[ANN][PI] piCoin - The Math Cryptocurrency - Just Launched, Now on 3 Exchanges

[RealDon]

Block 780 was finally solved. This next block will probably also take awhile, but not quite as long. I'm no expert, but I think this is just an unlikely scenario and things will fix themselves and level out at normal difficulties over the next several hours.

OK guys (and gals),

Here is what is happening, to the best of my knowledge.

It seems that there were more people interested in jumping on this coin than the dev team anticipated, in the sense of dedicated hashing power.

IMHO, I think KGW should have been implemented from the start, if it wasn't... I honestly can't tell since difficulty has been in the 2000+ range for a few blocks now.

To be blunt, for those of you who are waiting for confirmations to get your coins, do not freak out. You will get paid, it just takes time, as with all cryptos.

The network needs to settle first, it's on a very high spike.

For those posting about getting their coins, please be patient.

For those posting about current difficulty and block times... everyone else sees the same thing.

For those who are just watching the story unfold... I'm making popcorn, and mining. I think I'll go play a few games or go to bed... haven't decided.

Seriously though, patience is a virtue when a new coin is launched these days, as there are so many people out there that are figuring out that jumping on a new coin as soon as it launches is their best bet at banking on cryptos.

I'm in it for the long-haul, but if anyone needs any help setting up miners, getting started, please let me know. I have already helped many others with settings on many different algorithms, many different miners, many different coins, on many different operating systems, gpu/cpu combinations, etc. Linux, Windows... I hate MAC so you guys can just bite the bullet and build a PC... the only way to mine efficiently. Linux is the way to go for mining. Windows is okay at best unless it is your main rig.

https://github.com/Paul-Bradley/projectpiCoin - I unstuck the blockchain and rolled it back to block 720 where KGW kicks in. Obviously, anyone is welcome to not mine this chain, but it's better than a stuck one and I didn't want to waste my time setting up a pool then not have a blockchain!!!

We're hashing this (unstuck) chain now at https://pi.crunchharder.net

Windows wallet coming in a minute...

This fix looks good to me. So few blocks have been mined since 720, that I think pulling this chain now would be a good idea. Diff is broken at the moment - the longer it's left this way, the more people will lose out. Best to nip it in the bud now and get KGW running.

You should be aware though we are on an "unofficial" blockchain (not that anything can truly be official in a decentralized cryptocurrency), so it's possible, if enough people didn't want to mine this chain, it might not be the accepted one and the coins might be orphaned (lost) - hopefully though, the devs accept my fixes.

I have

a. rolled the blockchain back to a time when there was sane diff (as close as I could guess without a working block explorer, so as to minimise coin loss - I went to block 720, so back 60 blocks or so)

b. fixed the timewarp exploit recently found in KGW

Windows wallet building now, but need a little while to test. Coming very soon.

Well, I kept as much of the chain as I thought sane under the circumstances (not much time or people will stop mining and the coin will die) - I couldn't tell accurately how late I could cut the chain, since the published block explorer isn't working. Hopefully I minimized coin loss as much as possible, as anything mined up until block 719 will be valid on the new fork.

https://pi.crunchhharder.net is gradually catching up with the broken blockchain, but we need two things if this chain is to be adopted:

1. Enough hashrate at CrunchHarder to orphan the 60 blocks that led to the broken sky-high difficulty.

2. Other pools to build and deploy the wallet from https://github.com/Paul-Bradley/projectpiCoin

[renegadepcsolutions]

sumpool,

I had 1006 unconfirmed pi on my account, and it is all of a sudden missing.

Can you please explain?

I've built the new daemon but the problem is ... there's currently around 70 MH/s at my pool (http://pi.hashing.at/) and I can't just switch people over without some sort of agreement.

However if we don't switch ... I don't see this coin getting fixed by the dev anytime soon ... and mining at 1700 difficulty is ...

Well I understand that, and I respect that integrity from a pool owner  -  it's not exactly the rule. However, if you don't switch people, you are wasting their hashes. It's not clear either way.

BTW Windows wallet on the way, had to make a tiny few other typo fixes (not functional/blockchain related) to get it building, think it'll be OK this time. Will send another pull request once I have it building.

block 767 was solved on your pool... which I have a 1,208.2 pi stake in...

If we were to do this... would I lose all of that? Will I be able to earn it back quickly?
