you should have done this from the start before you announce your coins, nothing personal, actually i respect you and your effort and the concept behind it, if it was not named as PHCoin i would have been one of the supporter of your coins, or if the coins were planned seriously, the algos, wallet and not just copied and cloned 50% premined country coin, or if you just made it 100%  premined PoS coin.. and aloting 25% of it to Filipino community.. and other percentage to other country and projects, this could have an impact. lots will jump in for freecoins, thus creating your  community

[kstar]

Hmmm.... distribution can be done via philippines universities and school.

Where are you buying bitcoins?  It looks like coins.ph and buybitcoins.ph are bad price or many identification papers demanded.  Do fellow posters have contact for good price, close to BitStamp or BTC-e?

Sandia, please check the prices at http://www.coinxchange.ph.  Prices better than other local exchanges, and you can buy/sell up to PHP 25,000 a day without submitting docs.

You'll never get prices exactly at BitStamp levels for a couple of reasons:
First, BitStamp and BTC-e are priced in dollars, and if you're buying or selling in pesos, then there's a conversion involved.
Secondly, to buy/sell at BitStamp or BTC-e, you have to do an international wire transfer, which takes time and costs money.  If you buy at a local exchange like coinxchange.ph, you can buy/sell on the same day.  You can also deposit from or take a withdrawal to your local bank account for free.

Plus of course we provide local support in the ph time zone

Disclosure: I'm an owner of coinxchange.ph

Use the link in my sig. You get 200 pesos for your first 4000 peso transaction.

Guys what do you think of the upcoming scrypt asics?

RELAUNCH will be extended for a few more days: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=589992

PHCoin made an appearance for the first time in this thread in the rush to deliver this coin to Newcomers learning about Digital Currencies from the Philippines so that we can solve the problems developing on Labor Day which was the day this coin launched, May 1st 2014.  The team was proactively working at a fast rate to release the announcement of this coin as the new found solution to the Jobless Filipinos because the Labor Board will only offer a limited number of jobs in the Philippines. This will cause further problems and challenges in the Philippines leading to some people becoming homeless, death from starvation, and many other possibilities that will directly impact the Jobless people's lives and their families.

Do you know why PHCoin was created? It's more than just another Scrypt Clone coin. PHCoin is looking to introduce Freelancing Jobs Platform as another option for any freelancer to get rewards for posting a resume, finding a job, and getting hired. In addition, you pay virtually no fees compared to traditional job platforms that need funding from you, advertisers, employers, and any transaction that occurs; while the Jobs Platform we are working on won't be charging Freelancers; in fact, we will reward freelancers for participating with PHCoin and its job platform (set to release in 30 days).

    PHCoin is ready to be the problem solver to the Jobless people who could be working within the decentralized (Digital Currency) communities; starting with PHCoin, rewarding Miners, Investors, Employers, Freelancers, and the Crypto Currency community.

PHCoin will relaunch and recreate the PHCoin Network (stay up to date in this thread) I will make another announcement

The reason we are creating a new coin with a new PHCoin Network is because we simply rushed the process to launch the solution to the Labor problems in the Philippines. The problem occurred once we realized the SYNC issue causing an error in the configuration; causing abnormal amount of blocks to be mined at a low difficulty rate. The difficulty re-target should have been set to 7 minutes instead it was 72 hours. This means without much effort or hash power, the remaining coins will easily pop out of the network mining the entire coin  in about 72 hours. We appreciate your on-going support to PHCoin. Check the main thread for further announcements: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=589992

PHCoin's Job Platform will be providing more job opportunities for the Philippines country, and opening
the doors for Freelancers anywhere in the world to help out with Digital Currency related projects.

We apologize the inconvenience this has caused; but as we all know errors and mistakes happen.  
Please shut off the miners or practice using this experimental wallet for now until the new coin wallet
is created with the new genesis block (PHCoin Network) launch date is estimated for 05.04.2014
Extended for another day, stay tuned via official thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=589992

We Are Coming up with a Rewards Plan for miners (screenshot must be before the date of 05/02/2014).
If you decide to stick around the PHCoin community and you were mining before the new launch.
please take a screenshot of the current wallet software showing the time stamp at the (system tray) of your windows computer, and within the same screenshot, please display your bitcointalk username while you are logged in. A reward program from the premine will be distributed to those who were mining. Send me a private message with the link to the screenshot (premade) once the new wallet comes out; include your new PHCoin Address along with the screenshot in a private message (on launch day).   If you decided to stick around, Thank you, and we are coming up a rewards program for those miners that mined during this time, if you do not, I am certainly sorry this did not work out, and hope you check us out in the future.

Thanks for your support!

Scrypt-n was obviously the next target for ASICs. It's the other algos that would truly be shocked when FPGAs and ASICs show up.

@Mike, clean up your code, if using litecoin source, take out all references to litecoin, and replace with PH coin.. Also, maybe your addresses should start with P instead of L. Finally, use the latest source, including the latest OpenSSL.

When you relaunch, put a 1 coin reward for the first several hours (like first 300 blocks or something) and have some sort of NGW retargetting.

Where are you buying bitcoins? [...]

For your information, person to person trades are now enabled from within Mycelium Bitcoin wallet for Android.

[Mike Scofield]

PHcoin is extending the launch for this Thursday, 05.08 to develop a better wallet and miner.

What does the PH Crypto Community think about launching PHCoin with X11 and NGW?  
X11 will help bring more power efficiency when mining PHCoin
and NGW will help with difficulty retarget (similar to KGW)

[Dabs]

Well ... X11 ... interesting, I may have to resurrect my GPU rig for this one.

Kindly supply a custom BAMT image or something similar... or PIMP.  then all you need is a pool for this. Take notes from other successful coins, they have active dev teams, and whatever the specs or algo, publish it in advance, and don't change it for the next 20 years. When ASICs come for X11, the coin will be mature enough to take it.

I also have ideas for what the specs for this could be, since you're going to launch it anyway.

Lastly, forget any air drop unless you have the resources to pull it off. Just don't have any pre-mine, or very little, then let everyone just mine this coin.

P.S. Make an exchange for PHP to PHC.

[goldenpay]

Hi all ,
need 3 btc today / bukas , rate now : 410 * 43.2 p / each , minimum 0.03 btc ,anyone interested , just contact , tnx !

[NLNico]

I don't want to ruin ur business but an exchange like Coinxchange.ph gives us 1.4K PHP / BTC more than that

I def appreciate legit BTC traders within PH tho, the more ways to trade the better

edit:

Dabs, it seems that you are Director of coinxchange. Is that site fully operating already? Are there fees for withdrawal? How can I withdrawal? Only banks (which banks?) Or also methods like mlhuillier, cebuana, etc? Looks like it's really cheaper than BuyBitcoin.ph and also cheaper than the cheap remittance site I use right now, so I might use it.

[goldenpay]

hi already say that " anyone interested , just contact " , this is my best offer now , some other guys , they sell it at 16k each today , says " need cash urgent "
