Where can we see the total hashrate of the network? I can see the hashrate of my pool but I have no idea about the network hashrate...

If the hashrate is correct, maybe we can just extend the 90 coins block reward for longer (6 months or so) instead of increasing the block reward... Because if my calculation is correct, block reward will halve again in 13 days or so. If the new wallet is not out by then and the price stays the same, more miners will leave and the network might be in troubles...

network hashrate == difficulty * 2^32 / 15       ## ( 2^32 is the max hash value the miner is looking for in 8secs ) (15sec blocks )

so at the current difficulty 720.5789057 * 65535 / 15 = 3148209.2390033 = 3.14 GH/s

Thank you. 3.14 GH/s is not a lot but I think we can live with it for now.

This is interesting concept for payment systems: https://www.coinkite.com/

Thinking more on the idea moonmoon had for how AOL functioned with mail and the whole CD thing.....

What would really drive people into particle would be mailing out free wallets on a USB style stick which the user can plug into their computers to use via USB(or something very common). The stores/companies that accept PRT could have a POS computer which is connected to the internet/PRT network that has a small screen which displays your payment QR code and has a USB style port so you pay directly from the wallet USB. You could have your own design for the USB plug part similar to how apple did with there USB based keyboards.

coinkites method is a bit funky IMO because they are physically printing out the receipt. I dont see why you couldn't just store that data within the wallet on the USB stick which functions within the app store.

Very interesting move for cryptocurrencies right now regardless. I think the third party companies such as coinkite working in collaboration with the dev team to craft such a product would be required as this would allow both security to come from both ends - the wallet/coin side and the app/payment/POS side,

That would give not only confidence to the user base, but it would also put the weight of the security threats on both sides rather than one or the other. Its like saying the Fed Reserve and the Government take blame individually when actually it seems both are taking hits from the public.

This would make the two a "higher" power which would drastically increase security across the board and who knows one dev team would be able to donate time to the other when needed and time is free

I apologize for the garbled wording. My mind is everywhere right now:P

Cant we use tech that's been around like prepaid credit cards since the infrastructure is already there attached to all POS systems. All we would be doing is modifying whats encoded on the magnetic strip.  I mean even if we use your idea with usb sticks the prepaid cards could be for people who don't want to use or carry around a USB stick. People already carry around CC daily a USB stick could be for more tech types and business types. thoughts?

I was thinking about this idea as well(using credit cards). But i think USB sticks are a little more usable as the consumer would be able to plug into their computer and run the new(unreleased) wallet from there.

THough thinking more on this idea i was going to say USB sticks allow users to see how many PRT they actually have when hooked up to a computer, however with credit cards, you aren't able to find out except by logging into your bank.

One down side of the magenetic strip design would be potential theft of the strip data. Some people may have concerns over this?

There are guys working on hardware wallets for Bitcoin that are credit card size with a small display on it, best of both worlds.

That point of sale setup is pretty slick though.  I wonder if it could be simplified even more to be something like Square with the iPad.

Thats an interesting idea aswell. If only i had the pay of a high end CEO i would definitely experiment with these ideas;P

Yeah you might be right there's alot of cracker types that are involved in Crypto. So there's no doubt they would get right on lifting that info from your card while its in your pocket and setting up all kinds of scams.  apps for iphones ipods and other smart phones would work along with usb sticks

So, renewed wallet has been posted...

Moonmoon, what your next plans/suggestions/actions ?

Do we need to wait some time and return to idea with increase reward/or something like this?

Couple of days before Moonmoon said to focus on developing nextgen walled for next week and after that considering what to do with rewards etc depending on community response in a while..

Does anyone know how to cancel a PRT COIN transaction that never went through and appears to be stuck in my PRT wallet?

On Feb. 8 I tried to send 256,289.9981 PRT from my PRT wallet (version particle-qt-8.7.3) to my Coinedup.com PRT wallet.

I've since sent 5 PRT and 2 PRT and they've went through successfully but not the transaction for 256,289.9981 PRT.

Here are the Transaction details:

Status: 0/unconfirmed
Date: 08/02/2014 11:03
To: PhCJXkduRc5MFZwq28sGXFf6uoNkdVUvR1
Debit: -256289.998 PRT
Transaction fee: -0.0001 PRT
Net amount: -256289.9981 PRT
Transaction ID: 04e11b831e76aee0994d6ed1ea37f66e8f0112aa57c3b936da26449c21fca041

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Go to terminal and do this and then restart the wallet:
deletetransaction <transaction ID>

[prosperity]

Thanks for the info.

When I clicked the link above it says:

“When this happens you run the wallet from a command prompt with the salvagewallet command (ie in windows C:> particle-qt.exe -salvagewallet).  It takes a while but it recovers all the stuck sent transactions.”

I’ve found the particle-qt.exe file but when I click it, it just opens my wallet as usual. I don’t know anything about computer programing so I would be very grateful if someone could explain to me in step by step layman terms how I use a command prompt and what and where the terminal is etc.?

Click Start -> Run Type cmd, when command prompt is opened type "cd <path to folder where wallet is>\particle-qt.exe -salvagewallet"
You can find path by navigating to wallet exe from My computer and C or D and folder where wallet is.

For example: Start -> Run type cmd then cd C:\Users\User\Desktop\particle-qt-8.7.3 then type particle-qt.exe -salvagewallet where User in path is your logged on user.
