PHS 50% PoS - Stop mining start minting

Quote from: mighty jol on March 18, 2014, 02:16:32 AM

Hello palmdetroit,

(first post here)
I have been reading on phs for awhile now and decided to get into it with the new client release (which actually syncs at least 10 times faster on my laptop, thank you for that ^^). The thing is i don t have any mining hardware and mining doesn't attract my attention that much so i don't plan on buying anything for that.

So there is my question: is it possible to actually buy some phs right with euros €, or do i have to buy bitcoins then trade thoses bitcoins for philosopherstones and do the opposite when i want to cash out?
And do i have to pay attention to bitcoin exchange rate? (if it drops, does the rate on phs drop too? or is it independant)

Anyway i'm still decided to get my and on some phs

thank you.

Hi, Glad it's faster for you, I like the quick start-ups.

You can acquire PHS at the exchanges listed on the first posts, and yes only for BTC at the minute, however plans are in place to add PHS to a USD>ALT>USD (direct) exchange in the future.

And yes a good example when PHS made its 150x price run based in BTC, BTC was also up, so in this way PHS works as a bit of leverage. This works both ways it seems Tongue

So I guess you can view it as a sort of leverage on BTC (which is what all alts are to different degrees)

hope this helps.

Wonderful, thanks a lot. Using the same idea as the dev of HBN? Wink

Not that it's bad, quite the contrary, as my favorite coins happen to be HBN and PHS. Cool

I support PoS based coins and think it's in everyone's interest to have some basic standards between clients.

For example everyone can find their stake/mint information in the same place across clients, makes it user friendly.

Not to mention, I like having this too Wink

(and let's face it the majority of users hate going to console so why force them)

Downloaded all this new stuff, have wallet unlocked, and have owned the coins for about 6 weeks, not seeing anything about stake.

Would make it such a great coin, if this minting feature didn't require quite so much technical knowledge to use.

It's being simplified, see post above yours, for example.

It usually takes 10-15 days for minting on unmoved stones from when they are sent to your wallet.

I was searching for some interesting alt coin and found PHS. Then I go to http://phstones.com/ and when click on Download it actually downloads DimondCoin 1.0.4 . Shocked

PHS 50% PoS - Stop mining start minting

Next update for PHS is a larger one and will require deleting old block chain files and doing a full re-sync, luckily it will be much faster than the current client Wink

Benefits of the new client

Fast Start-up (about 20x+ faster)
Faster initial sync and faster syncing when catching up (2-8x faster)
Lower resource use CPU/Memory/IO
Option to remove all orphans from wallet (and annoying bug in recent transactions)
Bug fixes and lots more

It's being tested now and release a test version for testers by this weekend.

Quote from: romeshomey on March 09, 2014, 02:52:24 PM

I still am not sure what I am doing wrong, I still have no coins staked and still showing this in my wallet.

"StakeReadyStones" : 0,
"stakeinterest" : 0,

...

I open my wallet, then unlock it using a .bat file, the message that says 'Minting is stopped due to wallet being locked' goes away.

Then I can leave my wallet open for 24 hours or more and open it every day over a period of several days, I have had coins in my wallet for a month now, and nothing happens.

I am still unable to figure out what is wrong and why I am not able to do any PoS.

Hi,

Check the 4 lines above that, the ones 'weight' you should see these increasing over time, ones in below-weight are too young. Also if StakeReady says 0 there is nothing yet to stake. Did you send some stones out after you received them?

You can post results here or PM for me to take a quick look at it.

Also you can verify the address has indeed the balance using explorer.
