I'm running a block explorer at http://altcha.in/chain/Pokercoin

Bounty/donations: 2C7jiGCzUDpKjGTBZaDiEzRRwEJF88axfMF

EDIT: Also, I called it PKC. Is that what you have for a 3 char code?

Source has "POK", but PKC looks much nicer imho.

Ahh, changed to POK

don't waste your hashes on this copy coin...

This is literally what Phenixcoin is for.



Seriously, why? How do you expect to compete with phenix without bringing anything new to the table?

Nice

[hotcoldcoin]

Have all the players folded and left the table?    With a 100,000 coin premine and a vanishing developer, that is no suprise.

http://altcha.in/chain/Pokercoin is still alive, and it shows last block as #301 from 2013-07-05 20:09:51.

The chain could be revived easily.  But why bother?  I don't want to support a 100,000 POK premine.

So I announce my intent to REBOOT the pokercoin chain and to DESTROY the 100,000 premine.

Pokercoin Reboot Todo List:
* mine new chain > block 301 - DONE!
* create a new repo - DONE! - https://github.com/superblocks/Pokercoin
* release new client code with checkpoints from new chain - DONE! - Version 1.0.1 now in repo, with: https://github.com/superblocks/Pokercoin/blob/master/src/checkpoints.cpp
* Create a PokercoinEaterDoNotSend /dev/null type address, have the community review and approve it, and then destroy the premine by sending 100,000 coins to that address
* etc!


Update: New thread for Pokercoin Reboot.  For updates:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=278417.0

Now showing on altcha.in:

pokercoin genesis block with 2 next blocks:

http://altcha.in/block/5b08cbe328392be8151f5deec2dc92e7609dcbd20e0dac335904ccf538df68e8

The old pre-mine-and-vanish chain starts with block #1 hash of d0b6cee6422007da79e45490573c5752dd51bc2f646991ab264568e161080c84.

The rebooted chain starts with block #1 hash of a71d0faf981eee325849fdbc0d7b5a09b0e53e8aa0246cfdbb6f1714b7abce7c.

Rebooted chain is currently at about block #800.

try   -addnode=37.139.28.81

It is a temporary VPS, with no guarantee of uptime

[hotcoldcoin]

whoooa nelly!  That was fast.  Rebooted chain at block #888 and rising fast. 

[captainfuture]

no one is mining it

[pr9me]

Reserved!

[hotcoldcoin]

no one is mining it

Yup, since more than a month ago, no one is mining it.     Perhaps we're going to need a client update and a forking change - we'll see

[hotcoldcoin]

It is my intent to destroy the 100,000 POK premine on the rebooted chain.

What address shall we use?   I'd prefer something like the 1BitcoinEaterAddressDontSendf59kuE address.   Still trying to figure out how to make one for pokercoin.   Anyone know of scripts or instructions for that?

Or we can go with the way btc-e destroyed 110K of the NVC premine.  See: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=144158.0

Using those instructions, and the web tool at http://gobittest.appspot.com/Address we get:

* In '1 - Public ECDSA Key' field, enter the byte sequence as public key:

0400000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

* Hit send.  Then in the '4 - Adding network bytes to 3' field change the prefix to AB  (pokercoin address version is 0xAB, or decimal 171). Result is:

AB3B4DF4363CAA9E3BD9DA58020D3080BE8230A4AE

* Hit send.  Now we have a Pokercoin destroyer adress:

2BuCidDstqL7xDforAjhFxcuStL1V5jzVRa


Could some folks verify and double check this?  Thanks!

[hotcoldcoin]

updates:

* Client Version 1.0.1 now in repo - with checkpoints on block #2 and #777 of the rebooted blockchain - https://github.com/superblocks/Pokercoin

* Rebooted chain now at block #1100, hash: 6ea0105067400e0c9bdd0c19caeb5a4bdd47386fca487e0a73a0c3b0699886e650cb05684820

* Can't connect?  Temporary node:  -addnode=37.139.28.81

Pokercoin Reboot updates:

* Rebooted chain now at block #1600 hash: 7af6588965b6568c0446617d1859ed7e63183dbae2d616a52c69778f6a8d117cd90635d72966f84 977375241

* current difficulty: 0.02613930

* current networkhashps: 1417965

* A few miners are active, but none have updated to Client Version 1.0.1 yet

* altcha.in block explorer is still showing the old chain, but the rebooted chain is getting into the altcha.in database.

* After the 100,000 POK premine is destroyed, it is my intent to start a new bounty program.  Details to be decided later, but 1st bounty will go to diatonic for keeping the block explorer online this whole time!

This is great death to the premine!

I have been working on a blackjack/ poker game for quite some time. will be using pokercoin

ETA: 3 Weeks

[hotcoldcoin]

Can I mine on the 1.0 wallet until a new complied qt comes out?

Yes, you can mine with 1.0.0 wallets until a new compiled qt is released.   I don't have a windows compile environment, but maybe someone else does.

The only real change with Version 1.0.1 is the addition of checkpoints.

Premine bad!   Bad premine, bad!     The destruction should take place later this week, after we all decide on a destroyer address.

Looking forward to the blackjack/poker game.
