Wow  decent market activity.

The Cannacoin team were featured guests on YouMeAndBTC for Episode 45: http://youmeandbtc.com/podcasts/ymb-podcast-e45-understanding-altcoins/

[2Give] / GiveCoin 2.0 is also trying to switch from PoW into PoSV. The CCN devs may want to be in contact with the devs from 2GIVE who are trying to go to ReddCoins PoSV. The devs can all discuss things and help the process along which would make sure things go as well as possible.

That would be interesting to chat with them and see their progress.

Wow  decent market activity.

It seems like people are buying up coins before the POSv change. The upcoming projects for cannacoin look very promising indeed : )

[ReserveToken]

Feel free to explore the Cannacoin POSV github while we work on it: https://github.com/Cannacoin-Project/ccn-redd

5% annual interest in PoSV phase

Will this also be for CCN?

Best regards!

[Cannacoin]

The rate of anual interest for CCN will be 1%

How's the PoSV code update progressing?

How's the PoSV code update progressing?

from what i've heard from the IRC chatroom they are working on it all day, everyday.

dedicated group of coders for sure

How's the PoSV code update progressing?

Here's the deal with the POSV transition... we believe the code is correct, but it can't be tested without launching it on the entire network - which is risky.  Josh and I have looked through the code repeatedly over and over and we know exactly where the issue that is preventing us from properly testing the protocol is (generating stake blocks) and we believe we know why it is happening.

So we have decided to setup a Cannacoin testnet in order to test everything before launching it.  Unfortunately, we didn't realize how necessary this would be until now.  It will be very valuable for us to launch a test-net for future protocol changes and testing, so better late than never.

We should have the test-net setup by this afternoon and begin testing late tonight.

Anyone that is interested in compiling the testnet client and setting up a node would be providing a very helpful service - however, you will need to have some linux/unix skills.  Alternatively, if you like you can setup an Ubuntu installation and install TeamViewer so we can access it as a remote PC

We've already had a few people approach us to run test-net nodes... thank you to those folks.

I would recommend getting in on their services early. There isn't much more than addnodes right now but I expect big things with their services 6 months from now. I would try to pre-pay for 1 or 2 years as prices for services like this will only increase.

Thanks, I'm going to forward that info.

We have the test-net up and running now and we will setup seed nodes and a test-net faucet soon.

We got the test-net up, and after some initial issues and investigations, we were able to get some blocks staked.  This is good news because it means we were right about our hunches.   More info soon

*edit*

Test-net properly staking and we are making transactions.

Exciting times for Cannacoin folks  

Special thank you to dfletcher the Shibecoin dev for giving us a few minutes of his time to help us out!

Announcement 11/17/14: PoW -> PoSV Testnet transition a success!

Good news is in! We have successfully simulated and transitioned Scrypt PoW -> PoSV twice over CCN testnet!  After hundreds of hours of code review, testing and debugging our peer to peer connections are working, we are generating PoSV blocks and transactions are broadcasting/confirming as expected!  This means we've done it! We're getting ready to compile and release a new update/wallet over the coming week or so.  You can expect a more formal and detailed announcement to follow in the coming days with exact fork numbers and protocol changes listed.  

I am personally extremely excited to bring this change to the CCN community! I am so incredibly proud of alll those involved in making this happen, after this battle I can honestly say the CCN team is a completely new team and each one has proven themselves to be true protocol specialists. Special thanks to the entire CCN dev team (James, Patrick, Phil) and also to our colleagues Kassado and Dfletcher for the invaluable tips and tricks from your experiences with the Redd/POSV codebase.  Without everyone contributing this would have not been possible!

Toke up, Cheers!
