Re: [ANN] INTENSE COIN - Blockchain backed decentralized VPN - Hybrid PoW
Folks, as I posted on the Slack announcement and the top of our pool page (while it was up), there is a problem in the pool code, not the network or wallet or blockchain. I apologize for the frustration from all parties but it needs to be emphasized where the issue lies.
It's up to the pool devs to resolve that. Nothing is wrong with the coin. The coin works fine until the pool passes incorrect arguments for payments and block sizes to the wallet/daemon.
If anyone is missing payments from intensecoin.com pool, DM me (here or on slack @intense-valiant) the TXN info and we'll fix your issues. Those issues are exactly why we stopped hosting a pool. Talk to me and we'll solve your problems. Posting here that we are a 'scam' coin will not get you your missing coins, as we don't know your coins are missing until you tell us
. This is absolutely not a 'scam' coin. This is a legitimate operation backed by a solid team that has encountered issues with mining pools. This in fact happens with many CryptoNote coins. Those that are involved heavily in the BCT community have surely seen a similar situation with other new CryptoNote coins.
We appreciate everyone's patience. The pool payments (and issues with orphaned blocks from the pool) are bumps in the road causing headaches for early adopters. Things will sort themselves out. If you can't deal with the lack of reliability while things are getting sorted, maybe come back and check us out in a month or two. Many people see the long term future of this coin and are more concerned with that than with the stability of pools. The Intense Team is certainly more concerned with the coin, not pools, and thus why we have chosen to table the Intense hosted pool until a fix is available. We are not pool operators, we are coin developers. We did not develop the pool code from scratch, and the codebase for the pool is quite large and complex. The time it would take us to spend debugging and fixing whatever is wrong with this pool is better spent handling matters more central to our mission and vision: blockchain backed decentralized VPN.
If things still are not resolved by next week, I will shift focus to solving the pool problem, but for now there are other matters with higher priority. Only so much time in a day

Very good post. Thanks a lot for the time you took to clarify the situation.
