Hey Netheads, we got a small update for Netcoin v2.5.2!  https://github.com/netcoinfoundation/netcoin/releases We've updated openssl, added a checkpoint, removed old seeds, and did some code cleanup. Sorry its been so long but some of our devs have been busy in life as most of us do Anyway we hope you guys enjoy our new update. its nothing much, but was some needed things done to our previous 2.5.1 and should be a bit more new-user friendly. Please look out for the next update we hope to be soon. As we continue forward into the future we look to your support. We want to remind everyone that Netcoin is a community supported coin, and all work done is for the coin and users best interest. There is no premine or bounty to support such. All work done is, and has been done by the community and TRUE Netcoin supporters or what is known as the Netcoin Foundation.

NETCOIN MANDATORY UPDATE: V2.5

Hey NETheads!

Here it is, v2.5 has arrived!! Not something we wanted to do but for PoW to continue, and for the core upgrade it had to be done. Also we don't want to be a PoS only coin, so we decided to keep it going. It's something we feel is good in a coin security wise and for the dedicated miners that have supported Netcoin's NETwork and because people still do mine it traditionally. That said we have continued on our PoW to a static reward of 15 coins per block and sorry to say, but the hourly 8x superblocks have been discontinued.   Also PoS rewards for PIR year 3 are changed to 2-4-6-7-8-10% because with these market volumes it could never sustain the current reward settings.

v2.3.0 , v2.3.1 , 2.4 ,and v2.4  users will need to backup of course, and save your wallet.dat file in a handy spot then clean the AppData>Roaming>NetCoin folder and start the new v2.5 from scratch. Once synced, you can then shutdown and replace the wallet.dat and restart the wallet.


Any questions just ask

Go NET!

---------------------------------------------

Indeed.     We're testing mac/linux clients shortly...once that's finalized, we'll be prepping the exchanges and everyone for the new client!

Apologies.  Been busy with a lot of various projects and we're cycling back around...update post below.

Hi All,

Yes.  It's been too quiet and NET/the community deserves better.  That said, some of the core team has re-focused into other projects (happens in crypto), so in the coming few months we'll be looking to try and get some talent in to manage and continue to develop the coin. 

The wallet/core is currently being tested (not quite ready for release as of yet) but we'll keep you posted.

As for other updates that weren't posted here on BTC-talk:

1) NET declared an official pact/treaty with Mazacoin (the first ever blockchain pact between two cryptos involving a sovereign state recognized currency with another non-native currency).

2) NET has been in discussions with MZC/EXP to develop and build some complementary communities and work together on various projects.

3) We are exploring some major updates (after the next client release) for NET to try and leverage it's name/branding.


We had a wild day yesterday (47btc volume).

We're still here (we are always around in the skype chats.  Feel free to join us!
https://join.skype.com/z8XadOqS5XRh

The updated core has been running for a few weeks without issues (testing).  The dev is still tightening up some things, but hopefully we'll be making some announcements soon!

We're hunkering down to compile some of the thoughts/plans...should be a few weeks and we'll release some info/roadmap out to the community for feedback.

Hey There,

Nope!  Net has not been abandoned.  New wallet updates are being worked on (we were updating the coin core and that's taken longer than expected).

Additionally, we're in the very preliminary stages of roadmapping out the next phases for NET. 

Thanks for reaching out!

Hey Folks,

We had a question about the PIR (PoS reward) halving.



Year 1 reward scales end on Block # 945,600.

As of writing this, we have 68,748 blocks to ago.

Using an average block time of the past 500 blocks (~500 in approximately 410 minutes) we're at 49s/block.

that (by my calculations) puts us at roughly 39 days away from the change.

http://netcoin.io/minting-stake/

PS: have you looked at the new website yet?  http://netcoin.io/

Foundation website in the works as well.

"these coins".....*cringe*.  Yes, there have been in the realm of crypto a LOT of pump and dump (or I'll call them coins built and pushed solely for the sake of profit, no regard to community surrounding it).  While Dev's have come and gone or gone on leave for NET, the core (and core principals) of the coin have remained...in that it's always been a coin focused on trying to build community and be a coin where those involved (be it time, money, energy, etc) are doing so because they believe in the value of the coin and the effort.  That doesn't always reflect in a "market" value (which many people gauge as a coin's worth). 

Would we all like to make some profits?  Sure, who doesn't enjoy that thrill of seeing your work result in gains.  But, that's not the driving force behind the crew & teams here.  Maybe it is for some of the folks in the community, but we're more focused on doing right and trying to build something lasting and worthwhile.  Coins focused solely on P&D don't have that long-term vision in mind...(unless they believe they can P&D for the foreseeable future?).

Hey All,

A few more updates for you:

1) NET Block Explorer: http://explorer.netcoin.io/
- It's a "simple" explorer but we'll be building it out to be a bit more robust.

Also, in the meantime if you need a richlist: https://coinplorer.com/NET/Addresses/0/Top

2) As for the comments by Hippie Tech, Big Johnson is not Ciberpinoy (not sure where/how you arrived at that statement).

3) We're in the testing phases of the updated coin core (NET's been updated to the latest bitcoin core), and will begin to make official announcements of the updates/changes soon.

4) We're working on our new foundation website (the old netcoinfoundation.org site we lost in a server outage and the current foundation/team do not have access any longer to that domain).  We hope to be showing our projects, projects that others outside of NET are building (and that we support), and a full transparency page to show all the foundation funds and every transaction out/to projects.

5) Netcoin site:  We are finalizing the new netcoin.io site and should be launching today/tomorrow.  We have some more content to build into it, but we are going to release as it's an improvement over the existing netcoin.io page. 


Which brings up the next point...we'll have two sites, one is for NETCOIN and everything coin related (meaning, the coin, the engineers, the projects, mining, developments, FAQ's, White papers, etc).  The other is for the Netcoin Foundation, which will as mentioned above, show the finances / investments behind Netcoin, the projects being supported and/if funded by the Foundation, etc.

As said a little bit ago, we're not going anywhere, and are in the midst of a building push at the moment.  A lot of dedicated folks still behind this coin, and a lot of work still being done. 

Sorry you feel that way.  Most alts took a beating with the both swing in BTC as well as a bullish rise of the USD.  But yes, there have been some dumps of recent on NET.

It's been difficult (we know) to organize, but we're about ready to release the new website as a precursor to some updates to the coin & wallet.  The past few months of NET have been wild.  From websites going down, re-structuring of the team, new team members, new websites....all of it have provided valuable lessons which we're implementing to make NET better.

We'll try to keep folks posted/updates, so hang tight

"just" a user/investor:  Those in NET we consider are more than "just"

As o0o0 said, there is a lot in the works, and soon we'll be showing it.  Don't have a definitive timeline on the new sites yet (we're locking everything down, private servers, security, etc).  But, hang tight, as we begin to announce what we're working on

Glad to have you as part of the community!

It's currently down.  We're pulling together a new website / function (including new - dedicated web developers).  Sorry for the inconvenience...but hang tight   Good things ahead!

Yup.  Main market is currently Cryptsy.  Volume has quieted recently, but that's ok.  It ebbs and flows (last months we were in the 2-5btc ranges).
