[NSFW] Official Sexcoin Thread - New MANDATORY upgrade: KGW Timewarp attack FIX

[portice]

Get Kruncha to design the logo, save monies and give him coins.  He's good at type of thing.

[LittleDigger]

Yeap.. I really liked his motto "Sex Sells, SXC Buys", but we had to have a logo ready for the new client, so we bit the bullet..

[ISAWHIM]

Also the block-explorer is not correct, it is several thousand behind. 128927 is the height I get.

Any idea on when the new client will be released? The one with shorter block retargets...

I agree that per-block is a bit much, but "every EVEN block", with a 4-hour target-time... or "every 10th block" with an 8 hour target-time would be better than what it has now.

Note, since the target it 4-hours, you would not do a 100% retarget-level, you would only do 50% of the expected retarget. If it was too short, it would adjust closer the next time, and the next, and the next, until it hit the 4-hour expectation.

To determine 10th, is easy...
if int(Block-height/10)*10 == Block-height then adjust-diff
Eg...
Block-height: 223 [ int(223/10) = 22 * 10 = 220 != 223 ] No retarget
Block-height: 240 [ int(240/10) = 24 * 10 = 240 == 240 ] Retarget next block...

Could be done faster with bit-values of 8... with a simple mask or bit-shifting the block-height value.

But you get the idea.

Also, Try like hell to get this on any exchange again. (Other than the one listed, or having to depend on private deals.) That makes it easier for shops to accept coins as payments, unless you simply get more shops selling stuff that is normally free, using these coins as a bonus for other linked-sites, to more content. (Eg, convince them to give coins away to paying members, for use on other sites. Coins they got as payment for viewing content or coins they purchased from an exchange. Show them how simple it is to setup an exchange account, or set them up with one yourself, for a cut.)

This would make a great "contact me" payment, or "gift her/him" for an adult social site. (Like how OK-Cupid uses BTC.)

[Timelord2067]

Exactly,and I don't blame you or anybody else for quitting the network.. (blah stuff) ... If you have a wallet, keep it running.

Sorry if this is going to sound a little dense, I thought I could only have one Alt / Digital Coin's wallet open at any one time ~ I can't remember where I read that, but it was when I first get started about four months ago).  Will open SXC Wallet when I get response. (am padding my WDC for the last week as I've noticed a dip in it's Network Hash rate)

Unless there is some windows stupidity at work I don't see why you couldn't have more than one open.

[jamestown2035]

Any thoughts on possibly changing the name to maybe sexicoin then it could have an easier time making the exchanges?

I'm looking into the block explorer issues right now.

I have one hurdle left to overcome on the new client. Right now it is switching out correctly for both 'miners', and 'passisve' clients, but it won't download a new block-chain. The retarget will be included with the next release, barring any 'weirdness'

Any 'well-coded' coin should happily co-exist with any other 'well-coded' coin. Unfortunately, many of the alt-coins have the same fatal flaw we are working on fixing right now with sexcoin.( Hence all the buzz about the new client). The only real collision I could envision with a well-coded coin would be in the uPnP mappings getting squirrely, which could conceivably happen, but I haven't seen it.

We have been approached by an exchange, but we declined to negiotate on SXC being added until we finished bringing out a client that had no problems.. That includes the desync issue, and difficulty retargeting. When Lava has finished with the client his next project is an exchange, which will undoubtably list SXC.

I doubt changeing the name to Sexicoin would make much difference, and we are branding this coin to the users and suppliers of the Adult Industry, not the cryptocommuntiy. Our coin won't be branded as having something to do a precious element, or rely on rarity of supply to induce value, as it is not being produced for pure speculation, but will rely on gaining value through real world utility as it is being produced for commerce. We want it to be used as a currency, not a commodity.

Also, Try like hell to get this on any exchange again.

As far as I know, It never has been on an exchange, but I wasn't aware of SXC for several days after it's release, which exchange are you talking about ?.

We have been "softening up" exchanges whenever possible. As an example,when CoinEX lost 20 BTC while in beta, we responded by making a donation of BTC to help the operator pay out lost coins to his users. We don't see it as a "bribe", but we have hoped this will generate goodwill and make that operator more inclined to respond positively to us.

But we won't be able to get on exchanges as easliy without community support. If anybody truly wants to see this go to an exchange very soon they can visit this thread and vote for SXC.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=264016.msg2984683#msg2984683

Only four more votes and SXC will be level pegged with Worldcoin in popularity, and that makes our job to convince the operators of exchanges to list us so much easier. You can do that now

After the release of the new clients, you can visit the exchange threads and simply ask "when are you going to add SXC ? ", as having the developers the only people who seem to want a coin on an exchange makes the job harder for the developers yet again.

