Was chain fast this time? and no problems?

PHS.MINAR.CC POOL UP.
Client updated to latest version 1.2 (    "version" : "v1.2.0.0-beta-1",) with fixed source from:

https://github.com/palmd/philosopherstone at commit 69abf371d5.

It's a bug, stable client and nodes is more important for now, however. You can notice it most when difficulty shoots up very very high 20-30 500-1000Mhash, etc, for short periods, anything is possible 

I thought the rise in DIFF was unusual for such a Young Blockchain... is this slowing mining of new Coin???  Should it self adjust as blocks are delayed from expected mining schedule???  please keep us uptodate...THanks for the Great work.

PHS.MINAR.CC POOL WILL BE DOWN IN ABOUT 10 MIN FOR CLIENT UPDATE, FOR AS LONG AS THE CHAIN DOWNLOADS. YOU CAN STILL POINT YOUR CGMINER AT THE POOL (IF USING CONF WITH MULTIPLE POOLS ADD IT AS POOL 0, AND ADD ANOTHER POOL ON 1, THEY WILL RECONNECT BACK TO THE POO WHEN CLIENT FINISHES SYNCING UP.
IM GIVING 10 MINS TO RECONFIG YOUR RIGS... WHILE I COMPILE THE NEW SOURCE..

EDIT: Pool website will tell you when the stratum server is down and back up, so for now just make sure you set you rig properly.

PHS.MINAR.CC POOL UP.

Just wanted to tell...

You're doing an awesome job!
Thank you!

Just a heads up to miners (and solo miners).  I did some update to increase connectivity and also added back upnp to the Qt client, will have a windows bin later today or tomorrow with these upgrades. being on the new client and with these updates will ensure your submitted blocks don't get 'rejected'  source ready at:

https://github.com/palmd/philosopherstone

Also of note to miners: there is a problem with difficulty being too high and if/when this can be fixed will let you know before the new client comes out to prepare for lots more coins.

stay tuned.

Support for PHS in Alt Coins List.... Here is the mess I sent to XORXOR of the alt coins BBS:

XORXOR,

I think that the new coin Philosopherstone has gotten ALOT of community around it for such a new coin, 
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-philosopherstone-phs-no-premine-mandatory-update-12beta3-263744
although we dont have an explorer, and barely an exchange - recently PalmDetroit and Balthazar stepped in and did a great job of adding the needed checkpoints and some other mods to the QT while the developer was on an international biz trip.  This is a GREAT coin, NO premine, FAir Launch, the Blockchain has worked through the initial POW POS difficulty conflicts and mining difficulty is stabilizing. 
 Each normal block has 64 Philosopherstone
   - 2 minutes block time
   - Difficulty retargets every block
   - Mining payout will be halved every 3 months (or every 64800 blocks)
   - Expected total mined coins will be 8,891,840 Philosopherstones
   - 4 confirmations for transactions
   - 50 confirmations for minted blocks
   - Support transaction message
   - Maximum number of Philosopherstones to be generated is 2 billion

   - Random bonus blocks are (on average):
      - 1 superblock of 512 Philosopherstones every day
      - 1 superblock of 128 Philosopherstones every hour (24 such blocks per day)
   - When getting superblocks, different images will displayed, so it is easy to see.

POOLs:

So, in Conclusion, I think that PhilosopherStone - PHS is really a good candidate that has risen from PUrgatory to the status of Alt-Coin Candidate

sincerely,  Digeros

Send Him one too, If you agree,  so that PHS will rise in that list that SO MANY People look at from PUrgatory to Candidate List.

Get a clean chain !

Remember orphans and forks are cause by the older clients/nodes so this will help with that, also the next update will reduce risk of fork/orphan moreso.

Chain should update very fast this time too.

Blockchain should be syncronized from the zero.

Ill upgrade the pool with that source, is it safe to just replace the binary?

Everybody make sure to upgrade, the 1.2 client had a nasty bug! 

there still problems with all sorts of old nodes on the network but if most upgrade this will be resolved.

Newest working version

win32 client

Will do , newer client should be in good shape as long as the old ones upgrade, still have lots of older nodes =p Will pm you when client is update again and thanks.

sounds like more fun stuff for today

GREAT JOB PalmDetroit and Balthazar for the fix of the QT (seems to work perfectly) and GLad to See John DID NOT abandon the coin (he just has a REAL LIFE!!! - GOOD going John for a really well configured coin that even survived such a hiccup (it is a hiccup, not a disaster - created by an excited mining crowd).  I think this coin with its fast transactions confirmations, moderate block generation rate and strong POS generation will stabilize this blockchain over time.  Thanks to goodness and good admin habits - ALL my mined Coins ARE TRUE on the TRUE BLOCKCHAIN YEAH YEAH YEAH!!!!

I think I see the light at the end of this little tunnel.  digeros

Hi Tony, why are you saying that?

+1 for pool !

Oh, I see. Would you guys mind sending me a PM when this is done so I could know when to update the exchange's client? Thanks

Too soon, because there are some things that must be done. This should be applied before going to production. But we can't do it without a developer's direct participation.

You need to generate two key pairs using makekeypair RPC call. One for alerts and one for checkpoints. If you publish the public keys here, we will be able to update the source and binary builds while you are unavailable.

P.S. And don't forget to keep your private keys in the safe place.

great
