Client has been stable for some time now.   I have noticed there is actually still a few old clients out in the wild.   

Will put out a new update slightly before the reward halving coming up.

Also have some other improvements here and there to implement at that time.

GOOD JOB -  How else can we attract new users and miners to PHS???  I would really like to see the PHS network Hash rate to get above 100Mh/s and stay there as that seems to be a break-off point for successful script alt-coin networks. - digeros

both pools working fine...

your pool phs.minar is showing DEAD in cgminer.... -Digeros

TECH QUESTION::: Interesting how the POW DIFF last night was hovering STEADILY around 240K -270K... IS this the moderating factor of the POS stakes?

Second,  normally at that kind of DIFF. I would have found at least one solo block in the night but no luck... What are the other factors that influence the creation of blocks?  - digeros

0 on both now.. This is making small miners cry when trying to mine PHS.. only medium to big miners can solo

Doing my best to support the net of PHS both on the server side as well as the market.. lets keep it above 0.03 / 1000 PHS FOLKS that has got to be a bottom value.... Do YOU NOT LIKE the 50% annualized POS return and stability of the PHS network... IT is working for me  and I have YET to find any other POW/POS script coin with the network strength and legitimacy of PHS.  (and I am always looking..anyone have an interest in infinitecoin??? or CryptoGenicBullion... and still they don't seem to measure up to PHS)  
I am really at a LOSS to find other coins that are worth my hash... if you know what I mean  but if  someone wants to give me an argument for any Other ALT-coin I am willing to listen -digeros.... PS.  I will be paying off that PHS giveaway that PalmDetroit convinced me into and I hope he will close that silly thread....  PALM just close it and I will figure out how to get the people that have signed up so far their promised PHS's -D

NOTE: on 50% annualized return: Venture Capitalists of Silicon Valley EXPECT a 20% annualized (Calculated of, course after taking any entrepreneur's projections of revenue and DIVIDING BY 2 and taking any projections of expenses and MULTIPLYING by 2).... so a 50% annualized return on such a speculative investment as a crypto-currency should be around AT LEAST TWICE that expected return... SEE??? -digeros

Any volunteers for mining at the pools? pretty low hashrate atm...

Ok, guys. I solved the problem with stucked transactions. If you have this problem too, try my method. Need delete ALL transactions from your wallet with PYWALLET (read this https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/pywallet-22-manage-your-wallet-update-required-34028) utility (thanks to Palmdetroit), its not easy but it works. After installing all components, you can manage your wallet in web-interface with firefox and etc. (not only PHS, IMHO all qt-wallets will do). You need manually delete all transactions including those confirmed. After that empty wallet will synchronizes, gradually all of your good transactions will be added to the wallet, and stucked transactions does not appear in it. In the end, you'll have wallet with only by verified transactions without transaction with a "question mark". Looks like wallet working simply as ledger, and if the network has no trace of a failed transaction, it will not sync in your wallet. Thanks all who trying and really give me help.

I need a block samples for the correct answer. But I can guess that it's the result of system-specific issues. I'll release patches for PHS and CAP soon.

PHS is based on old NovaCoin sources, so it has no LevelDB layer. But that's interesting.

I figured out what was wrong.

LevelDB was running out of mutexes.  To fix the issue, you have to create a new file in '.Philosopherstone' called 'DB_CONFIG' and add the line 'mutex_set_max 100000'.  Once I added that file, it synced up within minutes and it's keeping sync fine.  It struck me that I was probably running out of open files or hitting some limit.  I looked in the db.log file and sure enough it said over and over again, "unable to allocate memory for mutex; resize mutex region".

I deleted the transaction, it is no longer in my wallet, but the coin did not return ... apparently, I lost the coins (((
But, thank you very much for your participation.


You mean ./AppData/Roaming/dir? Did it too, no result (

Balthazar,

It's been hung on a block for almost 24 hours.  Is this normal behavior?

I'm using 1.2-beta3 and running debian testing amd64.  I cannot download the blockchain without starting and stopping the client repeatedly.  It will download successfully up to 15k and then I have to restart it every 1000 blocks.  After I get to block 20000, I have to restart it every 50 blocks.

Is anyone else having this issue or know how to fix it?

delete everything in the config dir (but keep the wallet) and resync from scratch, you should get your coins back. Happened to me during the 1.2 bug, my coins are gone, then with 1.2 beta, I cleaned everything, used my backed up wallet, and all coins reappeared.

If network hasnt accepted the transaction for reason of fees, for example, than it is comeback or something? Or coins lost anyway?

Wallet v1.2.0.0-beta-1. Has 0 of 4 confirms, and "question mark" instead of "clock face". This situation has not changed for about 3 days. Wallet is not in fork, coz after that tansaction I made ​​another one and coins came to cryptsy.

Some space issue on one of the server's partitions... My fault...
