pay alimony to all who still believe in this Coin. He should give all remaining premine to the new developing-community or attend to his duties. If not, I hope, SXC will never enter an exchange.
We don't know what happened to him. He 's not offended by anyone.He just not with us anymore. Maybe something happend to him ... We just keep working on the coin because we like the coin ... Exactly.. I have'nt mentioned some personal problems that slowed me down for a little while, but the truth is we don't know if he is suddenly involved in a divorce, lost a family member, or one of a thousand other things that would prevent the coin from being his first priority. I'm playing with a website and it's taking me ages just to get the menu right. Some coins have a group of people to work on such things, and they have years of experience doing it, but when you are going it alone and don't have the same skills it's easy to get out of your depth. Looking back at at the thread where he was asking for help with the code for a linux compile, there wasn't much help and a hell of a lot of trolling. I can see where he wouldn't be confident asking for help with anything. Also some people get concerned with how others perceive them. It might not be easy for him to admit he bit off more than he could chew, if that was the case. I hope he realises that he had a humdinger of an ideal, that there are enthusiastic members of the community that will sincerely support him and his coin, or as the case is at the moment, continue to develop it in his absence. Bitcoin, the granddaddy of the alts did alright without Satoshi.. Finally I'd like to point out that the recent dearth of altcoins has changed the landscape. There were coins that were introduced and made it onto an exchange relatively easily, that are now pretty much dead, and dozens of others taking litecoin on. I'm guessing that from here on in a coin has to prove itself before it makes an exchange, and that won't happen overnight. I am investing my time in niche coins which are targeted at specified industries. BBQ for food, LKY for gambling, and SXC for adult entertainment, and I'm planning on holding those coins for a long time. Of these niche coins, I expect that SXC would be the most successful. It wouldn't be the first time I mined "worthless" coins and just smiled at the trolls haveing a go at me, and hopefully in a few years I'll be cashing out bigtime. |

We will soon start Sexcoin ... the right way ....
I was despairing about a website a little, I got Abe running without a problem, but was having trouble with the network statistics until I found out while looking into Abe's API calls, that while bitcoin might not have a RPC call for networkhashps, the altcoins do...  |

LittleDigger and myself have been working on cleaning up the source as much as possible (which was a train wreck btw). I have managed to clean up a considerable amount thus far and have compiled new binaries for Linux, Windows, and will also be releasing an OSX client very soon.
Haha.. You're being too modest all I had to contribute were a few links  ... Sounds like you've done some mighty fine work Linux and windows are good, OSX... now thats showing off .. But seriously thats great, now everybody will have a solid stable client, that can be developed further if nessecary. Can't wait until you've finished your beta testing and release 'em in the new thread... |

The block chain data must have got corrupted somehow.. reinstalled, waited for it to synchronise again and all was good.. but I was crapping myself for a little while there  My Precious !!! LMAO |

Looking at the balance of my wallet, it's going backward...

Are there any merchants that accept this coin?
Lyno has a website that accepts it. Fendlestick owns "Cryptosextoys" and will acceptit as soon as it gets on an exchange.. Thats about it.. |
|

|

I gotta get off my butt and get to work but before I do...
I can't wait to have a competition for a motto for SXC..
Thats gonna be so funny... I like "More bang for your buck"
OK.. I'm going to spend some time in the real world..
|
|
|
|
|
Thats a really good point... One of the things that no other coin has on it's website is a "proof of concept webshop" so merchants could see how it would actually work for them... perhaps it would be best to have that hosted separately on the .xxx domain.
