Looks like everything is dead!

Bitcointalk has been down the last couple of days Tongue

https://github.com/Crestington/PayCon/commits/master

Last commit was 12 hours ago, previous commit was 1 day ago, and before that was 2 days ago

Things I have been working on

Fixed up all the naming and placeholder text
Add in use of minimal Coinage
New icons, images and splash screen
Fix to the IRC chat
Links to relevant resources in the social tab (Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Forums)
Change to the reward per year as 100% per year reducing down to 50% per year every 64X increase in difficulty (100%, 75%, 62.5%, 56% etc.)
Added in a maximum cap on the Stake reward of 30 Coins per Block
Change to the minimum POS difficulty
Bumping of the version and rejecting all previous versions before the hardfork
Change to the Split and Combine thresholds
In Statistics, some small capitalizations, and Volume changed to Total Money Supply

Still to do:

New Checkpoints
New Checkpoint Master Key
Final checks regarding difficulty readjustments and rewards

Then we pick a date and notify mining pools and exchanges to upgrade their wallets.

A picture is worth 1000 words so I have 3000 words for you!

Note: do not build from my source until I've finished all my checks and we've discussed all the changes or you may end up on the wrong end of a fork. In particular I want to discuss the change of the maximum Stake reward per Block. A cap on the Stake reward per Block incentivizes having smaller Blocks for Maximum reward which is why there is the change of 30 Coins maximum Stake per Block, this change would mean that maximum yield on Stake is reached when having Blocks of 1000 Coins or less. The change to the Stake thresholds also takes this into account to be more automatic, Stake split and combine thresholds are wallet based so users who compile their own clients can change this themselves. As we progress later on, split and combine thresholds can be added as user settings.
