TL;DR All blocks mined with NWO's orginal client after block 109680 can't be traded in Coins-e because this was a hard-fork, and those coins are in obsolete chain. Without updated client you can't send any prior coins either.I've been interested in innerworkings of coins for sometime, after getting a "go ahead" from NWO (orginal powercoin dev) I decided to give this coin a closer look. What I've mostly done so far is that I updated coin parameters towards nowadays requirements. As some of you might remember this coin was "killed" with 51% earlier so I added something little to ensure more secure chain. This is initial client update, and I couldn't do much more without breaking compatibility to NWO client. In the next update I have more tools, because everybody is using this client
new block setting in summary:
45 second blocks (compared to old 30s), less stales is better imo.
3hr (240 blocks) retarget interval (old 12hr / 1440 ), faster retarget = less stalefest / stuck at high diff.
6x retarget limit (old 4x), diff adjusts better compared to hashrate changes.
60 PWC per block (old 40 PWC), I want that "new" coins have same value than "old".
same coin cap.
added more checkpoints.
added
external checkpoint file, no need to download/compile new client just to add checkpoint.
- Users can add checkpoints into external file at
C:\Users\'USERNAME'\AppData\Roaming\Powercoin\checkpoints.dat
~./powercoin/checkpoints.dat
format is:
blockheight hash
example (which is actual checkpoint) is provided in the package, copy it in to the data directory.
checkpoints from the file are added on the fly. If the checkpoints doesn't match your current blockchain client tries to hop into right blockchain automatically.
Removing checkpoints requires client restart (you need to first remove it from the checkpoints.dat).
I'll provide checkpoints at this thread, to ensure we all work on same chain. You need to manually edit checkpoint.dat (I'll add functionality for it to commandline/UI later)
lil tweaks to irc settings, new channel and prefix. I wanna take PWC more apart from LTC, as they share some common parameters (It was possible to connect powercoin client to litecoin client. It still is but now were closer to remove that).
client is available at:

If you notice that you're client says that youre 200k+ blocks behind you have also connected to litecoin network.
Go download updated client, issue has been taken care of until I can separate us from litecoin network for good.fixed in v1.011
