Best pool for EZC?

I wonder it too.. A btc market would be very useful. Why just ltc market?

Yay!  Client all fixed, synced, and pool is ready to go.

http://ezc.pnwminer.com

• Stratum ONLY
• 1.5% Fees
• PPLNS
• 20 Confirmations

I'm sorry.  I meant it's only listed in a LTC market on Cryptsy.

Does anyone know why EZC is only listed on Cryptsy and only in a BTC market? 

Tried the reindex earlier and no go. Still waiting for the chain redownload to finish and will test again.

Have you tried running with -reindex, or by re-downloading the block chain?

I have:

    "version" : 60404,
    "protocolversion" : 60002,
    "blocks" : 262101,

It looks like things may have forked. Does anyone know what the real current block is? On a system running the new client?

Not using a gui. This is the Linux client. I can download the Gui and give it a try, but if the linux client will not work, then I will not be able to get my pool back up.

I'm assuming it would be your peer on the older version.  Did you try sending a coin?  I imagine it should work fine and you can ignore this warning.  

EDIT:  Sorry I missed that you've tried sending a coin.  Are you running a GUI?  Can you try the qt?

So since I have downloaded and installed the updated client I get the following message when trying to send coins or even list addresses:

error: {"code":-2,"message":"Safe mode: WARNING: Displayed transactions may not be correct!  You may need to upgrade, or other nodes may need to upgrade."}

Any Ideas?

ezcoind getinfo comes back with this:

{
    "version" : 60404,
    "protocolversion" : 60002,
    "walletversion" : 60000,
    "balance" : 1.00000000,
    "blocks" : 261845,
    "connections" : 3,
    "proxy" : "",
    "difficulty" : 1.98868119,
    "testnet" : false,
    "keypoololdest" : 1384058410,
    "keypoolsize" : 101,
    "paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
    "mininput" : 0.00010000,
    "unlocked_until" : 0,
    "errors" : "WARNING: Displayed transactions may not be correct!  You may need to upgrade, or other nodes may need to upgrade."
}

I think this is the newest version and I am connected to two other clients also on 6.4.4

One of the nodes is still on 6.4.2.

Checkpoint added and alert functionality updated.

Download links updated.

I agree.

And when new investors look for an altcoin, EZCoin will be one of the top choices because it's highly undervalued.

If we push it in social media and forums, it'll have its deserved place in top 10.

I think EZCoin has a ton of potential for growth.  There is a lot of money coming in to altcoins right now and there's more on the way-- these new investors are looking for smart investments!

Can we spice up the website and think about adding Mac, Linux and Android wallets?  Let's give EZCoin a facelift and watch it take off.

I am, and will continue to push EZCoin on social media.

I will contribute to a bounty for the new clients. Please PM me to coordinate.

Let's remember that the new money coming in to Bitcoin/Altcoins has a different perspective on what "value" is.  They're not going to (or even know how to) start mining any coins!  These people are looking to invest actual USD or BTC in these altcoins.  We need to present a quality product worth their investment.

 

Hi,

Since not all users of this coin are as active as you are, may I ask for a feature in a future wallet version?

Please implement one of the following features:
1) an autoupdate feature which automatically keeps the QT updated without the user doing anything (or with the user just clicking an "update" button which only appears when new updates are available - but where the entire update process is done automatically)
2) a notification feature where the user can enter his eMail address into the wallet and the wallet sends him an eMail when a new version is available? That requires - of course - that the wallet has a way to check for updates. But since Microsoft/Apple/Adobe/andalltheothers can do it, so can you :-)
3) (for those who don't even run their QT all the time) a notification feature where the user can enter his eMail address into the wallet and the wallet sends that eMail address plus its own version information to a central server of yours which then sends out an eMail when a new software version is available. And which sends a warning eMail when a mantatory update has to be performed.

