Yes, well, that's about all you need:
- open the stated port on your firewall
- edit config file to run as a full node (and restart)
You should see the number of connections rising to about 30, over a matter of minutes.
And then you should be running the node most of the time, as continuously as possible.
I got that much from toxtox as well, while I was setting up Philosopherstone-qt under Linux. Great thanks to him, otherwise Linux people would get stuck...

@wedge667Thank you for your full node network support. I run a full node since January 2018, too.
I guess if there were more userfriendly documentation about how to run a full node we would have more full nodes...especially because the PHS-wallet is available as an ARM-CPU (Raspberry Pi) version.
https://github.com/toxtox/philosopherstone/releases
Currently the only information known to me about how to set up a full node for PHS can be found in the Readme.txt on github

Data Port: 16281 (17281 Testnet) (=Requirement for running wallet as full node: enabled UPNP in router and wallet needed or better manually opened port in router => more then 8 connections)

Additionnaly, if anyone here can afford it, running a full node sounds like a sensible idea.
I don't think there's many of them, maybe only about 6, and from what I hear it's absolutely necessary for the network to be operational.
I'm running one of those on a small fanless computer that consumes only 10W, and it doesn't cost much CPU, a bit of memory though.
I was strongly encouraged by one of the devs to do so, he said the network was still fragile and needed investment by the members.
It only takes minor changes in the config file, AND for the machine to be running most of the time (people will be connecting to your place, so you can't shutdown without notice).
If you're running something like a miner, or a home web server, or what not, then it has little overhead, and it's one more chance that the network will survive.
I'm available for questions about this, though more experienced members of the community could probably explain a lot more.
And +1 for using PHS for actual trades, though we must be sprinkled over between North America and Europe, and there's little chance we're going to find opporunities... Maybe Cryptopia trade is the best option towards that, so whoever wants to do this should keep an eye on announcements quoted in PHS.

Are there a roadmap here?
At the moment the wallets seem to run quite good (no complaints here).
But I have planned one or two commits this year (depends on my freetime)
Maybe Vlatk is working on an mobile wallet and on updating the website.
Maybe Palmdetroid has some additional idea.
But the biggest commit for PHS would be just using it for buying something of your friends
or for paying donations for example for donationware-software and so on.

Think I had this too, probably still have it, but it's not an error, just a warning... does it start up or not ?
Generally speaking, Linux will tend to give you warnings about anything that is _potentially_ going wrong, but most of the time it will work anyway -- that is, if it's labelled as a warning and not as an error.
For a reference, I doubt I've ever been compiling anything except small code examples without getting warnings about all sorts of things -- most of the time you can just ignore it.
Though, if you can fix this warning, you should consider opening an issue on the GitHub, any help should be welcome :-)
If I'm wrong about any of this, someone please tell me...
Yeah, it still runs ok, it just nags at my OCD lol. I'll ignore it, cheers.

Hi fellow PHSers,
I've got my Raspberry Pi up and running however when I start the wallet I receive this error:
libpng warning: iccp: known incorrect sRGB profile.
I have found how to fix it but can't find the image files, does anyone know where they are stored?
Cheers

As far as I know, no exchanges credit PoS interest, as that only happens on the individual wallet level.
Sure, this is why I have written "PC- or Raspi-wallet". It makes no sense to keep the stones at cryptopia for a longer period of time.Quote
At one point I sent myself my entire wallet in order to consolidate the interest payments. A tactic I would not attempt again, but the program knew that the transaction came from "self" and now most of my minting is titled "self" or "cryptopia"
Yes, this makes it easier for you to track your rewards. The titles of your incoming addresses are only program-internal. Do you have privacy concerns with the wallet itself? If yes, feel free to read the source code and compile it from source

Second, I'd be interested in how most of you are obtaining your stones.
As long as we get 50% p.a. (POS) the easiest way to get more stones is staking/minting. Buy some stones put it in your PC- or Raspi-wallet, relax
and look again to your wallet after 9 days 
. (Could take a longer time with a small amount of stones [if less then 5000 for example])Here you can find a good advice for optimizing your POS-REWARDS by defragmentation:
https://twitter.com/PHS_stone/status/977292183106654208
This results in getting HIGHER REWARDS instead of many small rewards

I'm just minting at present, for a few hours each day. Trying to get my Raspberry Pi up and running to leave on 24/7 though.
I've sold some other Alt coins and currently have a few buy orders in
I think you can only buy from Cryptopia with NZD (luckily I live here)
Onwards and upwards (after my buy orders have been filled first lol
)

)Hey everyone! Hasn't been a post for awhile so thought I'd start some chatter.
First, it's good to see the price up a bit, even though it be on low volume.
Second, I'd be interested in how most of you are obtaining your stones. I have just traded in other crypto I have mined over at Cryptopia. Is there a place where you can just buy PHS with straight up USD? (I don't think so
)
Third, some of the grammar on the website is just a tad "off", to be respectful. Some words that should be plural are not and such. Any interest in me help clean anything, please let me know.
Looking forward to the future!

Well, I get home from work, and it seems to have worked its self out. Synched and staking again. I guess my childhood friends dad had it right, computers do run on FM, fuckin magic. lol

@VladK :
When you scroll down the http://philosopherstones.org/ website you will find the twitter icon but without any link/function.
Maybe you could assign one of the twitter-links of my preceding post above?
Further have you already thought about putting the "get it on f-droid"-button on http://philosopherstones.org/ for the "Simple Philosopherstone Widget"?

Philosopherstone is a 4 stars coin now! The rating at www.cryptopia.co.nz of Philosopherstone was increased for a second time from initially 1,5 stars via 3 stars in December 2017 to 4 stars NOW!
This means Philosopherstone is one of the 30 highest rated coins out of 585coins available at cryptopia exchange (only 29 coins have more then 4 stars)!
Check out here: https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/CoinInfo/?coin=PHS
The rating is based on the following criteria:
Windows Wallet +100
Linux Wallet +100
Mac Wallet +100
Mobile Wallet +100
Web/Paper Wallet +100
Premine 0% No change, 0.1%-2% -200, 2.1%-10% -300, 10.1%-50% -400, 50.1%-100% -600
Website +100
Block Explorer +200
Cryptopia Forum Thread +200
Thanks to VlatK, Palmdetroid and all other supporters we have everything of the rating list above but no "Mobile Wallet" or "Web/Paper wallet" yet. (By the way in my opinion cryptopia itself is a web wallet, too.)

NEW Simple Philosopherstone Widget => get it on www.f-droid.org is for tracking continuously the Philosopherstone price on your Android mobile phone.

@VladK : If you think its cool enough for the website you might put the "get it on f-droid"-button on http://philosopherstones.org/ :
Code:
By the way, the price widget on f-droid might help to make Philosopherstones a little bit more known to the world outside of this forum.
But f-droid app-store is still less known then google play store. Therefore not everybody will find it.
Has anybody in this forum a google play store account who could bring the Simple Philosopherstone Widget to the google play store?

Installed and working great, fully connected, and it started up just a bit quicker, from around 10 to 12 to around 8 seconds off of my SSD. Good to see the links fixed. Looking good!
