I don't get it. Even with all this talk of broken chains people continue to mine why? In the off chance that their chain is the one they go for and then they have a huge stash of coins from the easy mining? Why keep mining a broken coin?

Difficulty has been rising ever since 0.8.9.9 was released. So the problem where difficulty kept jumping to near zero is fixed (by removing KGW). I don't think there are many chains anymore. I think the chain forking happened when blocks were really fast and now there is one chain. It was a normal insta-mine scenario like at coin launch. Maybe you're right. Maybe I'm right. If everyone checked this blockhash, we could find out. So how about it?

Code:

> getblockhash 116170
000000000037e5b31ddd26d24b9abe3739c89acbad6efa5cf4ee1be3acacf2e6

Make sure you move out your old config directory and use staycrypto's seed node when downloading the blockchain: "addnode=192.241.240.148"

I've updated the blockchain charts for version:
http://cryptometer.org/version_90_day_charts.html
You can see 4 empty days that were erased because of the KGW exploit followed by a couple days of blocks generated way above the target rate. But it's levelling out now. And difficulty won't go down anymore because the exploit is plugged. The pools might even be able to handle the blockrate soon.

There are still some issues with the client:
1. It rejects blocks submitted by cgminer over RPC.
2. Mindfox says there is something wrong with PoS block transmission.
These could be fixed in an update that takes effect on a future block.

Also, canoe, I will give you my point of view, as a miner now. Not as zeuspool's admin team member, not as a member that tries to help out the coin.

I ceased all mining activity so I can help the developer of this coin revive it and make it stable. The reason I did it: I believe that this coin has potentials.
Is it fair for me, to have all those miners around me mining, while I'm just removing blocks, mining blocks, deleting wallet, so that I can help find the problem and probably a solution?

Then, why don't I just drop everything I do and start mining myself also?

Where is the community in that?

Also, the pools will not be able to handle the block rate. Not with this wallet... Period

Ugh. It would have been nice if the dev had said to stop mining. It still would be. His last post shows how to increase performance of dblib which suggests mining is a go.

I want the coin to succeed also, so let me know if you need any help testing. I'm in #version on freenode. (Only two of us there!!)

FYI, I don't have "ERROR: CheckProofOfStake()" in my log but you explained why. I do have the REORGANIZEs. Mostly 1,2,and 3 blocks.
Your 22000 REORGANIZE, wow!
And I think the windows error was just that the new wallet doesn't like the old wallet's addr.dat.