You can also put your money where your mouth is, and once we are "officially" approaching exchanges, you can point your miners to SXC and up the hashrate. Once again the higher the hashrate, the easier it is to sell the ideal SXC to the exchanges.

These things require so little effort individually, but collectively they would make a big difference.

I'm against the name change.

SexCoin is the name and SXC is the short three letter abbreviation.

Just my BTC 0.0002 worth.

A Bonus of 69 SXC each.   

"You don't understand! I coulda had class.
I coulda been a contender”


[LittleDigger]

My apologies for lateness of the zombie bonus round, as of midnight my wallet wasn't finding a node so I couldn't send them out. Don't read too much into that, I'm at the ass end of the earth and my connection is like the old dial up with a couple seconds of lag thrown in just to make life extra difficult.

Also my hashrate dips to next to nothing for a while each day, again don't read to much into that either, It's not a dev jumping ship because he knows something you don't, It's a miner with his rigs overheating even though he's reduced his hash to 50%, and having to shut them down, which is fustrating when I think the days of easy mining are rapidly drawing to a close.

Finally, we've defied the odds.. There are coins on exchanges that are dead, and we are still rolling along.

We have had a Dev who wanted to go on an exchange, and was willing to change the name, and has not contributed to development for months. This "make a quick buck, just find some suckers to be bagholders" mentality is why so many coins are dead or dying.

Once you get your coin on an exchange and dump what you have, why spend all nighters solving problems?. Why have your wife angry because you spend so much time on the project? There's no profit in it for you anymore.

Finally I note most of the people who are in a rush to have a place to dump coins are pretty much "newbies", who weren't around for bitcoin and litecoin, and think that haveing so many cryptos is normal, and a crypto can be a success in a week. It can't, bitcoin didn't go to an exchange in a few days, and neither did litecoin.

From what I have been told we are looking at releasing the new client in a matter of days. From there we will try to push to the exchanges. Lava isn't going to dump, I'm not going to dump. Instead we start pushing websites. Think of how many websites accept litecoin. Now think of how many adult site's , from little sites like Lyno's to webcam sites to adult dating sites, are out there that need some sort of universal "token"... Thats where the real work begins..

And what would be the value of SXC when it far outstrips any other crypto in sheer number of websites using it ? But don't expect it to happen with a week, or a couple of months..

Finally if you are really impatient to get rid of your SXC, I'm buying, so PM me a fair offer...

P.S We are now ranked #11 in the popularity poll, 1 vote more than worldcoin and two votes away from megacoin.. Good work guys..

[lavajumper]

mmmm....Also, I set up a permanent Node:

74.122.234.52:9960

and No...That's not the wallet the lavapit mines into

Fat finger mistake:

74.122.234.52:9560

IMO the most important thing is to get exclusive contracts with the porno sites, otherwise using any crypto doesn't provide any advantage to SXC.

 I'm sitting on a sizable amount of SXC and will not be dumping any once it goes on an exchange

The webcam girls we have talked to are pretty much drooling over the thought of using SXC..

The other currencys simply don't have the branding, and won't be using any specail features coded into their clients for the industry, so won't gain a foothold. How many devs are out there actively trying to recruit sites?.. We will be starting with the smallest. We can also use our branding to gain publicity, another crypto isn't news. A crypto aimed at "the sex industry"... worth a bit of hype ...

But "kink.com" for example, has a host of kinky sites under it's umbrella and uses it's in house currency "kinkcoins" so users can get a taste of materail from a site they own, but the user isn't subscribed to. We think they are the sorts of sites that will hold out the longest.

Small sites and struggling sites will be the first to adopt, and as the currency and the business model gains traction, the huge sites will pretty much have to adopt as not doing so hurts their business.

As I said before SXC is defying the odds, and I have been trying to buy, but everybody seems to be holding. I don't think there will be a huge dump, although certainly some holders will have weak hands. It will be interesting to see what the market does.

We had the huge miner hit the network up again, but this time they were way more gentle, and that tells me that the info we recieved was probably just the result of an idiot boasting on an IRC channel. Somebody with a lot of hash is betting SXC is different than most of the crypto's and stashing some away...

SexCoin is now added to PhenixEx.com Cryptocurrency Exchange !

Well that was easy...  Only 10,000- up for sale.. too early to see what happens..
