I'm glad the coin is running well. Below are some nodes:

The following node has been running since day one and will continue to run:


A few additional nodes:

We're planning the code base and improvements on the PoW. I'll talk more in next few weeks.

You can try these too:

http://m-chain.info is the block explorer we have, and points to the main node.

To all,

It was of course a frustration that the issue took this long to be fixed; no room would be given for excuse. Instead of speaking these things (feel free to PM lionheart anyways), I want to issue the following fix to the block stuck which was at #257053 (edit). If your current block No. is less than #257053 (edit), download the following wallet to get over where stuck (win and mac os, respectively). Also you can download the block chain without syncing from scratch if this is the case; provided github source code is attached below as well.

Github source code: https://github.com/ermis-project/ermis

Wallet of Mac os: http://coinmagi.org/files/ermiscoin/Ermiscoin-Qt-v1.2.0.1-macos.dmg

By the way, this is Joe from Magi - XMG, and would like to push ERM forward in a certain way, at minimum fixing the things. lionheart is my friend for more than 1 year, and I am quite sure he is a good person and persistent to the initial plans. As far as the wallet tech is concerned, his specialty is mostly in the business instead of dev. All of people have a real life and some life pain, and that did happen. And yet the team still has a strong wish to go ahead with this coin. lionheart does have the plan and has actually started his business in some form; what he is doing is exactly coincidence with the plan of ERM as planned, and I believed he will simply carry on his plan though real life sometime offsets the steps. In any case, I simply wish this coin proceeds, and also quite sure lionheart will take the role as done in the past.

Regarding ERM itself, I very much like pull the PoS-II into ERM, with some features specifically designed for ERM. Specs would be announced later on.

p.s., the block chain has moved few blocks after where stuck 257052; feel free to check the block chain, all clean and no hidden facts; let the team know per your suspicion.

What is PoM?

PoM - Proof of Mining; in simple,  the magi team rewards commensurate coins to every participant in this campaign, in accordance with your CPU hashrate invested into mining XMG.

PoM is also a built-in feature of XMG, thanks to the block reward design (see this link for more information). A detail explanation is shown below:


Why PoM?

The XMG's block reward design has to bring the network hashrate into an equilibrium which would never go a very high or low number. Though the equilibrium state is strongly affected by the coin price, it is anticipated that the total hashrate could stay an appropriate level. This is a good feature to avoid huge waste of electricity consumed in the Bitcoin or other Altcoin's network. However, the weakness lies in the fact that one can gain reasonably high hashrate to dominate over the rest of the network. Although this is undesirable feature, we have taken a strategy, i.e., the PoM campaign, to avoid big-hash miners.

In general, people mine for profits, that means miners leave when they are unsatisfied with mining rewards.  

The PoM campaign encourages the persistence of generic miners by giving away a certain amount of coins to each participant. So one will receive mining reward plus PoM campaign reward. Even mining gets zero reward, one will receive the benefit from this campaign.

To the XMG network, we will have a fixed number of people mining around to compete the big-hash miners. In normal situation, people would quit after mining something without a reasonable ROI. This is primarily the reason of this campaign, and it is anticipated that the generic miners will maximize their shares.

What does "2nd PoM" mean?
The initial PoM (1st) is launched here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=802681.0.

Duration
About two months.

Participation & Rules
# Each participant has to register along with the bitcointalk username (registration: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1gRtkfhMhWx2jAD-p74FakfyjchYNQZuD2A7i0OCitQw/viewform?usp=send_form)
# Each participant will need to mine in our official pool: https://pom.m-hash.com
# Hard rule: your bitcointalk user must be registered before April 17, 2014 10:00 PM (EST) and be active; and you must be a Member.
   = If you aren't yet the Member, mange it to this level during the campaign.
   = If you are new to this world and just registered (so after April 17), please send us message.
   = If you don't like to use bitcointalk and have no plan to register a name, please email us: pom.m.hash@gmail.com.
# You muse mine with your CPU and total hashrate not exceeding 250 kh/s.

