I think many talked about Bitcoin on TV and already all people know about bitcoin. but it would be a nice idea if we advertise it on tv so all people can accept it.

I've looked into this coin for some colleagues of mine and found some issues.

First, upnp is disabled in the code itself, meaning clients can't connect to each other, only nodes - of which there currently only seems to be one that is active. I fixed that code and recompiled the wallet, but either that one node isn't relaying peers or nobody else is running the coin with a connection to that node.

Second, the old wallet issue is a simple one. The reason you get an error when you try opening an old wallet.dat is because of the 0.2 versioning. The old wallets were 1.0+ wallets, so when you try to open an old wallet, it thinks you're trying to open the wallet with an old client. Fixed that.

Third - Yesterday I had a colleague send a large amount of coins to the exchange with the custom wallet I had to make for him because the one made by the dev cannot open old wallets (see above) and they were never confirmed despite showing up on the then functional block explorer. However, I was able to send a small amount of coins (1000) to the exchange from the same wallet afterwards, and they *were* confirmed by the exchange.

Fourth - The node that is online is not relaying blocks from the chain, making it impossible to sync. I expect that this is the same issue the explorer is having.


I've found all the issues I have encountered to be obvious from a coding perspective and the fixes trivial at best. I don't know anything about the state of the chain, or why the nodes have stopped relaying blocks. So take all this for what you will.

Feel free to give this one a whirl:

Pinkcoin 1.2 Experimental Windows Wallet

There's some bugs I'm working on squishing, like sometimes there's notifications of old stakes when you make new stakes, and changing the setting to view all transactions isn't saving after you close and reopen Pinkcoin, but all the new code is strictly on the UI end, specifically on the transaction history display and in the options menu, so it's safe to use, and will make the wallet handle less like a brick.

Let me know if you notice any other bugs I haven't mentioned though. And I haven't touched notifications, fwiw.

I've been doing some testing with larger long-term staking wallets and it seems limiting the coin fragmentation is only part of the problem. Another huge element turns out to be the fact that the wallet loads your entire transaction history when you open the wallet, including all of your stakes and orphans, regardless of your filters. An experimental wallet I've been working on that only loads the last weeks worth of staking history (full history of send-receives loads normally) has had dramatic results for responsiveness on wallets that have staked tens of thousands of times.

There's still some cosmetic bugs I'm trying to squash, but implementation ideas are welcome. At the moment I've just hardcoded in a week and put an option to enable full histories in the Settings -> Options -> Display window.

Personally I don't see the need to pull up stakes going back further than a week unless your stake history is rather light in the first place (hence the option to disable it). But if people want more control over that I can implement a slider or textbox to enter the number of days to load stakes.

I'm also toying with the idea of implementing an option to disable staking notifications - so heavy staker's can still enjoy standard send-receive notifications without being annoyed every few minutes with a staking popup.

Thoughs?

I am picking up this coin and I will be taking over it's development. I backed Cryptzo both to the Pinkcoin team and the community. Now I'm going to deal with the mess he left. I have been wrestling with demons of my own, but I'm back, and I'm going to get Pink and Seed back on track if it kills me. Expect some updates soon, I'm just finishing up some stuff for Pinkcoin at the moment before I jump on this.

With that said, I don't have any time for trolls. My attention is on the coin, and I'll be working on it even if I'm the only one that is. So fling mud at each other, or me if you want. I'll be busy working on the coin, and I'll only have time for people that really want to help.

I'm going to talk to a couple of people and see if we can get a modded thread going.

If you have any questions or anything you need to say, feel free to pm me.

I'd quite like to see what I could buy them at actually. I didn't grab any from the ICO myself, sorta regretting it at the moment.

Ok, windows users: here's the password protected wallet:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/21yccfxu0njdxid/seedcoin-qt.zip?dl=0

Password will be posted at the very top of the OP at launch.

If you downloaded the address wallet to participate in the ico, be sure to delete everything in %appdata%/seedcoin except for your wallet.dat. DO NOT DELETE wallet.dat. Back it up as well, just for good practice.

I wanted to give an update for everyone. Testing is finished and has gone well. Launch time currently looks good, but Mac wallets wont be ready by then. Sorry about that.

