Hi,

Biggest reason this coin wont get on an exchange, is the wallet.
I have tried this coin so many times now, but saw this latest post and thought lets give it 1 more shot.
Downloaded 0.4.9, (full blockchain version), followed all instructions to the letter....wallet opens withing 20-30 seconds (a vast improvement) BUT...even thought i have 6 connections, a very fast pc, and very fast connection, i started with over 7000 blocks to download, and 24 hours on, i still have 6400 blocks to download.

This has always been the major issue....at this rate it will be over a week (if not 2) before i sync and can even start to mine it.

Until this is fixed, miners let alone exchanges cannot accept this coin.
I have nearly 1000 coins / wallets from 2013 to present day, and this is up there with the very worst for syncing.

If anyone can help speed it up, please let me know.

That said, the other thing which i think is keeping it from exchanges, is the double edged sword....NF19
Yes it makes it quite unique, but it also rules out virtually every miner...who wants to chuck a very fast pc using a ton of power, to not even get 1 block a day.
NF19 stuffs ASICS, fine, but it basically means this is a coin only for the 1080ti rig guys, so its only for the rich....but even then, its block reward and value are so low, thats its hardly worth them pointing a rig at it.

To open up the miner base, i suggest dropping to at least NF17, maybe lower, and having at least 2 pools. (actually better to have NF change randomly from say NF14 to NF18)
Do that and i think it could be a very very good coin.

I'll throw a weeks worth of hash at it, if i ever get it to sync.

The issue could be the checkpoints problem, when sync from start it can't auto select a nearest check point. So it will verify very slowly per block.
This is my experience on some other pos coins.

See this part of code in main.cpp:

Code:

// ppcoin: if responsible for sync-checkpoint send it
if (pfrom && !CSyncCheckpoint::strMasterPrivKey.empty())
Checkpoints::SendSyncCheckpoint(Checkpoints::AutoSelectSyncCheckpoint());

When sync from start, pfrom is null, so this logic won't be executed. That makes the checkpoints are still old ones embedded in the code.
