LAUNCH UPDATESHello miners,
The concerns brought up in the thread have been noted and acted upon.
After weighing the options, the decision came down to: altering the PoS timeline or patching the coin for a lower difficulty. A patch would punish
the people that have already mined, and lowering the difficulty leaves the door open for other problems too.
Thus after balancing the pros and cons, changing the PoS start time to keep blocks moving seems the most fair of the solutions.
The following is a quote from the coin dev:
"We took a far more aggressive approach to retargeting than previous x13 coins trying to ensure a more even
distribution. The side effect being block times were longer than expected rather than shorter as in most cases
(instamining). The solution was to either introduce POS earlier or adjust POW difficulty. Once the patch was being
written it was it was discovered that code checking the POS start time had been removed. This inadvertently led
to the client not needing a fork to update. We will be releasing a client update to add checkpoints, modifiers etc."
This means PoS has begun, and coins in your wallet should start to mature.Windows Wallet - 1.0.1.0 Client Update(VirusTotal Scan -

Regarding the pandaminers pool:
According to the pool op, the DDoS began shortly after launch and they have continued to work hard to mitigate it. However they were forced to shut down the stratum so there will be no further mining on pandaminers. They are still working to get the front end back up so miners can withdraw their coins. Some payouts should have already been processed.
While fighting the DDoS, some miners may have had their IP addresses banned accidentally. Please post in the thread if you have this problem and the pool op will PM you to fix the issue.
We apologize for the issues at launch, we are working hard to ensure that everything works smoothly going forward. Thanks for your patience!
