Mintpal's coin voting system is totally weird.
They disabled my account today, told me that I'm a bot and removed all my honest manual votes.
Heavily autovoted shitcoins still live happily at the top of the list though.

Didn't you use multiple account ? ^^
But it's true ... But 365 coin has been at the top and had to restart but well, I know it went up back fast enough.

Normally minting starts after 5-10 days coin age, there was a bug fixed by palmdetroit, update the new wallet and wait for the hardfork (<2 days).

@mintpal

They have added 365 anyway and faircoin cheated even trade is running. PHS is close to top-100, without payed voting i guess top-50, this is "bela figura" and more is possible, vote 5x every hour:

I asked vircurex.com about PHS, any other potentially exchanges out there?

I think that exchange (vircurex) is also having problems with user coins (at least someone sent me a pm saying they have been having issues), maybe someone can elaborate as I haven't used them recently.

There is 3 exchanges that have contacted me with interest in adding PHS and they will post when/if they desire.
(2 of these are new exchanges and I provided technical information)

 in other news: Almost 40% of nodes have updated and this is not terrible as most nodes just run the client and only update when there is a problem. I will contact exchanges and pools one more time and send out an alert to older clients today.

You are right, they got hacked twice last year, then payed customers from cold wallet which was not enough for all, so the balance of a few accounts are frozen since last week. Unlike gox or other services, they communicate clear and proposed a way to pay everyone, here is the statement: https://vircurex.com/welcome/ann_reserved.html

I used them last year and i heard just positive experience by the freicoin community, had an error message once, beside this no delay or bug ever happen, support replied quickly and solved it, i cannot say this with cryptsy.

Does any one use http://phs.minar.cc/ for mining? I am trying to add a withdraw addy but it says it needs email confirmation. Sadly no email ever comes. Has anyone been able to withdraw from this pool?

[Philopolymath]

PalmDetroit PLEASE address the problem?


I see PHS is STILL having problems of valid FOUND blocks NOT getting accepted by pools.

Why does no one address this very serious flaw in PHS.

Is it the coin code or the pools that are the problem or the stratum code?

I recently tried mining PHS again at Cryptotrolls pool only to watch in horror as several instances of found blocks were not getting accepted...These unaccepted blocks do not show up even as orphans.

Diamond & TAG and many of the POS coins seems to have this problem according and Ahmed Bodi
But it seems a problem with the STRATUM itself as p2p pools seem unaffected.


But there has not been a clear explanation as to why it has NOT been fixed.
I have seen the same problem with NON POS coins like Digigcoin,Emerald,Stable

I would really like to find out why the problem persists.


It makes mining PHS VERY unprofitable at ANY price since one suffers extraordinary variance

I suggest it is hurting peoples confidence in PHS's potential to a great degree (well mine anyway)
POS is well earning it's alternate meaning with this flaw.

Pity as it is one of the few coins with a solid active evolving dev and some class and great POS future potential..If not for this MAJOR flaw

Does anyone know of ANY pools that DON'T experience this problem?
It has been suggested the pools are skimming these blocks, but I don't think that is the case as they would need be accepted by the block chain and credited to an address.
Examination of the block chain shows these found blocks are NOT getting on the chain.
Sadly there have been some cases of this skimming by (NON PHS) pools where the blocks are obviously going to the host wallet, but this should not be confused as the same issue.


Further but of less import
I also have a wallet with a few hundred coins from may month ago that I open every few days I have upgraded this wallet 3-4 times now and still have NEVER seen it stake or mint even the slightest fraction of a coin in value..so the POS is total bullshit and has serious flaws also IMHO. Yes it is unlocked and synced and had no in or out tx for over 2 months...
but this problem is secondary and small compared to the unaccepted found blocks issue. And yes, I read carefully all instructions, all to no effect

[solarion]

Have you kept up on this thread? It's my understanding that PoW mining will be gone in 359 blocks and PoS will be restored.

Does any one use http://phs.minar.cc/ for mining? I am trying to add a withdraw addy but it says it needs email confirmation. Sadly no email ever comes. Has anyone been able to withdraw from this pool?

I have. Several times. Have you checked your spam folder(s)? Yahoo mail put my confirmation emails neatly in there by default.

[mighty jol]

wait pow mining will be gone? are you sure about that?
I mean it's mostly because this coin is hybrid that it is interresting (in my opinion at least)
why do we need to remove pow

Yup checked to confirm I entered the right email addy and I checked my junk folder but no confirmation email. I also pm'd  sheinsha who looked like they were involved with the pool in some way.

Thanks for the feedback though I will give it a little bit longer before I leave the pool if I don't hear back from them.

[kingscrown]

LGD is based on similar code as PHS [well modified a bit because not all PHS code is hasred] yet they have no minting or mining problems - big hashrate on pools all the time.

I set up a couple MPOS pools and there is a setting for POW or POS in their config, which, if set incorrectly, could cause this issue.  properly set up like phsblocks (pool closed)and minar do not have this issue to my knowledge, but it could also be something else. Maybe on of those pool ops can answer, you could also try to set up your own mpos. I know Trip had this issue the first day or two with his PHS pool. (also turn off tx option in strat setting)

Stake is turned off atm but if you look at the blockchain there was more than enough stakes being generated(difficulty was growing as well). I can help resolve your issue in PM soon as I get everyone updated.