One thing that we did discover during testing is that our math is a 'little off' for 1000x for the week at 269% interest, and I wanted to let you know. It was calculated based on the rate a coin would have to grow to reach 1000x in 7 days, which is absolutely true. But it was clearly stated in the OP that the interest would be 269% daily, which is a different thing altogether. That will create 269% more coins for you, on top of the ones you already have. So instead of 1 coin staking into 2.69 coins on day one of the growth period, it will PRODUCE 2.69 coins, and leave you with 3.69 coins to stake tomorrow, when the same thing will happen again, hence compound interest.

Anyway, long story short, I've re-done the math, and with 269% interest a single coin mined continuously over a week will produce nearly 10k coins, not 1k coins. Oops! Anyway, we talked about it and decided to leave it as is, since 269% daily interest during the growth period is the advertised spec. I just wanted to let people know, since the maximum number of coins that could be produced, depending on the number of coins mined and how many coins overall get staked, is now roughly 10m, not 1m.

I've updated the graph to show the growth:

As for the ICO, coins will go out once they mature after POW begins - which will happen after block 121. Those blocks will go by pretty fast while the difficulty is still ramping up. Testing suggests it will take roughly 10-15 minutes.

Cryptzo will never be in charge of the buywall anyway. That will be left in the hands of the pinkcoin team, or possibly a major exchange. It will also be static, and once set, will not move up or down effectively setting a permanent market floor.

Because we're confident that it's not a scam. Cryptzo is a friend of mine in real life, I've known him for 5 years. He's an apt and capable programmer, and I've been helping him with this project.

As for POD, he can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he would prefer to stay anonymous. I'm willing to complete POD on behalf of SEED if that's what the community here wants, as I am a contributing developer on the project, but I have to make clear that my primary interest is in developing PinkCoin. With SeedCoin, I'm more or less just trying to help my friend that I've known for years with his project, and the PinkCoin team has agreed to support that decision.

Ultimately I believe the primary reason for the Proof of Developer program is to provide the community some security in their investment, because we are all tired of scams. I know Cryptzo personally, and I assure you, as I have assured my team, that Cryptzo is capable and trustworthy, and I personally guarantee the legitimacy of this project as it's been described.

I don't know. They relaunched it a little over a month ago, and just going by the sell orders on the coin (which nobody is actually buying it at), it's at $9381.42 market cap. I'm not sure I'd call that successful.

I feel your pain guys, I honestly do. I had a small amount of bluechip on bittrex, but completely forgot about it.


But as someone with a lot of experience in relaunching a coin, unless you are really, really passionate about it and have a dream team of clever talent ready to dedicate themselves 100% and invest their own $$ to support the project because they love it, and not because they're trying to make loads of money... don't bother. You're much better off creating a new coin than trying to revive an old one, and even then, I wouldn't recommend doing it unless you can meet all the requisites above.


My advice to you is to find coins with a development team that has shown exactly that kind of selfless dedication and investment into their coin, and take part in their community. There's lots of good coins with great, dedicated devs that work hard and care about the community. Otherwise, keep your eye out for new coins that look promising, and don't hold any coin long term that is supported by a dev you aren't absolutely certain will not abandon the project.

Either way, I don't recommend relaunching this coin, especially if these few words cast doubt in your mind. Make no mistake, it is a phenomenally difficult undertaking. I have the utmost respect for any team that takes up the challenge... but be prepared to fight tooth and nail for every sliver of success, and take care to enjoy the experience of working on the project itself and trying to do something great with it - because that truly is the most rewarding part of it all.

Best wishes.

If you want updates on pulse, look here:

And if you want to know where the dev is, scroll down.

Yeah. Um. I'd say we got ditched for two weeks. I'm out. Keeping this community at least updated obviously isn't that important.

Sorry, for my uncharacteristically blunt and non-diplomatic stance. But this sucks.

Click on it. You'll see someone sending 12.5 generated coins, and 87.5 lgc getting sent to poloniex. Not much to explain.

Guys... I just checked your website. Someone might want to take a look. Says it's suspended.

Edit: Ah, not .info anymore. nvm.

Wow. Just. Wow.
