I just restarted mayas pool wallet, maybe you noticed that. Tomorrow we will start, as announced with pool database cleanup. Also the redundancy daemons will be setup on the pools. That means each pool will be closed for about 8 hours, until all mined blocks are confirmed and payed out. I'll check the POS immediately.

Will the pools be closed on a rotating basis (failovers will work) or will they all go down together?


Of course. Failovers will still work. The mining control will automatically switch to one of the other pools, even when CPU-mining. By design, minerd doesn't support fallback, so we had to implement it specially.

PoS on deck.

T-3 minutes

 Wink

Add: had my math off by 10 minutes, and it looks like it's late too boot.

Add: don't know  Huh  BTW, anyone got any theories on why the difficulty suddenly fluxuates from the low 40's down to the teens? (Check out the series from 23430 to 23450 for an example.) Still no PoS. Hum.

Add: thought I was on to something there, but I had only looked at 4 hours of recent BE history, now after going further back, I see that I'd better not hold my breath on this countdown.  Cheesy

So I was in the shower and came up with an idea that could help both the wallet woes and give the devs time to rethink the POS issues. Its kinda funny how running water can have such heavy influences on our awareness. I was think instead of implimenting POS into the current payouts we could instead make the POS for early adopters more like a certificate of deposit(CD). In other words allow users to choose how much they want to put into a savings account in the wallet that is not spendable unitl it has matured to a specific date. Allow users to specify between different amounts of time like 2yr 3 yr and 4yr. This way the devs could have time to figure out how to payout the 20% interest on these accounts over tim for at least 2 years, The users get to keep mining groestl pow and making aidbit..and the best point of all...This would be even more assurance that those with CDs would hold aidbit and not dump it for at least 2 yrs. IMO this would be highly lucrative for early adopters and also an added bonus for late adopters to keep adoption going. It would also encourage more buy orders than sell orders increasing aidbits liquidity.

I really like this idea too. Very interesting. I'm not sure how it would be implemented (but, hey, that's not my job Wink ) but I'm sure it can be done in some shape or form. Maybe not exactly as you have conceived it, but perhaps something similar. Great idea for motivating people to think long[er] term!

I also had a 'bright' idea (but I don't remember if I was in the shower or not Wink ), and mine was about the charity side of things. The phrase "give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime" came to mind, and I thought, hey, if we could link AidBit charity to information technology, wouldn't that be great? Supporting community centers in underdeveloped areas (1st world, 2nd world, 3rd world, whatever and wherever) with IT infrastructure (computers?) and internet connectivity (and of course, AidBit wallet installs) would be an example that would be incredibly charitable and symbiotic at the same time. It would sure beat giving away paper wallets anyway!



That would make for a truly organic grass roots movement. Actually both our ideas combined would anchor aidbit in both the third world and first world sector. Right now most alt coins get pumped and dumped and the developers never get to see their coin make a difference in the world. It would be a hell of a lot harder to cause a dump in AidBit when people buy and then move all their money into their wallet to get the long term interest on it. The more people save the stronger AidBits value the more charitable we can be..the more third world nations we can bring into the digital currency age.

Thank you guys for your great ideas. The first idea is of course economically sound but somehow we think that there are other options for creating scarcity and keeping the people from selling cheep. One of AidBits main ideas is also freedom - freedom to do whatever you want with your money. Wouldn't be better to win people over with our vision and passion and not by a binding contract. It just reminds us too much of rigid banking systems. At this point we'd like to direct our energy into spreading the AidBit over as wide audience as possible.This should have a same effect, if not better.

HR, your humanitarian idea is great and very close to something we have in mind.  But first things first. Smiley 



I saw that other altcoins are being created with the same ideas. We have competition...hardcore competition. This one called hyperstake  pays 750% interest on all saved coins. Its experimental and only x11 so not as efficient as groestl but the idea of encouraging saving is becoming more prevalent. I understand what your saying about having the freedom to do what ever you want with your money. What I'm saying is that some people actually want to make more interest on their money by putting it into those types of unspendable long term accounts. In other words I like the freedom to choose from different savings options. It adds diversity to the types of users you would attract. So right now the base POS system begins to mature after 7 days for up to 2 years at 20% interest and can be sold at any time during the maturation process. What I'm proposing is not to change what you already have but to add the option to make the account unspendable for the same amount of time with say 60% interest? and possibly in the future 4 years and 8 years options. I understand from a dev point of view this just sounds like more work but from a consumer point of view its exciting.

