[drwatson84]

Well thanks for the suggestion, I will if title modification would do any thing significant.
About urdubit.com, yes I know about it but sadly the blinktrade team isn't ready to add any other altcoin at the moment. There is future plan of pak/pkr exchange, hopefully until end of this year.

[Rw13enlib88]

Thanks much for concern..
Pakcoin has already been covered by them at http://pk.newsbtc.com/pakcoin-2/
They are going to cover it again in next days about pakcoin development during this period since it's launch.

pak/pkr sounds really good!!  hope it can be sooner than the end of the year, mainly because we expect a new btc adoption phase close to the btc halving 


I suggest to change the tittle cos with the new tittle it will be easier for the people looking for interesting coins in the announcement section.

[ANN] = Official thread
[PAK] = Symbol
PakCoin = Name of the coin
Pakistan's Currency = Niche
June 2015 = Proof we are long term coin
Cryptopia - Yobit - Novaexchange = where you can buy/sell it

 

[dmz241]

Pakcoin has already been covered at NewsBTC Pakistan. I think drwatson already informed this we will be putting up another article about it soon.

Kind of sad out of the top 3 posters of all-time, two are no longer around the project, and the third is le troll extroardinaire I'm sure some day we'll get some new names in the top spots.

please vote here for difficulty retargetting modification
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1483437.0

Have just remembered - can you modify the

Code:

getinfo

to show the

Code:

moneysupply = 123456789.87654321

[drwatson84]

It can be done in upgradation to next version.
Money supply can be seen on coinmarketcap.com and cryptoguru.tk block explorer

Thanks
Yes they may get back online, hope so.

network issue in pak coin i stuck on 4 confirmation since 2 days

Its issue of mining, mining is not going continuously, so it seems to be stuck coz of the last block solved for so long ago.. anyhow the problem is gonna be fixed soon as the difficulty algo has been changed to DGW and the switch over time is 23 JUNE 2016 GMT 00:00:00

[drwatson84]

Difficulty algo has been changed to DGW and the switch over time is 23 JUNE 2016 GMT 00:00:00

everyone, its mandatory update.

Please update your clients
New Windows Qt wallet has been compiled and uploaded to the official website. Mac and Linux Qt wallet will be compiled soon and will be uploaded as well.
All pools, exchanges, servers, nodes hosters, please compile pakcoin daemon from github code.

It is done in hope to stabilize the difficulty levels and mining and reducing the issues of transactions stuck when the difficulty gets high due to multipools throwing huge hash power and leaving difficulty high, making network slow down.

Will you be posting zip/exe files links here or on the OP?

[Rw13enlib88]

Great job dev!

the market is slowly realizing what PAK is about! 

A question:

the linux wallet will work for Ubuntu MATE?
I'm trying to install it in my raspberry 3... will it work? or do I need to compile specially for rp?

[drwatson84]

Thanks mate, yes it's being realized now. People are joining on daily basis creating upward trend.
Yes it should work on any Linux provided the dependencies are installed.
Yes you will have to compile.

[drwatson84]

Will you be posting zip/exe files links here or on the OP?

The compiled wallets are on pakcoin.info wallets section.

[AttorneyBitcoin]

Is this proof of work? Proof of Stake? POSP? Also, I sent question to contact on web site and never received a reply so here I am asking the same things. I can encrypt and lock wallet but how to unlock? Also coins transferred in and wallet has active connections with nodes but no confirmations on coins, explain? From OP the download link goes to a page that is not in existence. Downloaded from web site. You can't have things like that at the very beginning Sir. This is a great idea right place/right time and I'm putting my money where my mouth is, but respectfully Dev, you are behind the curve already, and will lose respect quickly if you are not hands on, responsive and have a great team. It's all up to you but the competition here is fierce and amateurs are quickly revealed and discarded. Best of luck on your venture, believe me, the alternate coin community is watching this like a hawk so go for it. Better to have things near perfect and wait for release than to have a stumbling release. Best: GDGreenberg.
