Phoenixcoin New Specification for v0.6.5.0
(hard fork at block #154000)

total coin supply: 98 million (before: 168 million advertised)

block target: 90 seconds (before: 45 seconds)
block reward: 50 PXC (before: 25 PXC)
block reward halved: every 1000K blocks (before: every 1680K blocks)

retarget: every 20 blocks (before: every 126 blocks)
max. difficulty change: 2% (before: 9%)
averaging window: combined 100 + 500 blocks 0.25 damped (before: 126 blocks)

future time stamp limit: 30 minutes (before: 2 hours)
past time stamp limit: median of 19 blocks (before: median of 11 blocks)


The averaging algorithm is under simulations now and may be tuned up a little, but everything else is very much final. The current coin generation rate is unchanged. The hard fork is due in about 40K blocks from this moment which is more than enough to complete everything planned in time with no surprises. Beta builds will be released for testing later. More technical details on the hard fork are in this or this thread.

Anyone feel generous enough to reimburse me for the Coins-E debacle?  I lost 9980 PXC because of their incompetence  Undecided

In theory, the coins are not lost. If I understand the situation right, Coins-E failed to update their PXC daemon before the last hard fork and sent your coins while on the wrong block chain. Once they upgraded the daemon and switched to the correct block chain, the transaction disappeared and the coins re-appeared in their wallet. If they didn't repeat the transaction or credit the coins back to your balance, it was a scam. Use Cryptsy instead.


Yes, its a scam alright. I bought 12k PXCs at almost 0.25 BTC and Coins-E stole it. They actually mailed me saying to check my wallet again Roll Eyes https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/beware-of-coins-e-they-are-stealing-coins-from-the-users-294224

Anybody feeling generous please donate a bit.

Now without any plans of adding value, I don't see a future for Phenixcoin, sorry to say. The only thing you guys have going for you is Ghostlander's support. A very intelligent an capable guy. Maybe there's still hope if you find people who can innovate for PXC. But why would they innovate for PXC instead of for a coin with a better reputation ?

Any coin is a tool for people to use. If the tool functions poorly or broken simply, it doesn't matter if you have any ambitious plans of use for it.

I wish you'd stay, lord knows we need solid guys and gals with integrity on this scene to make it where we all need to go.. Unfortunate indeed. GL bro

Thanks man. Yeah we need people with integrity. And to make any coin work we need something of value to add. Something usefull. Yet another coin without any added utility for the general public is a waste of time and total speculation.

I joined the PhenixCoin team because I thought it was really going to be the next step in cryptocurrency. Now it turns out our lead coder was in it purely for his own financial gain and didn't care at all about the people investing in it. Stealing from them via the premine. Sickening.

I'm sorry to say that after quite a bit of consideration I am bowing out as community leader for PXC.

Last week I found out that Mike has sold the pre-mine. That upset me so much that I was literally sick for two days. Couldn't sleep at night. Epic betrayel, after months of him swearing that he would never sell the premine, and me defending him at every turn.
I'm done with Phenixcoin and to be honest, the whole cryptoscene has left a bad taste in my mouth and a vaccuum in my savings account.

I took a break from the forums for a while and now I'm back to try and clean up some of the mess left by Mike and John. Check out https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/scam-warning-phenixexcom-scammer-tag-requested-299765

Joerii, sad to see you go. There is little I can do about it, at least I can tell people the real story behind the PXC pre-mine.

Mike had mined about 1 million PXC (~20K blocks) before the currency was released to the public. These coins were the community property, and they were supposed to be used for bounties, prizes, give-aways, etc. In a matter of fact, only a small part of them was used for this purpose as none of the PXC projects ever reached production level. Most of these coins (816K) were accumulated in his wallet at Pbg8ZUXw84QC575GRDLJyMYFmm35Pyn9i2 address. They were supposed to be kept there, but 410K went to Puk5qvEyvt85rGQwuH4R4TjhwrRPSdnJwm between 31-May and 8-Jul, and 318K to PoEicfiNj1mQvLgaT27GSSMPUDBTzsNS16 between 11-Jul and 21-Jul. Both of them are Cryptsy addresses. PXC had been listed there on 24-May, but Mike asked Vern to make a one week delay, so the actual trading took place on 31-May. So, he sold it all before people realised the UNOCS Bridge and other projects he was supposed to work on were a complete failure. He knew it better than anyone else.

Now you all know what a piece of shit Mike Burns is.

P.S. Our new web site, Phoenixcoin.org, is online.

EDIT: Let the following be here as well. Mike sold most of his BTC redeemed from the pre-mine dump to USD. 157ukbZ9d3CfjqKjjUF3aSHfrdpVJEtpHr is his address and this is his #bitcoin-otc trust profile. Funny thing, he was scammed for 8.5 BTC there while sending first. I'm quoting his Bitcoin-OTC IRC when he was complaining of being ripped off and bragging of selling the pre-mine (http://bitcoinstats.com/irc/bitcoin-otc/logs/2013/07/17):