Windows Installer has just been updated. It should fix most browser blocking issues.
Code signing certificate is also of its way to make things even better.

Cheers,

Downloads great. Not a single issue.

Norton still flags the installer on launch, but only with a warning, and with the option to continue with the install.
http://us.norton.com/products/tutorials/tutorials.jsp?pvid=nis2011&tutid=download_insight

On the other hand, the attached sgminer is still flagged as Trojan.ADH.2 and automatically eliminated.
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2011-030906-0727-99&vid=42292


The installer will get some more modifications soon, like on demand download of blockchain and different options for fixing the sync problem and preloading the blockchain. Regarding the mining tools detected as malware, there's not really much we can do but try to contact the AV companies and submit false positives.

I think we should have a copy and paste statement for the Cryptsy add request so that its easier to submit requests. I think it should be short and to the point so they don't have to read much to get the point. I copy and pasted this from a previous post (with a few additions) and sent it cause I thought it embodied a lot of the excitement around the coin. It could be reworded a bit to make it sound more sensational. Any writers in here?


The best POW/POS coin in existence (using the best, most energy efficient algo in existence)
A truly state-of-the-art, one click mining wallet!
What's looking to be a network that's just as superlative as the coin and the wallet.
One of the best block explorers I've seen.
The most professional and engaged developers I have ever seen

Keep your AidBits for 1 week and start earning interest
10% of every block reward goes to a special charity account.
1 minute block time
Dynamic block reward



Gee, that looks really good.  Cheesy

I would rewrite the 3rd line so that it reads: A network that's looking to be just as superlative as the coin and the wallet.

I also forgot to mention the website. It's certainly one of the best as well. Well designed, pleasing to the eye, and to the point, highlighting all the key aspects without excess verbiage. A first class website that's good looking, intuitive, and succinctly informative!

As far as Cryptsy ticket submissions, personally, I've already done that and I'm wondering about the efficacy of the same person doing the same thing multiple times (which is very different from multiple submissions from different people, which I support), which might end up being counterproductive. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.8047745

I have another idea to present as a possibility. How about sending PM's to the following BitCoinTalk members?
bigvern  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=93918
BitJohn  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=110699
They're both active (and I'm sure they're well aware of what's happening here). What do you think? Devs, your opinions?

BTW,

last 24 hour growth in total money supply = 268466
last 24 hour approximate network hashrate (extrapolation based on actual mining payouts) = 2.28 GH/s
last 24 hour average difficulty (sgminer) = 25.18

We love the Web site as well. It really did turn out great. Also, thank you for contacts. The plan was to polish everything first, then switch into 2nd gear and contact them personally. Until then we' d like to ask the community to help us get noticed.

Thank you,

I think now it is the time to consider to push AID onto different exchanges,including cryspty though it is alway no easy thing.
The fork and pos issues are addressed and stable now.
How about sending request to Mintpal,Bittrex ,Poloniex,C-cex?
After all,more exchanges do not hurt.
What do you think,Dev?

We already contacted Moolah/Mintpal, since they also offer direct exchange to Fiat. Actually, community has to start pushing Cryptsy to accept us. Basically, if we want the best, we have to go for the best. Smiley

now that the network is stable, what's next for aidbit?

Right now we're working on most problematic issues, like modifying the installer not to include the mining tools but download them during the install and acquiring code signing certificate, to prevent Browsers from detecting the AidBit installer as malware. We're also in the process of Windows build environment optimization to make the Windows client as stable as possible.

In the mean time we started increasing our marketing operations and preparing media information. The first priority for AidBit right now is to get accepted on reliable and safe trading platform, preferably one which offers direct exchange to fiat.

Thank you for your question,