Naturally, as of today, the Cryptocurrency-community has been very active but with the price explosion of the Bitcoin last month, more and more "normal users" will enter the market.
They will not keep their wallet running all the time.
They will not check the forum all the time.
But they might spend hard cash on buying this coin at an exchange and then send it over to their wallet. As a community, we even need that kind of passive user - and we need their money buying this coin.
And when they find ways to spend or donate the coin, they will. And for that purpose they will open their wallets - but not in between.

Having said this, I personally prefer feature (3) because it has a few advantage over the other 2:

• It keeps even those "passive" users in the loop that do not run their wallet regularily.
• That way, if a really important change has to be made (e.g. a new blockchain), even those users won't lose their money because they get a notification. Think of the bad publicity when "normal users" start losing their money because they simply ignored their wallets for months only to find them not working anymore because weeks before, a new blockchain or equally invasive measure was introduced without them knowing.
• That feature can be extended for marketing purposes: add a checkmark "the makers of this coin are allowed to send me exciting news about this coin yaddayaddaya" - and voila you get yourself a free marketing database with tons of eMail addresses that you can use to keep engaging your users. Notify them of new shops where they can pay with this currency. Notify them of faucets. Notify them of exchanges that trade this coin. Notify them of the rise in value of that coin. And so on. Just keep engaging even the passive users - because to make a currency successful, you need every hand and every dollar you can get.

You guys and all the other professionals or those that have privacy concerns won't use that feature - and should never be required to do so. But the regular passive user will get that fuzzy feeling that he will be informed of important stuff without him spending much time checking bitcointalk or their wallets. And that will give him extra confidence when it comes to him spending the coin or buying the coin with his FIAT.

Just a few additional remarks:

• Naturally, the best possible combination would be (3) with (1) where the users gets a "move your ass and update your wallet or else..." eMail (friendly version, of course) - and then he opens the wallet and clicks on the "update" button and that's it for him.
  
• May be the required serverside portion (the thing that collects all version information and the eMail addresses and which also allows for sending out mass eMails to all users in that database) could be written in a generic way so that other virtual currencies can implement that feature, too?
• May be, future wallets should have a default setting that causes them to run in the background as a service whenever the computer starts. That way, even many passive users will contribute to the P2P network without them even knowing. But that was just a sideline remark and describes a completely different feature request. But then again, while you are at it... :-)

Don't know. What do you guys think about that feature request?
Does anyone second that request?
Does anyone have a better idea how to solve the above mentioned challenges that this new species of regular, passive users will introduce in the weeks and months to come?

Thanks
Matt

P.S. Just a full disclosure: I have posted this same feature request to the thread of some other cryptocurrencies as well.

EZCoin started rising again. Nearly 2x in the last 12 hours. I think it's still insanely undervalued.

P2Pool.org now has a EZCoin Block Crawler:

EZcoin has just been listed on Coinmarketcap about just ONE hour ago.

The rises were pre-listing because the coin is vastly undervalued. Even now it's market cap as you can see is only 200k.
Congratulations on getting Block Exlporer sorted out and getting listing. The Devs have done well.

Will be watching over the next day or so as it continues. 11.7 million coins is a nice lower number compared to some
of these new ones coming out these days. And it's been out for a bit which is great.

Does anyone know what's causing EZcoin to see this rapid price increase on Cryptsy???  It has been on the rise for the past 3 days and does not seem to stop.  The price has increased 12 times and looks like it is going to continue rising.

Also, from the price history of EZcoin I can see that there was a similar price increase in August and then  the price collapsed again.  Does anyone know what was causing it then and what is causing this sudden increase now?   

How many existing coins are out there now on this one? Looks stable at around 13,000,000? Trading at about $0.01.
I see conservative block rewards which is great. Many years to mine the rest of the coins to 80m.
Good work guys on a nice and stable coin.

Looking forward to you guys getting up on Coinmarketcap soon. Keep that block explorer running smooth. Waiting for Gliss. Be ready...
Cryptsy should take off.