Pool rule
https://pom.m-hash.com is our official pool (created and managed by Historical) designed for PoM; mining hashrate higher than 250 kh/s is not allowed. Warning will be giving to people who put miners exceeding 250 kh/s, followed by account locking and worker removal if hashrate is not depressing upon warning.

Reward
We have a certain amount of pre-set funds available at this time, and intend to get more funds. The funds will be distributed into all of the participants. The following will affect the amount of coins one will receive.
# The number of participants;
# The reward will be proportional to 1) hashrate (up to 250 kh/s) 2) mining duration

(we will make sure the method of how-to-calculate soon)

Energycoin community, this is Joe from magi and I am here to help the block chain. Basically the new chain grows up from a backup chain provided by Jan  (hosted in my server: http://coinmagi.org/files/energycoin/Save_blockchain_EnergyCoin_block1051199_Crypto4Jan.zip), block # 1051119. This means all your prior staking reward after block # 1051119 (old chain) is invalid. Unless dev team wants to use another chain, you're unlikely to get those coins back. All transactions before block # 105111 are valid.

To grow the new chain properly, please download the conf file from here:

http://coinmagi.org/files/energycoin/EnergyCoin.conf

The following nodes are those I have, please make sure any other nodes which contain the old chain are removed.

I suggest community uses the following nodes and any others the dev team announced.


Let me know any questions / suggestions or a guide for setting up new chain you might need.

p.s., make sure you have backed up your wallet.dat.

There isn't any option to put a limit for members to vote when I create the poll post, but I guess the forum has the default limitation, likely - Sr. member.  

Looks like people like "Σ";  I'd say a symbol like a currency is better, but anyway this is voting.

Thanks, Spexx.

It's not shown up properly in my working computer I am watching right now, but it was okay yesterday when I was using my home computer to post.

Thanks for this; actually I found the Unicode but thought that is not a good option; here it is:

Ӿ

added as #20. It looks different, let me know if you want to put your image there; I'd recommend the Unicode for easy use.

I included the original image now. I cut the symbol from the original image so it looks some different. To keep the image symbol in the same line as the numbers, I have to reduce the size further (using such small size is to test how it looks like when we embed the symbol into the normal text), but that make the symbol unclear. I added such display too now. Another thing this the white background which make the line looks strange. One concern is I am not sure how we can easily use the image symbol in the regular forum posts since we're not able to use html code here too.

Please suggest me additional symbol, I will add it to the poll list.

My opinion on the method creating the symbol:

• 1st consideration: existing Unicode character (no need of changing)
• 2nd consideration: existing Unicode character plus adding horizontal bar or html code

I said not the point at this time.

I agree that "Rofo" "will never leave noble" (based on what I read). What you guys need to do is to come up with something to relieve his pressure as a dev, he'll be happy to take a role in the coin. I can understand what he is talking about when he invested a year into the coin and tried to establish business around it, however he mostly forgot this is crypto, most of people approaching crypto is for profits and most of them just come and go. As a dev, I can understand the feeling, luckily I won't quit my real job.

You're obviously talking something which is not the point at this time; you don't care about Rofo leaving the dev/leader position but the look of the wallet? even NOBL is stuck with cryptsy.

I agree. After reading few pages back, I can understand Rofo's intention. Now I start to think about an idea: NOBL needs a team rising from community, a NOBL foundation something like that, that should be exactly what a crypto coin ends up with. There will be no so-called dev/leader etc, coin operates based on the foundation. I am sure Rofo will be glad to take a role in that based on what I read. Each member will be part of the foundation; one is the developer but no special than the one who is responsible for the marketing.

Edit, if one is unsatisfied with the coin specs, he should be able to raise up the issue and propose possible solutions, foundation / community votes for that. Once decision is made, things should move forward affirmatively rather than looking back.

Anyway, just my thought.

It'll take time to optimize things..
