Just until Richie is back.

I sent some yesterday and it worked eventually after 2 hours. However, the C-CEX wallet is out of sync. You will have to wait for C-CEX to update their wallet, maybe it will show then.

56 blocks to go.

Wait it out I guess.

Don't tell us you have never tested in production? Even M$ does it. 

Why not run with it now? Miners will just lose 1 hour of rental.

78 blocks to go.

One fugly wallet. Dev, next time when you sit on your hands waiting for the launch, rather make sure the code works first.

Premine is always a risk and the risk is directly related to the dev's integrity and commitment tot the coin. Many coins have been burned by dev action which is something that nothing can be done about and where the dev dumped premine and the people got upset. Many coins have also been burned where the dev does not have any resources to do development with and then the people get upset about the dev's non-action. In both cases people get upset.  The answer is somewhere in-between. The size of the primine is one of those things where at the anticipated price range eventually, based on other coins at similar price levels, there will never be a buy order side of perhaps more than 100k at one time. This means that if the premine was 100k or 10m does not make a difference.

The way I look at this is that I don't put anything in that I cannot afford to lose. I am very critical about devs and judge their actions because in this game dev action is the only indicator of a dev's integrity and commitment and plays a big part in a coin's future. So far, apart from the early POW launch,  the dev has been very professional with regular feedback and updates etc. Does the dev have integrity? Maybe/maybe not, but each action will be closely watched and judged and tip the scale to either side. Can the dev dump premine? Yes and no, because it is in escrow and as long as the community watches the premine account with a hawks eye for unannounced movements not in line with the roadmap and as long as the escrow holder makes noise here when there is an imminent movement then things should be fine. The escrow holder can for example make an announcement of a planned move then the community has time to decide if the move is justified or not and get out if they want to.

From a product and roadmap/whitepaper perspective Toshidesk is certainly something that will be in high demand and will therefore create demand for MTR. Demand for a coin is after dev action the biggest thing that determines the future of a coin and third on the list imo is coin specs. As can be derived from recent coins with different types of stake % then the stake % has to be not too big and not too low. MTR's stake % is in the sweet spot if you look at the money supply graph I posted earlier. If a coin has a committed dev with integrity, with a solid roadmap and product and there is demand for the coin and the specs are in the sweet spot, then it is a good combination with a higher chance of success. This is much more than can be said of most other coins.

Is there risk? Yes. But there are also compensating controls that seems to be strong enough in this case that reduces the risk to some extent. In the event that the plane does crash and burn, then the coin joins the other 99% of coins and since everyone followed the golden rule of not investing what they cannot afford, then it is not a big issue. So far risk vs reward looks positive. If it is so that Satoshi Nakamoto owns 1m BTC, he can kill the market in one go, but I would like to believe that his integrity is preventing him from doing that.

This is my personal view and what I use to assess the risk of premine in this case.

A few hours back I sent coins from the new wallet to C-CEX still on the old wallet. It took about 2 hours to go through the 10 confirmations and from time to time stood still for a long time on a confirmation even though the blocks moved. I did this twice and both times it took this long, but it did go through eventually. I then also tested sending coins from C-CEX to Bittrex and that also worked - at first that got stuck but when Bittrex upgraded their wallet it went through the 6 confirmation and appeared on the other side.

Is it my imagination or are the blocks going faster now?

I am only talking about the human/business side of things. You are the technical expert and would know better about the block chain.

Would it be right to assume that lets say in the case that the current chain goes fubar and immediately seizes completely, that what is in Bittrex now and what is in Bittrex in a day will be the same. Then if Bittrex responds today or tomorrow or Monday does not matter? Is there a need between now and swapout for a working chain since people had a day+ to send to Bittrex limping on a spare tyre?

Why I am asking is if the community acts unilaterally Bittrex may withdraw and the swapout might not happen or the new chain might be damaged? Just thinking aloud here or maybe on the other hand there is no risk with going ahead immediately.

There is no damage from waiting just a bit longer, whereas there can be significant damage if the new chain is released prematurely. If people wait 1 day or 3 it does not matter. If things are not amicably resolved, they lose everything in anyways. Maybe wait one more day. In the meantime carry on with your other coins and let this one simmer for another day on auto pilot until Monday. Bittrex staff is also allowed weekend time.  

Block explorer seems fine (in wallet)

It has been like that the whole day. The height should have been 12500 by now per calculations. Block speed should not be different with more or less people staking. That is why difficulty is there. In the case of POW, if you have 1 CPU or 200,000 1THs ASICs, difficulty adjustments make sure that the block chain moves as designed. In the case of POS it should be the same, if it is a few coins in 1 wallet or lots of coins in many wallets, diff adjusts to tick the blocks over per design. Unless of course there are only a few wallets staking and they all have immature coins. Perhaps it is the new wallet on the old chain or maybe some incorrect POS parameters.

You learn from this mistake and next time check 3 times that you have the correct address.

Sometimes if you are lucky the network rejects the tx if you made a silly mistake that is clearly not an address for the coin in question. However, with a digit incorrect somewhere in the address chances are 99% that the coins are lost. One day if someone is lucky to generate the address you used, he will have some coins in his wallet. If you made a mistake and used another address in your address book and you know who it is, then you might contact that person to return the funds.

10% POS kicks in in about 7-8 hours.

When the swap has been done and people start to stake successfully in line with the new design.

Spots is the coin guy and all matters technical regarding the blockshain and wallet. I am sure it would be fine if someone the community want to build stuff on top of the coin e.g. websites, payment engines, demand model, advertising, getting the coin listed at places etc. - everything not related to the block chain and wallet.

FPonziecoin - fixed  

3 Questions:
- What is the diff retarget time/blocks?
- Name of the .conf file?
- Details for the 20% stake - per day, per month or per year?
