I get it, but if anyone wants to close their position in this coin, I don't mind buying some.

Good luck, it took me 6+ months buying 15 to 50 Satoshis range to collect 1 million coins. You might actualy be better with mining, difficulty is low and there are still 70k blocks untill reward halving.

I am aware of all you posted but I was withdrawing coins from exchange. But even with mining pool scenario wallet could act more inteligently, for example if it tries all unspent inputs but it still can't create transaction it could pop-up message saying "Can't create transaction for 100,000 coins but I can create transaction for 20,000 coins so press OK to withdraw 20,000 coins or Cancel to abort". Compared to that "Transaction creation failed" occuring randomly sounds like alpha-stage coin at the time when some other coins almost landed to Moon.

WTB a few million PXC @ 15 sats per coin. PM me your offers.

It happens with mining pools often. They have balance to pay, but their inputs are low priority due to age and require a fee. Pools charge a base fee on withdrawals, for example, 0.1 PXC. However it may not be enough for transactions with many inputs which require fees up to a few PXC due to size. It's possible between the 2nd and 3rd withdrawal attempt enough inputs have matured to make a high priority transaction or the transaction size decreased due to new blocks matured.

Your right, a lot of wallet have this problem. As a pool operator, I see this often.

Upon attempting to withdraw coins from Safecex I'm often getting "Transaction creation failed" errors. Probable cause is wallet attempting to pick too many unspent inputs and ending up with too big transaction, unable to recover from problem. Such things should not happen, wallet should not insist on unspent inputs which are oldest or are highest priority but try to use all unspent inputs before finaly giving up. So it should try with oldest or highest priority ones, if unable to create transaction try with newer or high priority ones and then if still unable to create transaction use whatever it takes to eventualy create it. If nothing works only then give up and post "Unable to create transaction, please withdraw less coins". Could such fix be added to PXC?

First attempt was failure.
Second attempt was failure.
Third attempt worked.

The same amount of coins was used with all three attempts which means wallet can actualy create transaction but it is plain stupid and requires human interventions, not good enough for year 2016.

lol, i guess it is all about Hex

Glad to see PXC online again , i was able to move my PXC out of Cryptsy and to transfer it to my wallet and Cryptopia  

I will take a look now at this SafeCex  

thx for the info

SafeCex also offers instant PXC exchange to BTC or any other coin traded on that exchange, no need to create account. You can also buy PXC or any other coin using the same feature, try it!

Any exchange is just what it is, an exchange. A place to buy/sell and deposit/withdraw coins. I don't understand why people are comfortable to hold large balance there if they're not into active day trading.

I'm moving my trading to SafeCex, some people behind Cryptopia are way too arogant and stupid for my taste and the whole place stinks even though they seemingly have good exchange security.

If it is set to the last block like in our case, there is no forking or reorgs in general. It's there to protect the network. I plan to remove advanced checkpoints in the next major release. The whole network hash rate is an equivalent of 8 R9 280X or 4 GTX 980, more or less.

It shows that checkpoint is at the last mined block or I am interpreting data wrong. I mean, if checkpoint is at the last mined block than how come blockchain reorg in case of forking (orphans)?

}

What I was thinking with "checkpoint" is hard-coded (or automatic) blockheight below which no reorg can ever be done, regardless of how much hashpower attacker has or whatever else. For example, with Bitcoin checkpoints were added by developers at certain blockheights, usualy few thousand blocks behind the latest block. Such approach is considered centralized (requires trust) so many altcoins switched to automatic checkpointing, done by each and all nodes on their own (trustless).

Unrelated, getmininginfo reveals that current PXC hashrate is only a few million hashes per second so how many GPUs would that be? A dozen, or less? What is NeoScrypt hashrate of a top GPU used this days anyways? I'm thinking to start solo-mining PXC but can't find any decent mining calculator.

Fixed. The SQL back-end ran out of memory. A web site update is in the queue.

RPC getcheckpoint shows the latest checkpoint.

Explorer at http://explorer.phoenixcoin.org/chains is stucked for more than 6 days and no changes were made to official PXC website.  

Does PXC wallet uses automatic checkpointing? If not, at what blockheight is the latest checkpoint?

If you have any PXC stuck at Cryptsy, withdraw them now!

I will gradualy increase liquidity at https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Exchange?market=PXC_BTC so move your "high-volume" trading there, it is decent exchange with many altcoins and great security.

I don't buy the story put in their blog. These coins could be stolen only with an insider help. I've heard many times Vernon is the only person with access to their cold wallets. I also know they run every wallet in a separate VM. There were just a few people at Cryptsy with appropriate access level. I'm sure all of them will be questioned by the federal authorities. After all, Cryptsy was a FinCEN registered business.

I think Cryptsy is finished. Not sure if you have checked their latest blog entry at http://blog.cryptsy.com/ but it is quite revealing. So far, none of exchanges that were badly hacked realy managed to recover, besides MtGox and MintPal that never recovered there are still running but almost abandoned Vircurex and Bter. I'm not seeing why should Cryptsy end up any better. I for sure won't be trading there anymore.

Yes, Cryptsy used many addresses, however they put most of their balance under this one. I don't think all those coins have been lost. Not much BTC value there at the current prices. We'll see how this drama gets played out.

I'll take care of the web site update. The UNOCS is an ancient history now. Let it stay in our wiki page and free site space for something more optimistic.

NSGminer v0.9.1 released with my NeoScrypt OpenCL kernel v6. Should be compatible with the latest AMD Catalyst drivers. Also delivers a little performance improvement over the previous release.
