Startup and release of modified p2pool planned soon. It's not a simple work due to many differences between NVC/PPC and original BTC protocols. But it almost done, and working.

Are you planning to update Novacoin to include the changes to PPCoin 0.3?

It was already updated 3 days ago.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/novacoin/files/
https://github.com/CryptoManiac/novacoin

Also it includes my own protocol changes, which will become active at February 24.

P.S.

$ cat debug.log | grep 'version 60003' | wc -l
557
$ cat debug.log | grep 'version 60002' | wc -l
636
$

I.e. ~ 46.7% of network now on v0.3.

all pools are dead / scam? / frozen


WARNING  

nvcpool.ru IS A SCAM

WARNING


pool is operating few days now, was up to 50Mh for last days, and zero blocks, there is a chance of bad luck like this, but kinda equal to finding 3 btc blocks in 1 hour on a cpu.


i might be wrong, somebody on btc-e chat confirmed that pool newer paid anything.
now hethead says it was paying at the beginning so it might be simply dead, not scam.

50 kh/s is 0.5 NVC/day, about 30 days to block.

Hm it seems more like that today got some problems with how everything shows up, or the daemon died. In its early days i was getting payed (well), if it turns out as a scam, well glad im not there anymore

Some new commits in repository:

1) Actual gettransaction implementation merged from bitcoin, you will be able to get information about any transaction, not only yours.
2) The getblock/getblockbynumber functions output improved, now it can provide the full information about transactions, which was included into block.
3) Checkpoint at block #8700 was added.

P.S. The nvcpool.ru switched to PPLNS, as I can see. They had some serious bugs due to this, but it's fixed now.
