Dark Gravity Wave v3 has now been activated on the network, we are watching the difficulty and everything is within normal operation, up and down difficulty per block. We apologize for the "miner" inconvenience in the last 48 hours.

Massive thank you to the community and Pool Owner's for working with us, it's only up from here!

Please ensure you have the latest daemons and wallets from our GitHub to sync successfully with the network https://github.com/PhotonicBitcoin/pBTC-core/releases/

Take your energy back to oBTC then? Not quite understanding the negativity. We don't go onto oBTC and just say "Just a clone of bitcoin"

No private mining at launch, you are welcome to look at the explorer. We had over 300+ miners connected at the pool on launch.
Please keep these negative comments off our thread.

Your mining has issues because you had one worker where your wallet was put in all capitals and this causes issues with mining and the backend, please fix your wallet in your miner.

No, it's not true. Looking at his profile he comments on every coin saying there is a trojan.

Checking your profile you say every coin has a trojan, stop spreading lies.
You are more than welcome to compile the source code yourself.

Thank you for adding your pool, we've updated the front announcement for you

The Discord grew nicely with the announcement at that time, no one is complaining apart from a few on here.
I wish you a good day.

If you want to come and mine and chat, feel free to join our Discord.

Look closely, official launch time was delayed, it was for 10pm GMT+1.
During this time we told all miners to stay on the stratum while the pool was fixed, all the coins that were mined were through the official pool, you can look at these payments on the explorer too.

At launch 200+ miners were connected and waiting, please take the FUD elsewhere.

We announced it two hours before launch which gave people enough time to get onto Discord or the pool and in this case it shows by the network hashrate and miners connected.

It is still early days, we have a lot planned. What are we pumping and dumping? Developers do not have any coins, apart from those that we are currently mining once difficulty adjusted as we believe in our community and team.

Thank you for your post, all open-source code has been published on GitHub for everyone to see, we recommend all users to compile themselves and welcome in.
We understand your concerns but at this stage we will have to disagree.

All is well now, we had a few issues with the pool on launch.
Happy mining!

What is Photonic Bitcoin?
Photonic Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency working on blockchain development and use cases while using a futuristic algorithm (Heavyhash). Photonic Bitcoin can currently be mined using CPU's and GPU's. In the future it will be mined by low powered technology efficient optical computing developed by PoWx Foundation. Heavyhash accompanied by oPoW miners will allow miners to remove electricity costs from the equation, allowing regions with high costing electricity to continue to mine and be a part of the Proof-Of-Work network.

We believe that Bitcoin uses far too much energy to run it's chain, thus Photonic Bitcoin will continue to develop over time to allow low powered and low costing blockchain movement.
Photonic Bitcoin will follow majority of Bitcoin Core's new implementations and hope to work with our growing community to build bigger and better for cryptocurrency.

Our team is dedicated to work hard and efficiently to deliver all expectations and more, not only do we wish for that, we also wish to build a community that will enjoy working with Photonic Bitcoin's team. Whether this be developing the latest and greatest API's, implementing payment gateways for websites or even as little as being on one of our social platforms (No contribution is too small!)

What is Heavyhash? Any why is it different
PoWx's goal in designing oPoW was to mimic the Bitcoin PoW construction (HashCash), maintaining the cryptographic security while ensuring that the PoW crypto puzzle is optimized for PoWx's “Target Paradigm” (photonic co-processors). As the major cost of PoW is evaluating the hash function of choice, the naive solution would be to find an optically computable hash. However, a design choice was made early on to avoid all-optical hashes and Physical One Way Functions - due to issues of repeatability and their poorly understood security properties. Creating a new hash optimized for photonic processing was also not considered due to the complexity and risk of deploying an untested hash function.

This leads to the selection of a hybrid design that composes digital hashing with low precision matrix-vector multiplication (intended for photonic acceleration) to produce HeavyHash. HeavyHash is an iterated composition of an existing hash function, e.g. SHA256, and a weighting function such that the cost of evaluation of HeavyHash is dominated by the computing of the weighting function. If the weighting function is dominated by the evaluation of a real value matrix-vector multiplication of sufficient size, it can be implemented with very high efficiency by photonic co-processors. The ratio of the cost of computing the hashes versus that of the weighting function is tunable within a large range due to their different complexity orders of magnitude.
