Hey everyone, just an update.
First, the official pools and why they're not paying out: I have no clue why they aren't paying out. I've tried everything I know to get them to pay but they won't. We've also got a backlog of transactions in the system that just won't confirm, that's something that I need to work on as well. This is my first rodeo on creating a coin and everything was going smoothly for the first few days. It's going to take some time and research to figure these things out. So, in the mean time I'm going to pull down the official pools so I can have the time to figure this out.
Please be patient. I got thrown in to the deep end of this by a friend that pushed me to get this coin out there without a proper development time, testing, research, etc. I also want to thank everyone for throwing your hashing power at the coin, and the stress testers, seeing what it can handle. If this was a network attack then it definitely left a huge mark on the coin. I've never done a project like this, and I admit that it was slapped together way too quickly for even my liking. I'm hoping to have the time within the next week to untangle everything, figure out what went wrong, and get it released properly. Will I be able to save the current block chain? I have no idea. Will you lose all your coins? Who knows. All of this is currently in the air. If anyone has more experience than us and is willing to help us out we'd definitely be grateful.
If you guys have any questions feel free to ask. I'll answer to the best of my ability. Just so you know, I do have another job and this has already taken up a significant chunk of my free time trying to figure out the network issues, pool issues, etc., but I am dedicated to figuring these issues out and making this coin work. Definitely a huge learning curve in a language (C++) I don't use very often and never really learned that well.
